Even though they announced in July they announced that they are not together anymore, MC Ride, Zach Hill, and Flatlander threw the fans off with the release of a new album in January. As well as these surprises, fans are waiting for their band’s final album, jenny death.
Death Grips have now released a 19-minute video which shows the band in rehearsal, performing “Inanimate Sensation” and “Lock Your Doors” as well as what seems to be new material. This has sparked speculations of whether or not they will return to the stage.
