The Dillinger Escape Plan plans to head out on the road on a headline run to add to their recently announced festival dates to support their upcoming album, Option Paralysis (out 3/23/10)Opening for Dillinger on these dates are Darkest Hour, IwrestledABearOnce and Animals As Leaders. The bastard child born of the mid 90s punk/metal/hardcore movement, Darkest Hour combines the passion, energy, and soul of punk/hardcore with the style, speed, vengeance and fury of melodic speed/thrash/death metal. Their history spans a decade and a half, a quarter of a million records sold and voyages across every inch of the globe.
Saying that IWrestledABearOnce makes music that turns heads is a real understatement. Love it or hate it - as long as they get a strong reaction to their music, the members of this band will feel that they have done their duty.
Animals As Leaders is the acclaimed progressive instrumental project of 7- and 8-string guitar virtuoso Tosin Abasi (ex-Reflux, touring guitarist of Born Of Osiris). The self-titled debut was released earlier this year to waves of critical acclaim. All perfect partners for Dillinger Escape Plan's highly anticipated headline run.
