Dead Icarus has just dropped their debut album, “Zealot,” alongside a music video for the title track. Directed by David Brodsky, known for his work with bands like Cattle Decapitation and The Black Dahlia Murder, this latest video brings a visually intense accompaniment to the album’s heavy sound.
The band Dead Icarus brings together notable talents from the metalcore and deathcore scenes, including former Atreyu vocalist Alex Varkatzas, guitarist Gabe Mangold from Enterprise Earth, and drummer Brandon Zackey from Whitechapel. In describing the album, the band shared:
“Zealot is the product of our deep and uncompromising passion. Our goal was to create a layered and dynamic record that combines everything we love about music. It’s intense, melodic, angry, hopeful—with powerful riffs and memorable hooks. But above all, it’s honest and straight from our hearts, uninfluenced by anything outside of us. We hope you feel a connection to the music and enjoy it as much as we do.”
