Sa pravdepodobne rozpadnú. Kapela zverejnila na svojom blogu nasledujúci oznam, podľa ktorého sa chcú jej členovia radšej venovať pracovnému a rodinnému životu. Oznam však medzičasom odstránila. Zvláštne.

"The time has come for us to move on. Some of us have recently reached a new chapter in their lives, starting families, buying houses and pursuing other careers to make it all happen. Writing music, touring and leaving home for months at a time is slowly becoming impossible because of that. We all decided that it"d be best to pull the plug now and end things right.

"It"s hard to believe we started this band almost 10 years ago already. At first, DESPISED ICON was mostly just an excuse to hang out, write brutal slam riffs and play local shows once in a while.
