Beast is the crushing comeback album from Despised Icon, packed with relentless deathcore fury.

Released in July 2016 via Nuclear Blast Records, Beast is the long-awaited fifth studio album from Canadian deathcore pioneers Despised Icon. Arriving seven years after Day of Mourning and following the band's reunion, the album marked a triumphant return for one of the most influential acts in modern extreme music. Produced by former guitarist Yannick St-Amand and mixed/mastered by legendary producer Andy Sneap, Beast captures the band's signature blend of technical death metal precision, hardcore aggression, and devastating breakdowns with renewed intensity. Tracks such as 'The Aftermath,' 'Bad Vibes,' and the title track showcase the dual-vocal assault, punishing grooves, and relentless energy that helped define the deathcore genre in the 2000s. At the same time, the album expands the band's sound with darker atmosphere, melodic passages, and socially charged themes exploring chaos, violence, and the state of the modern world. Widely praised by fans and critics alike, Beast reaffirmed Despised Icon's position as one of the genre's true innovators and most respected heavy acts.
