DESPISED ICON Return With Devastating New Single ‘Over My Dead Body’ Featuring Matt Honeycutt of KUBLAI KHAN TX


Canadian deathcore trailblazers DESPISED ICON erupt with full force on their latest single ‘Over My Dead Body’, featuring a crushing guest appearance from Matt Honeycutt of KUBLAI KHAN TX. The track delivers a relentless barrage of groove-laden riffs, throat-shredding vocals, and breakdowns designed to level stages and stir chaos in the pit.

The hard-hitting track is taken from the band’s long-awaited seventh studio album Shadow Work, set for release on October 31, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. Known for pioneering the dual-vocal deathcore style, DESPISED ICON continue to evolve while staying rooted in the raw aggression that earned them global respect. ‘Over My Dead Body’ fuses their technical brutality with Matt Honeycutt’s hardcore firepower, making for a punishing collaboration that bridges scenes and generations of heaviness.

This new single marks a significant moment as DESPISED ICON prepare to usher in a darker, more refined era. With sharpened songwriting and renewed intensity, the band proves they’re not just staying relevant — they’re still setting the bar for the genre they helped define.

‘Over My Dead Body’ is now available on all major streaming platforms. With one of the most vicious vocal pairings of the year, DESPISED ICON and Matt Honeycutt deliver an anthem of defiance that hits with the weight of a decade’s worth of fury — and the promise of more devastation to come on Shadow Work.
