A creation merging new-school hardcore, progressive metal, and free-jazz, the furious din of The Dillinger Escape Plan is the perfect embodiment of intensity, cathartic rage, urgency, and forward thinking. Given their abilities and relative youth, it's not out of the question to believe that something this intricate and focused could develop into a paradigm to be followed, a yardstick by which other bands are measured.
Their latest album, Miss Machine, further defines what many in the Bay thought was dead, Fast-core champions Dillinger conquer the medium and destroy any notions that they may have been just a side band. Starting out a new approach in 2002, with Mike Patton to direct this yet under discovered mayhem, they managed to resurface as the most solid and refined sound-scientists in their league. So now Miss Machine pops up much later, without Patton.
"... The industrial rock is unapologetically taking over whole tracks; the jazz and Latin accents are extending further and deeper than just five-second breaks; and the death metal, if it's there at all, is turning that genre into equations that'd stump an MIT professor."
As kings on top of the mountain they stay, and they've returned to Slim's to prove it.
