WATCH DESPISED ICON'S LAST SHOW, EVEN IF YOU HATE THEM

It was a sad day for pit ninjas when French Canadian proto-deathcore beefcakes Despised Icon called it a day. Immeasurably superior to a lot/most of the bands they inspired, they had an awesome run and despite dribbling to a close somewhat underwhelmingly, they'll be missed - unless your tolerance for gang signs, slam hands, 'Awwwww shit [your city]' mosh call-outs and gratuitous beatdowns is wafer thin.

Fortunately, you can relive the live glory of Despised Icon (or dance on their digital grave, whichever works for you), because their last ever show, in Montreal on December 5, 2010, was filmed in its entirety with quality superior to most £16 music DVDs. Check it out, and turn your New Era cap to a suitable hip-hop angle before tearfully burying it in the garden for a golden age of chug is now at an end.
