The Dillinger Escape Plan, Manchester Academy 2 January 20th 2017 – Live Review

After becoming the defining band of the mathcore genre with 1999 debut ‘Calculating Infinity’, Dillinger have taken their template, made by face-melting technique, bone-crushing aggression as well as mad-scientist insanity, and woven many different styles into their sound over the years. There’s been jazz technique, pop melody, electronic overtones, classical grandeurs and their most recent record ‘Dissociation’ saw them being more adventurous than ever and displaying their maximum potential.
