The Dillinger Escape Plan’s creative energy and unwavering artistic commitment has reverberated through underground subculture and in tastemaker circles alike for over a decade. Fierce independence, staunch individualism and unique vision guides the band onstage and off. Mindboggling chemical permutations and dense atmospheric radicalism are their stock and trade; musical Molotov cocktails against mediocrity.
Critics declared them “leaders in a genre of precisely one” (Metal Hammer); “enduringly peerless” (Rock Sound); “as urgent as ever” (AP); “operating at the peak of their powers” (Kerrang!); “[every album] a carefully calculated masterpiece” (Metal Injection). Big Cheese called TDEP’s most recent album “a masterpiece in the art of heavy rock music” and Terrorizer emphasized TDEP’s “greatness” in a cover story.
Each performer in the collective has few rivals in their field. Band founder Ben Weinman is one of Guitar World's Top 25 Cult Guitarists and has collaborated as musician, remixer and producer with Kimbra, Wyclef Jean, Bring Me The Horizon and Lil’ Wayne, among others. Metal Sucks proclaimed Greg Puciato the Top Modern Metal Frontman. Liam Wilson’s rich life experiences and shaman-like wanderings only enhance his mesmerizing, dynamic performances. Billy Rymer irrefutably commands the past, present and future of TDEP’s percussion position.
The shock and awe of the band’s performances have won a reputation as arguably the most dangerous heavy music band on the planet. Kerrang! awarded the band’s most recent sold-out show in London a KKKKK review. They are veterans of the world’s most prestigious festivals, from Coachella to Reading Leeds, and have toured with hard music giants like Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden and System Of A Down.
