The Dillinger Escape Plan Announce New Album and “Extended Hiatus”
Experimental metal outfit the Dillinger Escape Plan have announced a new album, Dissociation, out October 14 via Party Smashers Inc./Cooking Vinyl America. Among the producers who worked on the album was Converge’s Kurt Ballou, who mixed it at GodCity in Boston. Along with the announcement, the band have shared the record’s first single, “Limerent Death.” In a press release, guitarist Ben Weinman called the track one of his “all-time favorite DEP songs.” Stream it below. Scroll down for the Dissociation tracklist and cover art, as well as TDEP’s upcoming tour schedule.
In the same press release, the band–which formed in 1997–announced that Dissociation is “potentially” their last release before they go on an “extended hiatus” when they finish touring. In a new interview with Noisey, Weinman (who is an original member of the band) elaborated on the decision. He said, “I think in some ways we wanted to pull a ‘Seinfeld’ and go out while we’re still on top.” Weinman also discussed the new supergroup he’s in, Giraffe Tongue Orchestra. He indicated that he doesn’t plan on replacing the Dillinger Escape Plan with the new project, but wants to try something new. Read the full interview here.
