Despised Icon returns with Shadow Work, their seventh studio album that finds the Canadian deathcore pioneers exploring new territory while staying true to their brutal roots. Released in 2025 through Nuclear Blast Records, this latest offering showcases the band's self-awareness and understanding of what made deathcore compelling in the first place, featuring an impressive roster of guest musicians including Matthew Honeycutt, Scott Ian Lewis, and Tom Barber.
This Nuclear Blast exclusive pressing is limited to just 400 copies on striking red, black, and white marbled vinyl, making it a must-have for collectors and fans alike. The album ventures far enough into uncharted sonic territory to rank among the elite entries in Despired Icon's catalog, with standout moments like the haunting acoustic strings that close "Fallen Ones," leaving listeners with an eerie yet strangely hopeful finale that demonstrates the band's evolved songwriting approach.
