Greg Puciato

Gregory John Puciato (born March 27, 1980) is an American musician best known as the former lead vocalist and lyricist of the mathcore band the Dillinger Escape Plan. In addition to being a solo artist, he fronts the band the Black Queen, and is a member of Killer Be Killed, in which he also plays guitar. He also performed alongside Jerry Cantrell from 2019 to 2025, providing backup vocals and lead vocals on Layne Staley-sung songs for Cantrell's solo tours. In early 2023 he co-founded and fronted the metal/hardcore/rock supergroup Better Lovers, before leaving in early 2026. In 2018, Puciato and visual artist Jesse Draxler co-founded the art collective and record label Federal Prisoner. Puciato is noted for the intensity of his live performances, wide vocal and stylistic range, outspoken views, and controversy stemming from his bands' performances and interviews. Rolling Stone said that "few singers live, breathe and often literally bleed their art like he does." In 2023, Jake Richardson of Loudwire described his style as "echoing the band’s varied and technically proficient take on metalcore."
