The Dillinger Escape Plan

Musical Group

American mathcore band formed in New Jersey in the late 1990s, known for technically complex, chaotic compositions and incendiary live performances; Ben Weinman is the founding guitarist and long-time driving force.

Formed in New Jersey in 1997 and active until 2017. Founding member Ben Weinman. Collaborated with Mike Patton on the 2002 EP Irony Is a Dead Scene. Widely noted for virtuosic, dissonant mathcore, frequent time-signature shifts, and a reputation for intense live shows.

DeBaser reviews present The Dillinger Escape Plan as pioneering, technically ferocious mathcore innovators. Critics praise their experimental albums, intense live shows and the Mike Patton collaboration. Later releases such as One Of Us Is The Killer and Dissociation are framed as mature. The band’s energetic live reputation and eventual disbandment are recurring themes.

For:Fans of mathcore, experimental metal, intense live performances and music critics.

 I bought this album without knowing what I was getting into... I had never listened to the band before (nor especially ANYTHING LIKE IT!), I purchased it solely driven by the reputation it had.

 "We're in Europe, it's great as always. Vienna and Zurich were great, but Milan, holy fuck, Milan, absolutely amazing show. We hadn't played there in almost eight years or so and it was absolutely incredible. We won't take so long next time."
