Now former The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman has shared some reflection on what the band meant to him in the below post shared via social media. The group officially hung it up following a series of farewell shows just before the end of 2017.
“The amygdala is a tiny, almond shaped structure deep inside the emotional part of your brain. It is visceral and autonomous Nature gave it to us for survival in a time when well thought out decisions would often have deadly consequences. Playing in @dillingerescapeplan would often put me in an extended state of fight or flight which enabled me to react almost exclusively on emotional impulse.
The speed and intensity of our music and live shows were a catalyst for pure free expession with very little opportunity to reflect on my other daily stresses or even feel pain or fear. Thanks to all the people out there who contributed to allowing me this periodic meditation for the past 20 years. I will certainly miss this.”
Meanwhile, The Black Queen, who feature now ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan singer Greg Puciato made their first social media post since November today (January 04th), you can find it below:
