A statement reads:
Dillinger Escape Plan announced their departure from Relapse Records last night and this morning they have officially joined the ranks of Season of Mist. The band’s new album will be released in early-2010 via Season Of Mist in collaboration with the group’s new label, Phonogetic Records.
Guitar player Ben Weinman comments: “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 10 years now. 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.
This new signing is a major coup for Season Of Mist who also count Cynic in their ranks. It’s also a surprise to see DEP leave Relapse, a label they have hugely assisted in its development, along with Neurosis and Mastodon.
Option Paralysis will be released on March 23rd and the track “Farewell Mona Lisa” can be heard HERE.
