Dillinger Escape Plan Announces New Album and Tour Dates

An intense band known for an even more intense (intenser?) live act, The Dillinger Escape Plan have announced that they've recently finished the recording their album, Option Paralysis and will be releasing it as the debut release for their label Party Smasher Inc/Season of Mist. The album will be officially available on March 23, 2010.

During the production of the album, the band has been releasing updates and musical snippets on their MySpace site, so you can get a feeling of what you're in for.

The band will also be taking their act on the road in December, giving fans a preview of what they can expect on the new release.

If you've not been to a Dillinger show before, this isn't one to miss, and you're going to need to keep your eyes on the stage at all times in order to ensure maximum enjoyment, and safety, as events like this performance at the Virgin Megastore in 2005 are the rule at a Dillinger show, not the exception.
