Despised Icon – Shadow Work
The perfect deathcore band of all time returns! Shadow Work (love the Carl Jung–impressed album title, by the way in which) continues the trajectory the band has been on since its superb return in 2016, however begins to lean in a extra melodic and groovy path. On this manner, the band is beginning to evolve into extra of a early-to-mid-2000s metalcore band. I dig it! It permits the band to stay recognizable as Despised Icon whereas making an album that stands aside from the remainder of the catalog.
