Blabbermouth is reporting that
Dillinger Escape Plan has begun work on their fifth studio album. Guitarist Ben Weinman comments:
"Billy [Rymer, drums] and I have been locked up in the DILLINGER compound and things are starting to boil. [...] There is nothing like that feeling when you realize... Yep, just when I thought I was drained, the juices are back in full force! The neighbors are definitely getting pissed, but we couldn't be more excited."
The band is also heading out on a string of UK dates in February with
Mastodon and
Red Fang, followed by Soundwave Festival in Australia. Dillinger Escape Plan released their last full-length,
Option Paralysis, in 2010.
Jeff has a band called Old Gods who have been playing shows here in Detroit that are amazing. First band where he has sang without playing guitar. Also worth checking out both Capture The Flag and Heads Will Roll (2 of his bands before joining Dillinger)
