Irony Is a Dead Scene is the third EP by American mathcore band, The Dillinger Escape Plan. It was recorded with Mike Patton and released on August 27, 2002, through Epitaph Records.[1][2]


Background

Following the departure of the band's original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis, the temporary plan to record with Patton was in place before a permanent replacement vocalist had been found, yet by the time Patton had recorded vocals and the EP was released, the band had been touring with new vocalist Greg Puciato for nearly a year. Puciato likely understood when joining that the band had an excellent opportunity to work with a renowned vocalist, agreeing to join under the conditions he wait to record with the band until their next release, and would go on to perform the songs live with the band for years to come.
