Our Take

Ah, DESPISED ICON, the Canadian deathcore veterans who have returned with their latest offering, "Purgatory." This album is a frenetic whirlwind of brutal breakdowns, guttural vocals, and crushing riffs that will have you headbanging until your neck can't take it anymore.

From the moment the opening track, "Doomed," kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's signature blend of hardcore and death metal is on full display here, with punishing blast beats and ferocious vocals that will leave you feeling like you've been pummelled by a sledgehammer.

But don't be fooled by the aggression – there is a surprising amount of melody and nuance to be found on "Purgatory." Tracks like "Light Speed" and "Dead Weight" showcase the band's ability to blend technicality with raw emotion, creating a dynamic listening experience that keeps you on your toes.

Overall, "Purgatory" is a solid addition to DESPISED ICON's discography, showcasing the band's growth and maturity while still delivering the bone-crushing intensity that fans have come to expect. So grab your earplugs, crank up the volume, and prepare to be taken on a journey through the depths of hell – you won't be disappointed.
