DESPISED ICON Discuss the Title Track "Purgartory"

Today, Alex Erian discuses the first single and title track, "Purgatory". Watch as he discuses what the title track means to him as well as what the process was like for him and Eric Jarrin to create the epic breakdown, here: youtu.be/j63mDe7bkw0

Alex Erian comments, "I keep repeating this but we do not encourage violence at shows but I have this feeling there will be a couple injuries during the breakdown live. So I apologize in advance. Please be good to yourselves but expect some pure brutality.:"
