The Dillinger Escape Plan is a mathcore band that integrates metalcore with free jazz via varying time signatures and free jazz guitar interludes. They are known for the intensity and too-close-for-comfort violence of their live shows, and are rumored to choose their music's time signatures with the aid of dice, or with the use of some kind of code. Their name refers to outlaw John Dillinger, given their use of samples relating to him in their early live shows.
