Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "The Dillinger Escape Plan" in English language version.
Like almost any other progressive metal band's, the lyrics are nonstop dystopia.
A couple of us played in bands together before and basically the guys from Dillinger pretty much had our drummer in common but we were playing in different bands. Our bass player Adam [Doll] and one of the guys that was playing guitar with us early on [John Fulton] had played with our drummer Chris [Pennie] in a band. I played with Chris in a band with Dimitri [Minakakis] who was the singer with Dillinger and some other guys. We kind of just formed one supergroup out of the two bands that were playing. The band I was in initially was just noisy and heavy and the band that those guys were in was kind of melodic and technical and textured, much more about technical stuff. I was into more hardcore and punk but the thing we had in common was we were all into fusion like King Crimson and stuff like that so that was the tie that bound it all together.
Greg Puciato: Well, as a producer we'll definitely never use anyone except for Steve [Evetts], who produces our records now. He's done every single one of them, and at this point in the game he's like the other member.
Greg Puciato: [...] it happens all the time [the injuries]. I mean, I've had teeth knocked out, I've had every finger broken, my wrist has been broken, I've got cuts all over the back of my head. We've had concussions, I've broken ribs, Ben has torn ligaments and shit like that. [...] I know right now, while I'm talking to you, if I open and close my hand that I'm not holding my phone with, it fucking hurts. I can feel like all the Arthritis in my fingers and shit from having my hand broken and fingers broken so many times. It's just part of my daily life, I don't really think about it anymore.
Ben Weinman: I feel like that's been extremely important for the development of this band. We've all been straight edge, and I still am to this day.
Contemporary grindcore bands such as The Dillinger Escape Plan [...] have developed avant-garde versions of the genre incorporating frequent time signature changes and complex sounds that at times recall free jazz.

Ben Weinman: It's funny because my parents see these Instagram shots or someone sends them a picture and they're horrified. The truth is that stuff is just temporary. Stitches and black eyes are an inconvenience but when you tour and play as much as we do in the way that we do… things like that happen on every tour. [...] I fractured my skull many years ago and it chipped a bone in one of my vertebrae. I had rotator cuff surgery from injuries accrued onstage and they gave me a full MRI and saw a ton of other injuries all over that they were very surprised that I had, based on the way I function. I have neurological damage from my neck that makes me have to pee all the time. I'll probably have to get neck surgery, eventually. There's all kind of things from throughout the years that will affect me forever but cuts and black eyes… whatever. It makes for a cool picture.
At the time our drummer and bass player were more into like technical stuff and I was more into punk and hardcore and blues, kind of more feeling stuff.
