Is THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Teasing Something?

Appears to be like like The Dillinger Escape Plan founding guitarist Ben Weinman and vocalist Dimitri Minakakis are as much as one thing. Weinman posted a quick teaser on his Instagram with Minakakis largely full of laughing and goofing round, although with some singing of the “43% Burnt” riff thrown in. The Dillinger Escape Plan‘s 1999 album Calculating Infinity turns 25 in 2024, if that is even what Weinman and Minakakis are getting at.

All we all know is that we caught up with Weinman earlier this yr to debate a possible The Dillinger Escape Plan reunion present, who mentioned that a reunion with vocalist Greg Puciato wasn’t in the cards anytime soon. Whether or not or not there’s one with Minakakis stays to be seen, so who is aware of – all we have proper now’s a enjoyable little teaser for… one thing?

“The reality is that any discussions of a reunion with Greg have been shut down earlier than cash was mentioned,” mentioned Weinman partially. “There have been no concrete cash presents for a reunion with Greg – which means that the conversations have by no means gotten to cash as they’ve at all times been shut down instantly – that I or anybody on our group is conscious of.

“I believe there was some preliminary talks thrown round for us to do Furnace Fest, however our agent’s response was that we’re not entertaining reunion presents right now. The tip. I’ve been approached just a few occasions not directly by individuals who had talked to Greg whereas he was out on the highway about doing a reunion, and what was conveyed to me was that he actually wished to do it and that it must be mentioned with me.

“My response to anybody asking was that The Dillinger Escape Plan wouldn’t be performing with Greg and that we ended that chapter of the band within the acceptable manner, as everybody noticed. I would like to go away it at that. That’s actually all there may be to it. I am unsure what Greg‘s intention for releasing this information was however hey… not my monkey, not my circus as they are saying. He’s a really proficient individual and I believe the individuals on the market collaborating with him will make some superior shit. I actually cherish all the things we did and really feel extraordinarily happy with our work collectively.”
