BraveWords scribe and self-proclaimed DEP fanatic David Perri has reviewed the first single from One Of Us Is The Killer called 'Prancer' below:

"'Prancer' is everything DEP is known for and should be known for, the song a distilled embodiment of Dillinger's frantic and frenetic delivery that is all the more authentic because this explosive release of angst, anxiety and anomie is no show: this is way-outside-the-fucking-box as existential identity and if you get it, you're in for life. 'Prancer' is a brave and bloodied collision course of 'Sugar Coated Sour' and 'Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants', Dillinger Escape Plan clawing deep into the abysses of its pitch-black psyche to propose art that is profound, subversive and so, so necessary... 'Prancer', through all of its abrasion and its death by a thousand cuts, earns Dillinger the title of world's most dangerous band, yet again."

'Prancer' is streaming below:

One Of Us Is The Killer was recorded in Southern California with longtime producer Steve Evetts (GLASSJAW, THE CURE, SUICIDE SILENCE), with additional production at guitarist/co-founder Ben Weinman's studio. Mastering was handled by Tom Baker (DEFTONES, NINE INCH NAILS, BEASTIE BOYS).

One Of Us Is The Killer finds the band in top form, emphasizing Dillinger Escape Plan's fierce independence, staunch individualism and loyalty to their unique vision which has long followed them on-stage and off.
