Iconicide

ICONICIDE are a NYC based band whose sound has ranged from sludgy political dirges to blazing fast thrash, from toe tapping street punk to a lethal mix of dub reggae and death metal. Underlying it all has been what spurred frontman Chris (the Antimessiah) to start the band back in 1988: the stripped down, no nonsense, rip out your guts sound of Early 80s New York Hardcore. Lyrically ICONICIDE are just as uncompromising. Songs advocating human extinction (Voluntary Human Extinction MovemenT) coexist with assaults on militarism and power for power's sake (Fuck It), along with the requisite anti religious barrages (Whoreship, Benediction/Malediction, etcoetera). In their long, checkered history, ICONICIDE have touched the fates of a long list of bands, including Armageddon, Artless, Christrape, Revoltage, Under Empire, Speed Assault, No Commercial Value, Dedeth, Disassociate , Sinner Steel, Chain Angel, The Og Ogs, Sisters Grimm , Psycho Sin, Sand In The Face, Niblick Henbane , Slow Children, Genocide, Ardwolf, Warzone, The Murder Junkies, Abusement Park, Children Of The Night, Urgent Fury, Sic Fucks, The Sex Rays, Demo Moe , Death Mold Ff, Public Nuisance, Action Swingers, Porno Dracula, Holy Crow, God’s Crotch, Purple Wizard, Wizard’s Beard, Prissteens, Mother Jugs And Speed, Gossamer Phantom, Hammerbrain, Pig Pen, Knockout James, Old Rugged Sauce, Iron Poodle, Fluffy, Ed Gein’s Car, The Myrmidons, White Clam, Fascist Pussycat: Kill!
