\u201cI think we all still feel like decimating every place we go through. We’re all pirates, man\u201d\u009d<\/em> \u201d\u201c Ben Weinman, The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist<\/p>\n

Announcing your impending break-up before releasing another album is a pretty bold move, but nothing else can be expected of this erratic mathcore band. Their sound fuses metal energy and technical skill, while their live performances take spontaneity and danger to another level.<\/p>\n

The Dillinger Escape Plan formed from the ashes of American punk band \u201d\u02dcArcane\u2019 in 1997. The line-up has shifted a little over the years, but the current members Ben Weinman, Kevin Antreassian, Liam Wilson, Greg Puciato and Billy Rymer have gained more notoriety for their violently wild shows. Even the band\u2019s name has edge. John Dillinger was a 1920\u2019s American depression-era gangster, responsible for the robbery of 24 banks and four police stations (!). As if that wasn\u2019t enough, he managed to break out of jail twice, and hid from the authorities for almost a year before being shot multiple times trying to escape. His legacy as one of the greatest outlaws is fitting for such a stage-breaking band.<\/p>\n

But after almost 20 years on the hardcore-punk scene, TDEP made the decision to disband following their final album\u2019s release on October 14th 2016 and a subsequent tour. Dissociation<\/i>, featuring their latest single \u201d\u02dcLimerent Death\u2019, is the culmination of their guitar-shredding, stage-diving and uniquely creative career. Guitarist Ben Weinman assured that \u201d\u02dc[the band] are not stopping right now because we feel incapable\u2019 but went on the explain that \u201d\u02dcin some ways we wanted to pull a Seinfeld<\/span><\/i> and go out while were still on top.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

And so after the recent release of their final album Dissociation<\/i> (which is 50 minutes worth of dark musical brilliance), it\u2019s only fitting that start back at where these five Mathcore pioneers started and revisit some highlights…<\/p>\n
