Dillinger Escape Plan's Dissociation Not About Breakup

(Metal Hammer) The Dillinger Escape Plan frontman Greg Puciato says that their forthcoming album "Dissociation" doesn't reference their impending "breakup" at all.

The band announced last week that they'd release their sixth album Dissociation on October 14 and that after a tour to support it, they'll go on an "extended hiatus."

And while using the stronger term "breakup" rather than hiatus, Puciato says the lyrics don't focus on the fact it could be their last album. He tells Alternative Press: "There's literally nothing on the record referencing our breakup. It's not even something I was thinking about when I was writing.

"I know that would be more interesting for people, but for me, writing that kind of a record would be the same thing I hate about autobiographies. You're turning other people into tools for your own gain, and I find that really disgusting.

"For me, every record is a time capsule of life at that moment. You want to stuff everything you can in there so that you're not walking around with it. So if something's a burden in my life, I'll try to turn that into something other people can enjoy and get something out of. But most of my life outside of Dillinger has nothing to do with playing in Dillinger." Read more here.
