dillinger escape whaa??
Misereatur:
I'm going to second Botch, and add Shitstorm and Cult Of Luna's first and second albums to the list.
SpacemanSpiff:
The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza (that's their name, I can't help it), Into The Moat, PsyOpus and, although more metal-influenced, Ion Dissonance. The first two I mentioned are the closest, PsyOpus features a hell of a lot more complicated and very fascinating guitar work, and Ion Dissonance is ... well, loud.
And I totally second Botch. They are awesome.
Aneurhythmia:
--- Quote from: pinkpiche ---What? Converge and Coalesce? They have absolutely nothing in common with DEP. Converge is chaotic, shattering hardcore metal, which really doesn't draw ANY parallels to DEP at all. I don't know any other bands that sound like DEP though.
--- End quote ---
Yeah, I can't imagine anyone describing DEP that way...
They're all bands heavily influenced by hardcore and technical metal that came up in the same scene in the 90's. They took those influences to different stylistic ends, but to say that they have absolutely nothing in common is willful ignorance.
Why wouldn't you separate Botch out as well? They sound more like Converge and Coalesce than Dillinger. Dillinger mostly differ on their tech metal approach to guitar. Candiria are really the odd ones out on my list, and not because of their obvious jazz and rap influences. Because their incorporation of rhythmic and percussive complexity into the hardcore aesthetic is, in my opinion, far more cohesive than any of those other bands' attempts.
Sure, the OP could find a more similar listening experience in the pale imitations of DEP that plague the Trustkill catalog, but I think the suggestions I made are a more relevant and worthwhile option.

But DEP isn't really metal or good, so whatev.[/quote]
No reallys.
No subtitles.
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN IS NOT FUCKING METAL.
THIS HAS NO RELEVANCE TO ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR QUALITY, THEY ARE JUST NOT FUCKING METAL.
La Creme:
Tapping into a similar technical, heavy aspect:
- By The End Of Tonight
- Behold...The Arctopus
- Fantomas (occassionally, and especially if you liked the DEP with Mike Patton album, which is their best work I.M.O.)
- Lightning Bolt
- The Fall Of Troy
None of these match up perfect, but give em a try, I think you'll like them if you like DEP.
