What does /mu/ think of The Dillinger Escape Plan?
never heard them
probably the best mathcore/ post-hardcore band out. Love the album they did with Mike Patton, its fantastic. I also saw them last time they were in Melbourne - great show, so much energy

One of the first mathcore bands. They're a bit of a mix of avant-garde, alternative, and scatty progressive metal. Basically Faith No More on crack.

They're one of the three bands in the Holy Mathcore Trinity so yeah, they're fucking awesome
>>63246574
What would the other two in the Trinity be?
Converge and Botch?
Probably the best live band I've seen. I like them a lot, despite having not yet listened to a lot of their middle period stuff. Super influential on the high pitched dissonant breakdown obsessed later mathcore bands.

OP here. Thoughts on Psyopus?
>>63246636
Psyopus is my favorite "mathcore" band. (As a side note, Arpmandude
Also used "avant-grind" to describe his music in his tab book, which I like as a descriptor)
This right here is the only thing I've heard that rivals our puzzling encounters considered in its specific emotion, to me. I actually recommended psyopus to someone earlier on here.

Exactly on point
>>63246636
Good shit
Calculating Infinity is da shit. It's their best album, angry, but jazzy at the same time.

Extremely overlooked mathcore
>>63246636
Not a fan desu. I feel like the aggression Psyopus brings is kind of hamfisted.
>>63246771
Understandable. They scratch a sort of ear-bleeding guitar wankery itch for me rather than the aggression I go to Dillinger for.

GG Allin rubbed shit on himself first

Every Time I Die was "Hot Topic popular" like 5 years ago. I'm just saying that in case you didn't know, not to try to discredit them. I bought the first BTBAM parallax EP at hot topic. No shame (is what I'll keep telling myself).
>>63246771
Psyopus doesn't make me feel aggressive, or "agressed upon" (^_~~~~]]]]#££€) It's more of an uncomfortable, tense anxiety and catharsis. Their music has a lot of very quick tension-and-releases that I really love, that I think are easy to miss, but I really think they're an important element to what they do. I'd compare listening to psyopus to being covered in mosquito bites while you're trying to work, but you keep having to scratch yourself, and you get more and more pissed and eventually end up breaking the bites and covered in blood.
And it's also just incredible entertaining and eventful music without falling into the trap of becoming a mesh of low register burble like a lot of tech death.
>>63246865
I meant "incredibly". I should note that I only ever listen to our puzzling encounters considered though, after I listened to their albums and judged that one to be the best.
>>63246498
/mu/ thinks you need to be 18 to post op
>>63246723
its not their best i don't think you've listened to their later stuff
