Zach Hill Handcuffs


DG rehearsal 07/05/13. Zach shows forced restraint via handcuffs and still does things no other drummer can do. This seems to be a portion of Death Grips' live set for their upcoming shows. If so, this will be their first time performing as a trio since their shows at Coachella last year.

Weiss / Cameron / Hill - DRUMGASM, finally being released!!


Janet Weiss, Matt Cameron and Zach Hill recorded music together in 2004. It was supposed to be released as a double CD by Frenetic Records but it never happened, for unknown reasons. 

Jackpot Records will be presenting the album as a vinyl only release on August 27th, 2013, which also comes with an MP3 download of the full album. Although this LP is likely to have less music than the intended Frenetic release, it will surely be a mind blasting aural experience regardless of running time.

Zach writing and directing a film scored by Death Grips plus making another new DG album

I don't even know what to say right now, this is too fucking great.

"Zach is currently writing, directing and soundtracking an original feature film. The movie is of his own creation, fictionally based and not related to the group. The film will be soundtracked with all new Death Grips music. He is also working on and recording the new Death Grips album at the moment. Death Grips is Stefan. Zach. Andy. Zach is very much still in Death Grips."

Death Grips have posted mysterious images on their new twitter account and Zach has mentioned "skype drums" happening at their show tonight. Whatever they do will be incredible and you can watch it at boilerroom.tv/live with Death Grips set to perform at 11:45 pm central time.
