Description
“the sound of the future now." – KERRANG!
“like calculus played through loud amps and tuned down to heavy-as-hell...cutting edge” - MTV.com
“F___ those Beatles squares: New Jersey's DEP are incontrovertibly the greatest band the world
has ever seen.” - NME
Fall, 1997: A handful of growing pains disguised as recordings behind them, five clean-cut suburban kids from northern New Jersey hit the studio to lay down some demo tracks. Roughly one year later, said kids find their three-song, eight-minute brainstorming session changing the growth trajectory of hardcore forever. Sure, it's been six years, multiple
line-ups and at least nine million changes in popular culture since the DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN made their Relapse Records debut with 'Under The Running Board,' but in September of 1999, the DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN once again proved they meant business with the release of their debut full-length, 'Calculating Infinity.' As with everything DILLINGER has done, the album was insanely complex, staggeringly detailed-and instantly polarizing: Either you'd hate it, or, as the subsequent generation of "math metal" (a subgenre that didn't even exist pre-'Calculating Infinity') bands has proved, you'd spend your entire musical life trying to get your head around it. Calling '...Infinity' a fusion of styles (most noticeably jazz, metal, hardcore and electronic music) is selling it short: Sure, it sounds like jazz when Weinman and Benoit break into a squiggling guitar tag-team mid-song; and it sounds like hardcore when DILLINGER shifts into a crunching, off-time breakdown; but that's only because those sections are easy-to-grasp breaks in the action. The time-shifting, pulse-shattering bulk of 'Calculating Infinity' forces the listener to make sense of the record just as the title unintentionally suggests.
