The DillingerEscapePlan is a mathcore band that integrates metalcore with jazz/fusion elements.
DillingerEscapePlan gained notoriety in the hardcore scene for the intensity of their performances, and it was this notoriety that garnered the attention of Relapse Records representatives, who attended one of the band's shows in Pennsylvania, which ultimately resulted in the signing of a multi-record deal.
In late 2001, DillingerEscapePlan met with Greg Puciato, one of many would-be vocalists who had submitted a recording to the band, a version of "43% Burnt" in the style of the recording on Calculating Infinity, plus the same song recorded with Puciato's own spin on the song, different to the traditional Dillinger version.
On an album chock full of jazzy breakdowns, and the serrated dual guitar attack from Ben Weinman and Brian Benoit, DillingerEscapePlan is not the metal that used to reside the tape deck of your older brothers car.
DillingerEscapePlan shake out their old-school jitters as bassist Liam Wilson gives his grooves a go with a twist of the antisocial, troublemaking, skatepunk/hardcore licks reminiscent of Black Flag circa 1981 on Highway Robbery.
DillingerEscapePlan has done nothing short of starting a revolution that now officially makes todays metal, music for the thinking man. With that being said, they are the best thing to come out of New Jersey since Campbells Chunky Soup.
