(Metal Hammer) The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman believes most of Greg Puciato's lyrics on their recent albums have been about their co-dependent creative relationship.
The band are gearing up to release sixth record Dissociation before they split up after a final world tour, and Puciato has stated that the imminent split didn't influence his songwriting.
Now Weinman tells Loudwire: "I didn't write the lyrics. But to be honest, I think most of the last few records have to do with the tug and pull of me and Greg.
"We rely on each other to step up so much. We make our living off each other's output and the decisions we make. If he does something it affects me - if I do something it affects him. Co-dependence falls upon couples, work partners, friends. Everyone has these deals where you tug and pull."
He describes his relationship with Puciato as "the ultimate co-dependency" and adds: "We also enjoy the outcome and the process so much. We're really close."
But he observes: "Brothers want to kill each other!" Read more here.
