ΛΗΘΗ – Λήθη 12’ LP

1371442_354040028063554_1307325624_nIf lethe is equivalent to oblivion and concealment , this Greek trio’s matching name has to be making no use of self-reference, in fact quite the opposite.

The Dillinger Escape Plan always knew how to surprise us, and deliver us some of the most interesting and challenging music to listen to. That’s why we love them!
