Dillinger Escape Plan Does Justin Timberlake

If you dig the kind of metal albums that are written in 13/8 and are an endurance test to get through, then you are likely a fan of Dillinger Escape Plan. You've also probably caught them live, as the band's been on the road supporting 2004's Miss Machine since its release.

While they gear up for their high profile support slot on the upcoming AFI tour, the band is making a new EP availabile to fans through the I-Tunes Music Store. The EP, notably titled Plagiarism, includes some curiously chosen covers. Actually, the material is out of left field.

Get ready for covers of Massive Attack ("Angel"), Nine Inch Nails ("Wish"), Soundgarden ("Jesus Christ Pose") and Justin Timberlake (?) ("Like I Love You"). Looking for new songs? Forget it. However, there are new versions of Dillinger's own "The Perfect Design" and "Unretrofied" included in the set. If you're impatient and want to hear Dillinger's homage to the grunge years, check out the Soundgarden cover now, as it was posted to their Myspace page. You can digitally purchase Plagiarism starting June 13.

Also, prepare for a Miss Machine DVD in the works, which will include all music videos from that album as well as live footage. Unfortunately, it will be some time before a new Dillinger album sees the light of day. Guitarist Ben Weinman will be sidelined for arm surgery after their upcoming tour dates. At the same time, the band took 5 years between their last two albums, so this is nothing new for them. Hopefully, we will see a new full length before 2009.
