Montreal deathcore act Despised Icon are about to put out their sixth full-length record and second since semi-retiring, and they’ve got a new track to dive into.
The band’s new song “Snake in the Grass” is a burly straight-forward deathcore track with plenty of pig squeals and breakdowns.

With the band hitting their hometown for a massive show tonight alongside plenty of other death metal heavy-hitters, it’s a no-brainer they wanted to drop new material to head into the weekend with.
