The Dillinger Escape Plan Writing New Album
The Dillinger Escape Plan have been at work writing material for a new album, a follow-up to 2010’s Option Paralysis.
“Ben [Weinman] and Billy [Rymer] working on new DEP in the dressing room,” frontman Greg Puciato commented via Twitter. “After ten years it still makes my heartrate go up to hear new DEP ideas forming.”
Puciato added, “We have no intention of writing a ‘better’ Option Paralysis. We’re gonna unleash a whole ‘nother beast that lives on it’s own.”
The Dillinger Escape Plan were joined onstage by former guitarist Brian Benoit (Jesuit) for the song “43% Burnt” during their set last night in Norfolk, Virginia. Rough video footage is below.
The performance marks the first time Benoit has appeared onstage with the band since 2005.
In late 2004, Benoit reportedly suffered nerve damage in his left hand preventing him from performing live regularly.
The Dillinger Escape Plan were joined onstage by former frontman/current Argonauts vocalist Dimitri Minakakis in New York City at Terminal 5 on Saturday. Video footage is below (skip to 5:30).
The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman will be spending today working on Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, the collaboration with Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds.
“So about G.T.O (Giraffe Tongue Orchestra), Brent and I have already got new material,” Weinman commented on the band’s official website. “The guy just spits out riffs like a riff machine…we shall be working all day on sweet sweet melodies sure to make the young girls cry and the old one scream (not necessarily in that order).”
The project is also expected to feature former Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery and ex-The Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen.
