Ephel Duath News and Other Bits and Pieces

Since news has been a bit slow lately, I've decided to post about a whole bunch of things that at least having a passing relation to The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Firstly, as you may remember, Ben Weinman is appearing on an upcoming full-length release by the great Italian avant-garde/experimental metal group Ephel Duath, which will be released on Earache Records. The following news on the status of the record was posted by Ephel Duath as a MySpace Bulletin just the other day:

Hey all,

We hope the summer's treating you well!

We're doing pretty good, we've just recorded the new album. It's going to be mastered wednesday and we obviously cant wait. We're really impatient to see how you guys will respond to it, but we're also psyched because we really have the feeling to have accomplished something good.

It's still quite hard to describe, but Through My Dog's Eyes should be out october 6!

In the meantime we'd like you to check out our brand new Facebook page.

It's going to be filled with exclusive stuff so make sure to join it!
