DIALOGUE
DIAMOND PLATE
DIAMOND PLATE formed in 2004 in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. DIAMOND PLATE unknowingly arrived at the right time, just as thrash-metal was beginning to make a huge comeback worldwide. Due to the ferocity of their music, coupled with a revived hunger for thrash, DIAMOND PLATE quickly established themselves as one of the top forces in the emerging U.S. thrash metal scene.
DIAMOND REXX
Singer Nasti Habits created the original four-member lineup in 1985. Four months after their first live show the band signed a management deal with Mark Nawara and Jim Sperandio who then got the band signed to Island records, and with the addition of bassist Andre and drummer Johnny Cottone they released their debut album Land of the Damned in 1986. In 1989, the band signed to the independent Red Light Records, where they released their second album Rated Rexx in 1990. The band went on hiatus in the 1990s, but Habits formed a new line-up in 2001, now with S.S. Priest on guitar, Basil Cooper on bass and background vocals and Billy Nychay on drums, the band’s now influenced by alternative metal. This line-up recorded the Rexx Erected album, released on the Diamond label, after which Cooper left to be replaced by Tommy Hanus. The Evil was released in 2002 on Crash Music. In 2006 bassist Tommy Evans joined the band, and the following year, original drummer Johnny Cottone returned on drums. The band then went dormant and remained quiet over the next few years. In 2009 the original line-up of Habits/Andre/Priest/Cottone reunited for a twenty-year anniversary show.

DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN
Fuck those Beatles squares: New Jersey’s DEP are incontrovertibly the greatest band the world has ever seen. The evidence is threefold. One: they mash together squiddly jazz guitars, death metal and ‘challenging’ time signatures into a huge spiky ball of noise. Two: on their new EP, Faith No More/Tomahawk nutjob Mike Patton runs around in a gas mask screaming how much he hates Hollywood. Three: herein is a version of Aphex Twin’s ‘Come To Daddy’ which makes the original sound like Charlotte Church.
