Montréal, Québec, Canada-based deathcore band Despised Icon have released an official drum playthrough video for the track ‘Unbreakable’. Shot, directed and edited by Chris Kells of FTB Visuals, the clip can be viewed below.
Despised Icon issued sixth full-length album Purgatory on November 15th, 2019 through Nuclear Blast Records.
The band commented: “At long last, we finally have new music for you! This is the most time we’ve ever spent writing and recording. We could go on and on about how this is our heaviest, fastest and most diverse album yet, but we’ll let the music do the talking. We’ve been a band for 17 years and are thankful to have such a loyal and supportive fan base. Prepare for Purgatory.”
Purgatory was produced by Yannick St-Amand, Eric Jarrin and Alex Erian. The music was recorded by Despised Icon’s former guitarist, now-front-of-house engineer Yannick St-Amand while the vocals were recorded by close friend Antoine Lussier of Ion Dissonance. Mixing and mastering was completed by Cryptopsy guitarist Christian Donaldson at The Grid in Montréal.
