Despised Icon – “The Healing Process”
This is an effort to get its audience jumping around, moshing and slamming. It says: “Society thinks you are a jackass and a loser for liking this noise. Well, you are a jackass. We, too, are jackasses.” This is music for the moshpit because you would be silly if you try to argue that this band actually has “musical” talent. The two vocalists bark like vicious dogs, with cupped-microphone gore vocals; the guitars all about the chugga-chugga breakdowns; that’s combined with blastbeats. If when you go to shows, you go to get drunk and act like an idiot (You’re not feeling “insulted” are you? Don’t get all “dignified” and “proper” now. You’re the one that likes Dying Fetus, after all.), this band should make you smile (like an idiot). Yes, they chugga-chugga and breakdown like there’s no tomorrow.
