Album Notes & Community Reviews
Canadian extreme metal stalwarts Despised Icon firmly solidified the deathcore genre's brutal framework with the relentlessly aggressive 'The Ills of Modern Man'. The punishing record relies heavily on ultra-fast blast beats, hyper-technical guitar riffing, and the terrifying dual-vocal interplay between Alexandre Erian and Steve Marois.
