Single Release
Written By The Alt Journal

Canadian deathcore titans DESPISED ICON are back with Shadow Work (Nuclear Blast Records), their savage seventh album! A masterclass of relentless speed, crushing grooves, and morbid melodies, it's the band's most dynamic and uncompromising effort to date. DESPISED ICON drops 'Reaper,' a new collaboration of deathcore titans, featuring Tom Barber (CHELSEA GRIN) and Scott Ian Lewis (CARNIFEX). True to their signature style, the song delivers morbid melodies and massive grooves with relentless intensity. 

Watch the track video for 'Reaper' here:

Shadow Work was produced by the band’s own Alex Erian and Eric Jarrin, while Christian Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY, SHADOW OF INTENT, SIGNS OF THE SWARM) handled mixing and mastering. The album marks a significant chapter for a band whose core lineup has remained largely unchanged since its inception. It’s a deeply introspective record that reflects both personal growth and the turbulence of the world around us. The artwork for the album was created by Eliran Kantor (HATEBREED, THY ART IS MURDER, CAVALERA).
