Ben Weinman, mastermind behind the Dillinger Escape Plan who helped the members of FSOJ map out the complex twists and turns in each track with co-producer Ryan Siegel (Glassjaw) had this to say, “It was great working with a band who have truly captured the inspiration and attitude of so many of the bands I came up with over the years.”
Dead Languages finds the group wildly experimenting with moods, momentum and melody, multiple times within each song. It’s radical and unpredictable, as “Beardrops” and “Law Blog” swoon from a blitzkrieg assault to a slow, almost Helmet-like rigidity, while “Bone of Contention” and “Persia the Dog” distort and twist throughout. Meanwhile, the title track builds from a warm psychedelic haze (think Sabbath’s “Planet Caravan”) into a harsh and brutal finale. It’s a violently smart assault on the senses, and one more than equal to the best work of the band’s major influences.
“What I’ve heard of Dead Languages so far is incredibly energetic, frenetic, brutally heavy and technical.” – MetalSucks.net
“This is an unpredictable and super-technical disc with surprises lurking around every corner.”
