1) A deathcore band from Perth, Western Australia, Iconoclast play energetic, technically proficient, politically charged deathcore with a fresh approach that stands out from the overused blastbeat/breakdown formula. While both of those elements are still present, Iconoclast strive to incorporate new concepts to their sound, taking influence from Groove Metal bands from the 90's to the recent 'djent' movement. Formed in 2012, they released their Debut EP "Autonomist" on 21 December 2012 + a music video for their single "Seditionist" in July 2013, both to critical acclaim. They are currently in pre-production for their eagerly awaited debut full length to be released in 2014.
2) Name of the second incarnation of the 70's Dutch punk rockers The Mollesters, in use since 2012. They have stated: We, Iconoclast, were not looking for an original band name as a matter of fact.

Medicine
Iconoclast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In "Medicine," Iconoclast is using medical metaphors to paint a picture of our society's ills. The first line, "Where's my immunization shot?" suggests that there is a need for a cure or preventative measure for the sickness that plagues us. The line "I'm sick and I'm dying" speaks to a sense of helplessness and despair, and the repetition of "I need resuscitation" emphasizes the urgency of the situation.
The second half of the verse suggests that the source of the sickness may have been passed down from a previous generation, while the line "atrophy's damage is done" speaks to irreparable harm done to individuals and society. The final line, "the only shot that can cure is from a gun," can be read in different ways, but at its core, it suggests that there is a need for radical action to address the problems we face.

Managed to snag the S/T and the Groundlessness of Belief releases from random record shops in Seattle. Would be great if I could snap up those two splits to round out the discography. Cool band!
