Chris Pennie's Escape Plan 2007-06-15 by Tyler EMERITUS | 19 Comments | Chris Pennie, a founding member of the Dillinger Escape Plan, has left the group, reportedly to become a fulltime member of Coheed and Cambria.
The band had this to say:

Is This The End...
Or is the journey just beginning?
Details of what has transpired over the last year, and starting long before then, will reveal themselves in time.
Know that what we are in the process of recording will be everything we have ever been capable of, and now more. This last year, and how we have gotten through it and to the place we are now, will define all of our lives for a long time. You will hear it in the music and words when you hear this album, and when you see us play live you will see the newfound energy that we now have from making it through all this together. Some of you are new, some of you have been with us for a long time. Regardless, we have a long way left to go, and the thing that we share together besides the music is making it through obstacles in our lives. We have overcome everything from multiple member changes in the early years, members suffering physical impairment or injury that has made it impossible to continue playing, and financial, physical, personal, and internal problems that many bands would never make it through. We take forever to put out records, and put everything we have into them. This band goes beyond just writing music and lyrics for us, it exists in every aspect of our lives 24 hours a day, and everything we experience and go through ends up going into this band in some way. When we see familiar faces on tour, we know that in the time since we have seen you last, you have had to deal with a lot in your own life just to get there again. Life is not easy, but it is the overcoming of obstacles and the amount of fight we have inside of us that will define us. We are going through all this together in some way or another. Please welcome this new time for us. The past was great, but the future will be greater I promise, if every day we didn't know for a fact that it would be, we wouldn't continue. We love you all for sticking though us through all of this. You'll hear it and see us soon.
The album is called "Ire Works" and is being produced by Steve Evetts for a fall release. Recording members of The Dillinger Escape Plan are now:
Ben Weinman
Liam Wilson
Greg Puciato
Gil Sharone

The band has posted a small video, the third "webisode" to be posted on YouTube by the group. The video dramatizes the current situation and introduces fans to Gil, who also drums for Stolen Babies.

SO CHEESED.

i mean sucks for DEP but yeah coheed are way better
You speak lies, chan.
| | |
that sucks for DEP cuz he was an amazing drummer, this just means that the new Coheed album is going to be even better.
| | |
No it doesnt. You honestly think he'll be able to experiment or do anything cool with Claudio's band?
| | |
you serious coke? chans right, chris isnt just going to sit and play boring shit like eppard did at times.
| | |
I mean I like both DEP and C&C, but Coheed absolutely slays DEP. However, I don't think Pennie's going to be busting out the cool stuff that he does (did) with DEP.

I mean I like both DEP and C&C, but Coheed absolutely slays DEP. ^^^
| | |
Shit, I knew this was going to happen the second I heard he was working with Coheed. Dammit.
| | |
As good as Dillinger is, Coheed is just so much better. He should be a good fit in Coheed.
| | |
Both bands win IMO. Like both equally.
Gil will spark my curiousity more of his contribution to the new album more then Chris though.
| | |
Coheed's new album will be sweet. News sucks for DEP fans though.
| | |
This is so gay.
Personally, I think Coheed are incredibly average and monotonous.
This is shit. 
| | |
Hmm , never rated him till I seen him in clinic., Outstanding drummer, but DEP never deserved him anyway
| | |
he left dillinger to join coheed Ughh wtf
| | |
DEP never deserved him anyway
He started the band....
| | |
yeah please know what you're talking about starclassic, thanks.
I don't know how I feel about this. It seemed like both bands were kind of going down in their projects (in my opinion obviously) so maybe this change will make both bands better, for the better. (hard for me to say that since I think both of their debut LPs are classics as far as I'm concerned)
| | |
Doesnt really make a difference
| | |
I'm sad about chris leaving, but the new guy is fucking good so I'm still way excited about the new albumThis Message Edited On 06.22.07
