Despised Icon Biography
Hyper-technical deathcore band Despised Icon was formed in Montreal, Canada, in January of 2002, and by year's end had already released its first album, Consumed By Your Poison, through local Galy Records. The group suffered a few setbacks due to lineup changes the following year, but rebounded by early 2004 with a retooled formation comprised of dual vocalists Steve Marois and Alexandre Erian, guitarists Yannick St-Amand and Eric Jarrin, bassist Sebastien Piche, and drummer Alexandre Pelletier. Their next recording was a self-financed EP entitled Syndicated Murderers, which, along with their hardworking tour schedule, helped get them signed to Century Media Records for the early-2005 release of their second proper full-length, The Healing Process. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
