Returning after an absence is always somewhat of an interesting experience. Regardless of the background of the events, whether it be returning to an old home, seeing an old friend or arriving back to a creative situation the entire process can be somewhat unexpected. Welcomed home after their decision to reform in their native Canada Despised Icon began their first steps towards a new chapter the bands career. Ressurecting the band and all it stood for the group endeavoured to create a new album that was harder hitting, more brutal whilst also being exactly what Despised Icon stood for. After a seven year absence the band once more deliver unto us a brand new record. We were lucky enough to have a post set chat with Eric Jarrin the bands guitarist to talk Beast and the bands reawakening.
