They might've only just finished touring the UK in support of Mastodon , but it seems The Dillinger Escape Plan already look set to be making a return to our shores sooner rather than later. We've just spied this date - 26 April 2012 - as a scheduled Dillinger Escape Plan show over on The Highbury Garage's website, even though there's not been an official announcement anywhere else yet. Tickets go on sale on 15 February, i.e., on Wednesday. You better believe we're going to be at the head of queue. We'll have more dates and [...]

...they've just released a new video, this time for 'Parasitic Twins' , the atmospheric closing track to the magnificent Option Paralysis . You can check it out after the jump. It's an interesting choice of single, given that main vocal duties on the track is shared by Dillinger's second guitarist, Jeff Tuttle, rather than just being handled the band's regular frontman, Greg Puciato . Tuttle, of course, also happens to be the lead vocalist in Old Gods , his LOUD AS ALL HELL side-project who we [...]
We've said it before, and we'll say it again - as far as touring line-ups go, the combination of Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Red Fang has set the bar for 2012. Given that Mastodon put out the Thrash Hits Album of 2011 , The Dillinger Escape Plan put out the Thrash Hits album of 2010 , and Red Fang are one of our favourite up'n'coming crushers, it's gonna take one heck of a tour to top this. When the tour arrived in Manchester, our man [...]
Spencer Krug frees himself to make new artistic choices with his ever-changing project, Moonface. By Bryan C. Reed If Spencer Krug is known for anything, it's his activity. Since 2005, not a year has passed without at least one new album from at least one of his many bands. Krug entered the collective consciousness first as [...]
Getting into the studio to record an album should be a pretty exciting time for any young band. However, this process is replete with numerous pitfalls, challenges, and - as demonstrated in the video above - options. The subject, Former Thieves, play hardcore in an angular and perpetually irate manner, leveraging hooks and shouts in [...]

What a year it's been so far for The Dillinger Escape Plan . They released Option Paralysis on their brand-new indie label, Party Smasher, and the album has impressed fans and critics alike. Another meditation on their heady blend of mathcore, their latest is heavy, complex and cathartic—basically everything you'd expect from a new DEP release. After a string of sold-out club dates in Europe, the band played Coachella and are featured on the Warped Tour kicking off on June 24th in San Diego, CA. Before our favorite Jersey [...]
It's alive. And it will kill you.
The winner of Beard of the Weeks should come as no surprise. We've been holding back our admiration for this American example of all that is good and proper regarding facial hair for some time now, and this week has given us the perfect excuse to finally let it all out. Considering this week we've featured intervews (plural!) with [...]
After our 'proper' edition of Thrash Hits TV with The Dillinger Escape Plan where we chatted solely about their new album, Option Paralysis and related goings on, we only thought it fair to ask them really stupid stuff as well. Thankfully, we asked you guys what you wanted to know. This guaranteed that we asked [...]
The Dillinger Escape Plan Option Paralysis Party Smasher Inc 22 March 2010 by Raziq Rauf For over a decade now, The Dillinger Escape Plan have been synonymous with thoughts of dizzying time signatures and seemingly superfluous technicalities rightly associated with mathcore. However, those who persevered with melted minds duly found comforting interjections of melody and sensitivity that served to soothe [...]
Back in February 2010 we went down to Camden Barfly to watch The Dillinger Escape Plan ruin our bodies, minds and hearing with not just one show, BUT TWO. In between them, we thought it would be nice to sit down and have a chat about their amazing new album, Option Paralysis. You'll probably be able [...]

Tosto, potente, inarrestabile, violento... in poche parole un pugno in faccia. Ma dopo tutto difficile aspettarsi qualcosa di diverso: questo è il nuovo singolo dei The Dillinger Escape Plan . Il gruppo americano d'altronde ci ha abituato a certe sonorità all'interno dei loro tre precedenti album (tutti e tre decisamente validi). Il nuovo disco della band si intitola "Option Paralysis" e uscirà il 23 Marzo per la Season of Mist.

And now for something completely different. The Dillinger Escape Plan just released a video for "Farewell, Mona Lisa," the first single off of its upcoming album, Option Paralysis . To put it simply, this is pure, unadulterated chaos. If you thought Dillinger was holding back with its choices for singles off Ire Works (" Milk Lizard ," " Black Bubblegum "), then "Farewell..." should be to your liking. It's also good to hear that new drummer Billy Rymer is more than capable of assuming his duties behind the kit. Chris Pennie who? MP3: [...]
The first video from the new Dillinger Escape Plan Record Option Paralysis. This song shreds.
The box set is an online exclusive that is limited to 2000 copies, with some of the most bizarre extras that I have ever seen. TV-B-Gone? This is stepping into Weezer territory now by including an AS SEEN ON TV item in their merch repertoire . Regardless the artwork on the box [...]
