Despised Icon was a Canadian deathcore band from Montreal, Quebec. Formed in 2002, the band is noted for the use of two vocalists; Alexandre Erian, takes use of a mid-range screaming technique, and Steve Marois for the low growling vocals, and high pitched screamed vocals. Despised Icon was known for its work in the underground music industry and have been considered one of the founders of the deathcore genre. In April 2010, the band announced that they would be disbanding and from there, began a large farewell tour held across several countries. Their final six shows were held in Quebec City, Toronto and Montreal during December of that year.

    Even when I consider the Ills Of Modern Man a ball-crushing and superb album, I have to go with The Healing Process as their best one.. Too much unstructured-yet-so-amazing violence in that record
