Des riffs et des blast rapides et techniques qui laissent une place aux expérimentations électroniques ou jazzy et aux mélodies pop, des textes mystérieux, un chanteur à la voix surpuissante. Bienvenue dans le monde de The Dillinger Escape Plan. Si le groupe du New Jersey existe depuis la fin des années 90, son line-up a changé régulièrement, et sa musique a constamment évolué sans pour autant trahir son esprit originel. Il était de passage à la Dynamo de Toulouse le 26 septembre 2013. Rencontre avec Ben Weinman, un des fondateurs et guitaristes du groupe, et Liam Wilson, bassiste.
