Info
On October 11, 2026 at Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, Despised Icon leads a bill cut for heavy hitters. Formed in 2002 in Montréal, the band forged a tight link between brutal death metal and hardcore, driven by the twin vocals of Alex Erian and Steve Marois and the rapid fire drumming of Alex Pelletier. Expect a set that connects early landmarks like Consumed by Your Poison, The Healing Process and The Ills of Modern Man with the comeback chapters Beast and Purgatory, the reworks on Déterré and the recent Shadow Work. Precise riffing, sudden tempo shifts and breakdowns keep the focus on impact and control.
Cleveland outfit 200 Stab Wounds brings a riff‑centric strain of US death metal built on mid‑tempo churn, thrash‑leaning cuts and guttural vocals. Launched around vocalist‑guitarist Steve Buhl, they broke out with Piles of Festering Decomposition and the debut Slave to the Scalpel before sharpening their approach on Manual Manic Procedures in 2024, where the writing stretches out without losing bite. Live, they favor compact structures, tight transitions and a dense guitar tone.
TEETH, Rust and Scorching Tomb open the night with a rawer underground edge, setting the stage for a bill anchored in contemporary death metal and its hardcore ties.
