Despised Icon, Montreal deathcore trailblazers, unleash Shadow Work – a crushing return packed with speed, groove, and grim melody.

Fuelled by themes of resilience and inner reckoning, it’s their most focused, intense release yet. Produced by Alex Erian and Eric Jarrin, with guest vocalists from Kublai Khan TX, Carnifex, and Chelsea Grin.

Shadow Work marks Despised Icon’s most intense and refined release yet—fusing relentless speed, crushing grooves, and haunting melodies. Lyrically, it dives deep into themes of resilience, personal growth, and confronting the darker parts of the self, delivering a raw, introspective experience rooted in deathcore aggression.
