Destro's Secret
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Calculating Infinity

And now i'll hang my skin, this skin.
Transparent words of sin, my love so sweet.
Your name looks so good distorted like that.
Scrape off some skin, revealing crud, an hour
Before dark i'm walking through the rain and
Scratching on her window screen. i've come to
Cut cupid's heart out. i've come to take your
Breath away. break the door down. knock
The door down. angel i can't let you in.
Sundripped devil scratched out my eyes.

This may sound strange, but that kind of is the point. This music represents (to me) pure and uncompromised chaos which comes from the speed, the stress on dissonance (I don't understand how they do it but it clearly is all very dissonant) and the vocalist's screams (and it's actually very demanding technically to scream like that if you don't want to fuck up your voice) creates an atmosphere of chaos and destruction which is just priceless...for me. To each his own.

@johndillinger1932 wow, thats just wild.. interesting. I know Brann Dailor from Mastodon started off playing drums trying to keep up with the guitarist in his band lol.. I saw him in an interview say that. He just tried to play drums like a guitarist would play. So interesting how those two instruments/musicians intertwine so much

[johndillinger1932]

@nashvegas20 it also happens to be the way Thomas Erak from The Fall of Troy writes guitar...but then again he is a drummer and has only been playing guitar for about 11 years....though when he does play guitar god damn if it isnt intense

[nashvegas20]

@johndillinger1932 Odd.. because thats exactly what Kurt from Converge said! He said he actually wishes he was a drummer.. and plays guitar like as if he was writing drum tracks. I think I read that in a Decibel magazine interview or somewhere. but yeah, thats crazy ben said the same thing... might be an interesting way to think if writing good intricate guitar riffs haha

@Altairograph Sire, first of all, you have my respect for not being a troll against me. Second, good sources about serialism? Studying pieces of serial composers, reading Wikipedia articles (trust me, they have some useful lines every now and then), reading books about it, or even articles, like Pierre Boulez wrote some (even though he is really rude, imposing and close-minded, but still a good source).

PM me for anything.

Peace Out.

[Altairograph]

@EmptyKingdoms Do you know any good sources to learn about serialism (assuming you're talking about atonality?)?

Thank you for this comment, I haven't listened to Dillinger in ages and listening again made me appreciate how amazing they are.

[EmptyKingdoms]

@Altairograph Maybe really compromised, since some of their songs make partial usage, when not complete usage, of serialism.

BUT... This is hatred at it's best expression through art. What I would define as the modern representation of expressionism.

Peace out.

Ben has stated more than once that he approaches writing for guitar as he would writing for drums...which explains why DEPs guitars are "punchy"..plus everything is in E...

@discofishing What you listen to on the radio isn't rap.

To truly appreciate Dillinger you have to be sitting alone in a room with a good set of headphones and just listen, then you slowly realise how fucking awesome it is !
