This week's music news



The hardcore-mathrockers Dillinger Escape Plan will be releasing their 4th album Option Paralysis on March 23, 2010 which coincides with their 10 year relationship with Relapse Records.

The band has been through all sorts of ups and downs since 1999. Bassist Adam Doll was paralysed from a car crash during the 1st album, vocalist Dimitri Minakakis left the band after the 2nd album, guitarist Benoit couldn't play anymore due to nerve damage in his hand, and if all that wasn't enough, guitarist Weinman briefly left the band and Chris Penine left the band for Coheed and Cambria and so Dillinger Escape Plan had no drummer just before the 3rd album release.

But despite all this Faith No More's Mike Patton asked them to come on tour with his project Mr Bungle and was the vocalist for the band for Irony Is A Dead scene EP.
