Irony Is a Dead Scene is an EP by American mathcore band The Dillinger Escape Plan with Mike Patton, released on August 27, 2002 (see 2002 in music).
The material on this EP was recorded after the departure of the band's original vocalist, Dimitri Minakakis, but before a replacement (Greg Puciato) had been chosen. The plan to record with Patton was in place before a replacement vocalist had been found. By the time Mike Patton had recorded vocals and the EP was released, the band had been touring with Puciato for nearly a year.
Besides Miss Machine, this is probably their most progressive and experimental release. Many credit this to Mike Patton's influence on the band during this time period. Their experimental influences can be seen in the fourth track, a cover of Aphex Twin's "Come To Daddy (Pappy Mix)".
