Death Grips Are Back with a Raw as Hell New Track Called "Hot Head"

Death Grips 2.0 is real.

We all kinda guessed the death of Death Grips would be no usual break up affair. It was never going to be a long and drawn out will-they-won't-they timeline, with one member trying out a reggae-punk project before deciding they were better off together and reforming for Reading Festival.

Instead, what we've had from Death Grips has been more of an afterlife experience, a productive haunting. Last year, they announced their final album, the end of Death Grips, but then announced a brand new album, appropriately titled Bottomless Pit. In January came the news of new shows at Coachella and with Savages across the US. And today, we have a brand new track, titled "Hot Head" which comes with revving chainsaw synths, frenetic vocal cuts, MC Ride's signature screams, and hellish thuds – and for all those reasons it's lit. Death Grips 2.0 is real.

So, if your timeline has been ruthlessly commandeered by outpourings of love for Coldplay's pedestrian Super Bowl performance and you need some sort of respite from the Niagara of saccharine sincerity that is Chris Martin doing a kick jump and going, "Whoawhoawhoooooa"—without any sharks or robotic tigers, I mean WTF, man—then here's your lava hot medicine.
