Browsing: The Dillinger Escape Plan

Coverage of The Dillinger Escape Plan, the mathcore pioneers known for their chaotic energy, genre-defying sound, and cult legacy.

The Dillinger Escape Plan will release a newly remastered edition of their 1997 self-titled EP on limited purple cassette and digital platforms November 13. The release arrives as the band wraps up its ongoing ‘Calculating Infinity’ anniversary celebration, with physical copies available at select shows before the online launch.

Decibel Books will publish ‘Deconstructing Towers: The Story Of Hydra Head Records’ in December. Written by Shane Mehling, the 500-plus-page book chronicles the influential label founded by Aaron Turner, featuring interviews, rare photographs, and new cover artwork by Turner, with stories involving bands including Isis, Cave In, Converge, Botch, and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

The Dillinger Escape Plan and Nora’s 1998 split EP is finally getting its first vinyl release, nearly three decades after the original CD-only release. Two limited variants are planned: a half-gray, half-pink edition available in person at The Dillinger Escape Plan’s October shows and an orange-and-black splatter version through Ferret Music. The release coincides with the band’s final ‘Calculating Infinity’ anniversary dates, bringing their extended celebration of the influential mathcore album to a close.
