The Dillinger Escape Plan, Trapped Under Ice, and More Added to New England Metal & Hardcore Fest

I think my headline probably gave this away, but The Dillinger Escape Plan and Trapped Under Ice have been added to the fifteenth-annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Other new additions to the bill include MetalSucks favorites Alleageon as well as Alpha & Omega, Born Low, MurderDeathKill, Dark Sermon, Expire, Power Trip, Twitching Tongues and Antagonist A.D.

I think even tight-anuses who feel like NEMHF is “too scene” have to admit that this is a killer bill; if The Dillinger Escape Plan were a regular part of that Opeth/Kataonia tour, we’d all trample one another to get tickets. And I imagine they’ll be done recording their Sumerian debut by that time, in which case it seems plausible that they might be playing new material. And even if they’re not… DEP! You love!
