From The Archive

The discovery of a new band is always exciting. Will it be something you’ve heard countless times? An experience that leaves a bad taste in your mouth? Or is it a treat from which you cannot stop consuming? I wanted to take a trip back in time to reminisce about bands/albums that not only introduced me to heavy music, but kept me coming back for more…

DEP-Patton - Irony Is A Dead Scene

The last time I spoke about these guys was back in November of 2010, where I discussed my love for their self-titled EP. Now I must return to this band of mischief makers simply because they are not only a gnarly band, but for a short period of time, combined their forces with one of the most legendary voices in music history. The sheer manic nature of both these parties coming together and making music is simply a treat for ones ears and mind. They only released an EP, but the 4 tracks contained within were enough to create an everlasting impact…

Ben Wienman Makes Bring Me The Horizon Less Dreadful

Jan.11, 2010

Axl from Metalsucks posted this video today of Dillinger Escape Plan mastermind Ben Weinman‘s remix of some Bring Me The Horizon song. The first minute or so is BMTH’s original, but from there on after is some crazy awesome IDM cut up with samples from the song. Sounds like Aphex Twin on a good day. Most definitely an improvement. But if you’re Ben Weinman, that’s easy to do.

Speaking of Aphex Twin and Dillinger, here’s DEP’s cover of Aphex Twin’s “Come To Daddy” with Mike Patton from 2002′s Irony Is A Dead Scene, set to the original Aphex video.

There needs to be more mathcore covers of IDM songs.

Farewell, Mona Lisa

Filed Under: Uncategorized

Dec.28, 2009

Farewell, Mona Lisa, the new single from Dillinger Escape Plan off of their upcoming album Option Paralysis surfaced this weekend. One gracious fan from the official DEP forums recorded the song’s debut from Sirius’ Liquid Metal and uploaded it for all to hear. The quality is pretty low, but it’s good enough to hear what’s going on. Thank you, kind stranger.

Mitch says it sounds like Ire Works and was unimpressed. I, however, am happy to hear some more of the general Pattony weirdness from Irony Is A Dead Scene thrown in. But he was right, it sounds sort of like Ire Works material. But to me, that’s not such a bad thing. Ire Works is a masterpiece. Option Paralysis is said to be the longest DEP album to date at around 45 minutes, so there’s room for more Dillinger zaniness to unfold.

Option Paralysis will no doubt be one of the best albums to come out next year. It comes out March 23.
