Biography

Morris Plains, New Jersey, United States (1997 – present)

The Dillinger Escape Plan is a band from Morris Plains, New Jersey, United States. The group originated in 1997 after the disbanding of Arcane, a hardcore punk trio consisting of Ben Weinman, Dimitri Minakakis, and Chris Pennie. The band performs a fast-tempo, technically proficient style of heavy music popularly known as mathcore. The band recorded their second EP with Relapse Records in 1998 entitled Under The Running Board. A year later, this was followed with the album Calculating Infinity, which was met with great acclaim from both underground and mainstream press. The band were renowned in the hardcore scene for the intensity of their performances, which have at times incorporated extensive light shows, fireworks, fire breathing, and other special effects.

The band’s lineup has changed over the years, in part due to a variety of injuries. Guitarist Ben Weinman and former drummer Chris Pennie have been present in many of the lineups. After the departure of vocalist Dimitri Minakakis in 2000, the band held a nationwide search and selected Greg Puciato as the new singer. The band has since released three full length albums with Puciato on vocals: 2004’s Miss Machine, 2007’s Ire Works and 2010’s Option Paralysis.

Early years (1996–1998)
The band’s beginnings can be traced back to a hardcore band called Arcane. Previous to Arcane, Adam Doll, John Fulton and Chris Pennie played together in the bands Samsara and Malfactor from 1992–1997.

    Farewell, Mona Lisa; Crossburner; Black Bubblegum; Phone Home; Fix Your Face. In that order. Farewell is near-impossible to top, by any hardcore band for that matter.

    Wow, this new album shut me right up. I did not expect to get my ass handed to me by it. But they've outdone themselves. Theirs a perfect balance of melody, flow, and brutality. 10/10

    also i wouldnt call One of Us their best record, but its way better than Option Paralysis. The album feels so cohesive, it's like one giant face-meling song with a disappointingly abrupt ending
