Benighted - New Song Up

An uberly fantastic death grind band from France with incredibly catchy and memorable songs. I'm pretty sure a lot of you know this band so I won't ramble on about them. Identisick and Insane Cephalic Production are both very sweet albums indeed.
One thing to note that I love about this band is that I find that they're as aggressive a band can be without passing over into "brutal" territory so they retain a lot of their groove, melody and how shall I put it? Headbang-a-bility? Something like that.
Anyhoo my main reason for this topic is to gather opinions of the new album 'Icon' if anyone's heard it? Have a slight worry they're gonna head down the Deathcore path :/

Written by theflyingmachine on 15.05.2010 at 16:50 I see your point, although I think Benighted's breakdowns are one of their strengths and give them more... 'ooomph' for a lack of a better word which can't be said for the majority of deathcore bands. Somehow, these guys do it right... the breakdowns in Foetus and Grindwit immediately come to mind.

I finally listened to Icon and thoroughly got my ass kicked by it. Definitely looking forward to a 2010 release by these guys.

*lalalalala not listening not listening* No seriously, I don't want to go anywhere near their samples until I can get a hold of the whole thing. The greatest upside to not having a sound card is that I'm forced to download onto my Zune, and I can't download samples in an acceptable format just to listen, so I get to enjoy weeks/months of silence until the album's leaked/released.
