In All Seriousness

When I opened my copy of this month's REVOLVER Magazine I was excited to see a brief (yet informative) blip on the progress of the new Despised Icon album. The Montreal death-metallers are scheduled to have a new album out in September! According to vocalist (the dude who doesn't pig squeal) Alex Erian the band are playing "faster and heavier without so many breakdowns. To me, it's more like modern death metal." Sad to see less breakdowns, because I think DI do them better than anyone on the planet, but it sounds good to me. Here's to hoping they can top The Ills of Modern Man, which is no easy task. Really stoked for this.
