Woah! Coming completely out of the blue, deathcore legends Despised Icon said they are calling it quits. It's no secret we were big fans of the band, as people and musicians. We have covered the band numerous times over the years. These guys always brought it live, and were incredibly tight. Drummer Alex Pelletier was a machine live, and the whole band just brought an energy to their live shows that made me want to rip somebody's face off (in a good way).
In a blog posting, the band mentioned that this is not the result of ill will, but members of the bands getting families, and houses… you know, real life stuff. The band isn't going out without one final bang though, they announced they will be booking farewell shows all throughout the US, Canada, Europe and possibly Asia and Australia. Be on the lookout for dates.
