Canadian deathcore pioneers DESPISED ICON unleash their seventh full-length album Shadow Work via Nuclear Blast Records. The album stands as the band's most fine-tuned and dynamic effort to date, balancing relentless speed, crushing grooves, and morbid melodies, while remaining true to their signature blend of extreme death metal and hardcore grit.

DESPISED ICON's new single, 'Shadow Work,' is an unflinching descent into inner turmoil and trauma. Backed by the band's trademark onslaught of blast beats and hardcore grit, the track chronicles a harrowing journey of self-reckoning and raw, cathartic healing.

Shadow Work was produced by the band’s own Alex Erian and Eric Jarrin, while Christian Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY, SHADOW OF INTENT, SIGNS OF THE SWARM) handled mixing and mastering. The album marks a significant chapter for a band whose core lineup has remained largely unchanged since its inception. It’s a deeply introspective record that reflects both personal growth and the turbulence of the world around us. The artwork for the album was created by Eliran Kantor (HATEBREED, THY ART IS MURDER, CAVALERA).
