Despised Icon Album: “Day of Mourning”

Let me tell you, I thought Despised Icon's last CD ('The Ills of Modern Man') was brutal but beyond a shadow of a doubt they have topped themselves w/ their latest masterpiece 'Day of Mourning!' For those who say deathcore metal isn't true death metal or whatever well they need to shut up & listen to this disc because if you ever had any doubts about that genre of music this CD should silence those doubts!! This is some straight up heavy stuff & much more intense than anything I have heard from Despised Icon yet maybe from any group in this genre of music! Buy this & blast it..this will make your body explode!!!

AAAAHHH! Is all I could think of when the first song Les Temps Changent came blasting through my ears. It sent me into an uncontrollable frenzy of flailing and head banging.The leads that Jarrin pound out in Eulogy and Black Lungs are amazing. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best deathcore album of 2009. Also, if you do have the chance to see them live DONT MISS IT or you definitely will be sorry.

I picked up this cd the day I found out about it. As soon as I slowly turned up the volume knob with anticipation I was just like YES. This cd brings you back to when The Ills of Modern Man picked you up (minus the reeps lol), got you to flex and feel overcame with violence and intensity that made you want to wreck everything around you, and wouldn't let you sit down. This album hits super hard. Deathcore at it's finest, it's super sad that they are no longer together, this is a must for death metal fans of all sorts. Period.

Alex P. is a nasty drummer. Check him out on youtube, he is no joke. DI forever son.
