The Dillinger Escape Plan
Formed in Morris Plains, New Jersey, in 1997, The Dillinger Escape Plan are widely credited with defining mathcore as a genre, their 1999 debut Calculating Infinity establishing a template of ferocious rhythmic complexity, dissonance, odd time signatures, and barely controlled live violence that influenced an entire generation of extreme music. Across six studio albums — including Ire Works (2007) and One of Us Is the Butcher (2016) — the band progressively incorporated melody, electronics, and jazz-influenced experimentation without surrendering the underlying aggression. They disbanded in December 2017 after a farewell run of shows, leaving behind one of the most uncompromising and influential catalogs in 21st-century heavy music.
