After 20 years, the Dillinger Escape Plan are calling it quits. The band's adventurous sound and peerless daredevil live performances won them diehards within both the underground and the mainstream, including Metallica's Lars Ulrich, who has sung DEP's praises as early as 2009 and handpicked Dillinger to play 2013's Orion Music + More festival.

Who better, then, to conduct Dillinger's exit interview than the Metallica drummer, who has become a seasoned interrogator of his fellow musicians as the host of It's Electric!, his own Beats 1 online radio show? Needless to say, founding guitarist Ben Weinman and singer Greg Puciato — Metallica fans since they were kids — were down, so we asked Ulrich and he gamely agreed.

Check out preview clips of the conversation below, listen to the full interview Sunday, December 17th at 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST on "It's Electric" and pick up your copy of the issue here.
