The Dillinger Escape Plan (DEP) is a technical metalcore band from Morris Plains, N.J. The band is famous for the technical proficiency and speed of its music as well as its live performances. The Dillinger Escape Plan formed in the late '90s, and immediately became recognized as a prominent hardcore band.

Since then, the band's style has become more technical. The band's latest album, "The Ire Works," is an example of its continual evolution. While it does not entirely neglect DEP's hardcore days, the album is far more experimental and imaginative than any previous DEP album.
