Death Grips are writing and recording a new album—their first since 2018’s Year of the Snitch—an announcement shared by MC Ride and Zach Hill.

The band has denied breakup rumors, staying active on Instagram, though Andy Morin’s status and involvement remain unconfirmed.

Fans expect the new material to push their signature experimental blend of hip-hop, punk, electronic, noise, and industrial sounds.

Reactions from fans have been intense and speculative, particularly regarding potential sonic directions and Morin’s absence.

Formed in Sacramento in 2010, Death Grips are known for their chaotic fusion of genres and have built a cult following.

Their last major activity was a 2023 North American tour, which drew positive responses but included an incident where they walked off the stage after glow sticks were thrown.

The 2023 tour also featured disrupted performances at times, underscoring the band’s history of provocative live shows.

Since 2019, the band has issued only sporadic releases, with Hill pursuing various side projects.

Zach Hill has been active outside the group, forming Undo K From Hot and collaborating with Lucas Abela on Bag of Max Bag of Cass, released recently.

The piece frames Death Grips as pioneers of an unpredictable, genre-blending legacy, setting the stage for the upcoming work.

Uncertainty remains around Morin’s status, as he did not sign recent public posts, fueling speculation of lineup changes.

Overall, Death Grips are in the studio on a high-profile return, with details like release date and lineup still unclear.
