Mixing and mastering were completed by CRYPTOPSY's very own Christian Donaldson at The Grid in Montréal.
Without a doubt their most dynamic venture to date, DESPISED ICON have a fresh and energy filled arrangement just waiting to see the light of day in the form of »Purgatory.« For many years, they have laid the foundation of deathcore and spearheaded different sounds and movements within the genre.
