We’ve told you earlier about New Jersey’s Dillinger Escape Plan and the scheme for the fourth studio album. Now, thanks to PunkNews.org, that new album entitled Option Paralysis has finally publicized a release date.

The album will be the band’s first album on their own imprint Party Smasher and will be distributed through Season of Mist. It also marks the end of the band’s 10-plus-year working relationship with Relapse Records. However, the band did decide to work with long-time collaborator Steve Evetts (who has also worked with Earth Crisis and Hatebreed). In true punk fashion, the band pounded through the recording process, beginning September 7th and wrapping up October 30th.

Option Paralysis is out March 23, 2010. The band will be on our with Thursday and Fake Problems in December. Sample the album courtesy of the band’s YouTube page . As always, stay tuned for more news and a tracklist.
