Despised Icon

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I just got their album (The Healing Process) in the mail today and have been listening to it all afternoon.

I was astounded how different this was from the average Metalcore stuff I have.

The vocals are the highlight for me.

Not taking away from the music at all, it flows and is extremly powerful.

This CD is amazing beyond words (for a metalcore release).I really like the mix of technicality. They remind me of bands like The Red Chord, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Discordance Axis, along with the brutality of bands such as Dying Fetus, Skinless and Decapitated.

I'll give their single a second listen.Are they still on Century Media?

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah I like them, the music is well heavy and there's no cheesy bits, the only thing I don't like about their sound is the pig squeal vocals, but luckily there's not a lot of it.

The Healing Process is an amazing album. Their new one, In The Arms Of Perdition, comes out soon too.

decent stuff I guess. I own The Healing Process, its ok.

 

[LivingCadaver]

I prefer their fist album there was more grind elements and the old singer (a girl) had sick vocals.

The new album is pretty good, there's a cool old school hardcore feel to it (with sing along and stuff) while staying metalcore (with very few breakdowns).

I'm not a huge fan of the healing process though...

Kind of a meh band for me. They were pretty good openers for Behemoth when I saw them.
