THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN

The Dillinger Escape Plan released their self-titled debut EP in 1997, and this release offers the very first glimpse into the harsh, dissonant and abrasive sound of the American mathcore band, here developing a style that would be refined later on, still reliant much more on shock value as well as intensity and aggression, not necessarily exhibiting that sense of complexity that would go on to render the band's debut album such a highly praised work. The six tracks comprising this EP stylistically offer a range of brutal riffs and dynamic tempo changes as well as a very distorted way of writing, definitely capturing the trials of a young band still searching for their sound. Reissue also include three live tracks from that same early period with vocalist Dimitri Minakakis, whose harsh vocals seem to be really suitable for the destructive nature of the first few DEP releases and sonic ventures.
