The Dillinger Escape Plan - 'Prancer (Live at Arctangent Festival)' 

Oh the accuracy

They don't rehearse, they have ascended

DEP is just another band I can't seem to get enough of. Took me a while to get into each album they put out but they're one of the bands that are worth a couple more listens. That's how I know I'm gonna love a band more than any other, as a matter of fact. Same thing happened when I first listened to Deafheaven's "Sunbather", Elder's "Lore", Cult Leader's "Lightless Walk" and so on and so forth, but now I'm a huge fan of these bands (yep I know, not the same type of agressive music :D )

thanks for the suggestions! for heavy ones id suggest seeyouspacecowboy's first two albums (they might have only done 2 so far but considering this video is 4 years old im futureproofing) and Fear Before The March Of Flames (iirc they have changed the name to Fear Before and are leaning more towards their emo sound)

Yeah that’s the thing about dep. You definitely have to give them a few chances. Their music is wild and different, it’s a far cry from typical rock or metal, and if you don’t go in with that mindset, you’ll probably be very taken back by it. That being said, once you listen to them a few times, it all starts to come together. They’re honestly geniuses and probably imo one of the greatest bands of all time, even though they’re a very niche style.

I felt the same with neurosis locust star, first you say wtf then you just love it

Gil was my favorite

DtC but Dillinger is basicly the only band within their scene...

@Laust that's immensely false

Only because Penny laid the tracks...

Prince Ikel lol this is from One Of Us Is The Killer and Chris Pennie certainly did not track or write the drums for that. He hasn't "laid down" the tracks for Dillinger since Ire Works

And whoever was running lights

It's great hearing bass in a Extreme Metal context. It's almost always buried regardless of genre

It is entirely true but I give you a down vote because I am reminded of this fact as well...

wait are they done ?

they are unique hiw the hell they done , they have their own game

Alex Sternberg me too Been listening to them for years but never saw them live👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

@@marcotejada1498 Also ... any videos you see really don't do their live shows any justice. Best band ever.

- my thoughts after their performance in europe, 2015

Wojciech Kopański definitely the most intense set, and from what I've seen they're flat out with consistency at every gig

+Wojciech Kopański A ten chuj z roku na rok głos ma coraz lepszy .

Love the profile pic, bro! :)

first time of the few times i ever did acid was seeing Dillinger live for the first time and with with Greg screaming in my face at one point, it was a nice experience

I must have seen the same tour - caught them at COTA several years back and they opened at 7pm in broad daylight while the place was 80% empty and everyone was just getting beers and talking. Of course they rocked the place, they never don't, but it was just such a huge waste of talent

@@TroyWarr1980 Yeah it was summer 2014 and yeah it was a real waste, but at least I got to see them and it so nice seeing them with that little of a crowd.

I saw them open for Soundgarden(2nd to last show before Chris passed) and I’m pretty sure I was the only one there that was enjoying it lol.

43'rd like heh

Thank you for making me do the chuckle

Most bands like this use voice distortion...including DEP

@@smackthatfemale They clearly dont, and a minor bands do.

If it hurts your throat to sing, you're doing it wrong. I bet this singers throat feels just fine. Singing in this style is a technique that takes time and practice to do properly.

Yeah no distortion over here. And yeah man shit does hurt my chords just listening but its gold

My ears hurt.. Greg is a terrible singer... vocalist.. or w/e you want to call his style. No matter how hard I tryed to make myself like this band, he is what ruined it for me lol.

Fuck yeah!

fuck yeah . 0:49

Right? It's insane. Watch their video from Hellfest 2003. When you see these guys live, you should probably stay a good 30' from the stage unless you want a headstock or a boot to the face.

Saw them live, right up front. Caught Ben's ass with my head. Magic night.

April 2024, New York, reunion show w/Dimitri on vocals, playing Calculating Infinity

2:52 to 3:06 OMFG Ben

So a metal show?? lol

it was a nice kick, though

Big same brother!

@Guilherme Teixeira, Ha ha. Brilliant! We know who'll play him if a film gets made, eh?

@@paulgreen2401 Absolutely

lol

They're like an incredibly chaotic and harsh punk band.

@Samuel Noble, True. Dillinger's barrage is a result of tightness, surprise, and dissonance, with ferocious vocals snarling around the sharp hail. Like Nine Inch Nails, they knew how to temper an abrasive sound for maximum impact.

Shut up

just wanna chime in and say yeah they play most of their songs in standard. good neighbour being the only one i know in drop d off the top of my head. more frantic than heavy :D

I always considered them to be a Hardcore band which is a mixture of Metal and Punk. They even started their career within that scene to later become their own entity. Though I would still say they stayed true to those roots by keeping that violent and chaotic energy alive. If you are into that type of sound, you will definitely find more similar sounding bands within Hardcore. However it is such broad genre, for example both Turnstile and Vein.fm are considered Hardcore bands and yet they sound completely different.

Thumbs up just for the Oceanic PP

They're not as low and abrasive when compared to the recordings, but I feel that he probably adjusts his technique while performing live to retain his voice

It sounds to me like his vocal chords are a little tired or worn here. Less fine control.

hoodie

A Jedi Knight robe

that sucks bro

Exactly

Your name is Jedediah, that sucks

Because they probably are

+No name required He sounds fucking raw and incredible. Better than on record.

Fairly sure this is the opening song, usually vocalists who don't run extensive warm ups do a shotty job. A lot of people trash his past live vox, rightly so with the stage acrobatics, but over time he seems to have built that stamina and multitasking ability.

To clarify, I'm saying the other footage from this same show has better vocals. It's on this channel.

Yeah, how dare they include the names of the band and the people who filmed and produced the video? Those assholes.

Absolutely nothing was happening at the time and it was a wide angle shot.

you have no grasp on art then, i feel bad for you

Honest Abe I'm sorry sir, I didn't realize you were an expert. Carry on.

Dudes a legend...
