Background

edit

Montreal Assault features the band performing on June 5, 2008 at Club Soda in their hometown, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The show was filmed by David Brodsky with sound produced by Yannick St-Amand, Despised Icon's former guitarist.[1] The DVD also features an hour-long documentary by Reconstructed Media that retraces the band's career, showing never-before-released footage.

Vocalist Alexandre Erian stated:

The live mix sounds so massive. It was done by none other than our former guitarist Yannick St-Amand. You can even listen to it in 5.1 Surround. Our buddy Felix also created some of his sickest artwork yet. The shooting and editing of the show went awesome. David Brodsky and his team captured tons of adrenaline-packed moments."[2]
