This marks their first new material in six years and promises to be their most refined and dynamic record yet, blending relentless speed, crushing grooves, and dark melodies with the band\u2019s trademark fusion of extreme death metal and hardcore grit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">The album is designed as a sonic rollercoaster, balancing aggression with atmosphere, pushing their signature style into new territory. Leading the charge is the new single \u201cDeath Of An Artist\u201d, accompanied by a video directed by Jessy Fuchs. The track dives into themes of self-doubt, ego death, and rebirth, capturing both personal torment and cathartic transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"DESPISED ICON - Death Of An Artist (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cgbhoxa2sAc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"DESPISED ICON - Death Of An Artist (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cgbhoxa2sAc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Musically, the song is defined by explosive blast beats, intricate riffing, and devastating breakdowns, echoing the band\u2019s death metal influences while reaffirming their core identity. Lyrically, it confronts broken promises and fading dreams before finding strength in rebirth among ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Frontman Alex Erian commented: \u201cWe promised a rollercoaster with this record, and now it\u2019s time to deliver. While \u2018Over My Dead Body\u2019 leaned into crushing grooves and dissonance, \u2018Death Of An Artist\u2019 goes full throttle with speed and technicality. It\u2019s not only my favorite track on the album but also the most personal. You can hear the echoes of classic death metal bands running through some of these riffs. We\u2019re just getting started. Thank you for listening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62191\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-770x770.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-293x293.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-390x390.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-900x900.png 900w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1400x1400.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62191\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-770x770.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-293x293.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-390x390.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-900x900.png 900w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-24-1400x1400.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despised Icon est\u00e1n de regreso con Shadow Work, su s\u00e9ptimo \u00e1lbum de estudio, que ser\u00e1 lanzado el 31 de octubre de 2025 a trav\u00e9s de Nuclear Blast Records.
