Despised Icon announces final tour

Official press release: Brutally intense, unrelenting and outright savage were just a few ways the metal community described Montreal's hottest export Despised Icon as any of their live shows are a true lesson in violence. After four, full-length albums backed with an unrelenting worldwide touring schedule the band has decided to call it a day and wrap up a stellar career with a final U.S. and Canadian trek this fall. Be sure to stay tuned to www.myspace.com/despisedicon to view all upcoming tour dates as they are posted in the coming weeks. Alex Erian (vocals) further states: "It's been a little while since we've checked in with you guys. We're currently enjoying our first summer at home in over six years and it feels pretty damn good. However, we did receive amazing news a few days ago. Our last North American run is almost completely booked. We'll be touring most of the U.S. and Canada in September and October with our friends in Misery Index, Revocation and The Last Felony. We're stoked to have three of our favorite death metal bands on board with us for the final tour and urge you guys to check them out if you haven't already. Stay tuned as dates are coming soon."

brutally intense

sgd54 7/21/2010 4:10:10 AM

Kind of surprising considering these guys were making anywhere between $27,500 to $45,000 per tour for a few years now.

sgd54 7/21/2010 4:14:39 AM

I'm friends with Drummer Alex Pelltier and he told me this after a show once in case you guys are wondering.

Macgyver 7/21/2010 5:19:46 AM

Penis_Parfait 7/21/2010 10:05:11 AM

27000 divided by six = 4500$ per members, my god, their so riiiiiiich, that's how they buy all their shirtz and shoez and capz

fukuimdrunk 7/21/2010 12:42:41 PM

Montreals greatest export.... Molson Export

linkinpark 7/21/2010 1:07:11 PM

Well at least this trendy band will be leaving the deathcore scene before it's completely "uncool" while all these other bands will be trying to salvage their careers when the next trendy thing comes along.

InThePathOfTitans 7/21/2010 4:19:15 PM

finally, some good news.
