Mathcore act The Dillinger Escape Plan have issued an update on their next full-length. The band is currently wrapping up writing and pre-production on the new album, and is planning to enter the studio in November with producer Steve Evettes. Guitarist Ben Weinman said of the album:

This new material is very punk, very hardcore influenced. Maybe it's all the amazing bands reuniting from my youth that is inspiring this. Billy and I have just been listening to old hardcore records blasting through my house and then going down to the dungeon and just bashing. Greg [Puciato] also seems to be in a very dark place lyrically. I think it's going to be pretty creepy. If these songs don't put some holes in the wall I don't know what will.

The band's most recent release, Option Paralysis, came out in 2010.

first....
O.P. was good/kinda meh. Looking forward to this for sure.

I will look it up when it comes out.

Hope there's some killer tracks about Whey protein and fucking pornstars.

Isn't Good Neighbor about tripping on shrooms and getting naked in the street?

Color me cautiously optimistic. Hopefully nothing like "Black Bubblegum" and "Gold Teeth on a Bum" make it onto this one.

i hope there are a few like that. calculating infinity is great and all, but it doesn't have the same ebb and flow that their later releases have. i like a bit of variety. i also like faith no more, and especially enjoy when DEP start channeling that influence.

that said, the hardcore/creepy sound they're talking about seems interesting...

1 hour of power chords and 4/4 time.

Don't for get the breakdown beats.

Never really got into the last album... loved the previous ones but OP had something about it that i just couldn't dig. Hardly ever gets a spin so hopefully this new one will be back on track.

That singer, much like Jeopardy's Alex Trebek is liable to go to commercial and punch your mouth f**king loose!*

How neat.

Rodeo (October 1, 2012)

They heard the Peace'd Out record and were like "Oh Shit."

Hopefully this means they'll be able to get over Patton and stop trying to make a faith no more record.
