Dillinger sign to Season Of Mist

By | Published on Thursday 28 May 2009

American experimental mathcore types The Dillinger Escape Plan, previously signed to US metal indie Relapse, have announced they have signed a new deal with another metal-specialising independent, French/American indie Season Of Mist. The indie will release Dillinger’s fourth long player in partnership with the band’s own label, Phonogetic Records.

Confirming the deal, the band’s guitarist, Ben Weinman, is quoted by Blabbermouth thus: “It is becoming clear that as the music industry standard continues to morph and change on a daily basis, artistic and operational freedom has become a band’s most valuable asset. 100% free of all previous contractual ties, Dillinger is in an amazing position to collaborate with some interesting partners which will continue to nurture the ethic that we have been doing our best to stay true to for over ten years now”.

He continues: “While touring Europe in support of our record ‘Ire Works’, I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Berberian, distributor and owner of the independent record label Season Of Mist. It quickly became clear that we had very similar ideas about Dillinger’s music and its place in the underground. Season Of Mist has always been a leader in releasing some of the most extreme and interesting metal and experimental music. We look forward to releasing our next full length effort in association with Season of Mist as the very first chapter of this new journey. Also, Michael’s last name almost spells out Barbarian which Greg was really excited about”.
