Officially their style can be described as industrial experimental hip hop, but that doesn't really get the point across. They are basically channeling pure hate, aggression, violence and schizophrenia through music with, at first glance, minimal detail.
There is Zach Hill on drums, a self-taught (math rock) drummer who is known for his work in Hella and El Grupo Nuevo de Omar-Rodriguez Lopez, and although he doesn't show his exceptional skill on the record, he puts up a nice show live. MC Ride on vocals, if you can call screaming rap verses from the top of your lungs vocals. Andy "Flatlander" Morin on everything else (he hasn't played live lately but he is still in the studio, mixing brain juices and synthesizing ideas into bleeps and bloops that create a haunting atmosphere in their songs).
After first hearing them, I got a feeling they were the usual indie band trying to look different. In the current wave of shitty, overrated, overhyped hip hop swaggas, that had to happen at one point in time. But unlike most indie artists today Death Grips actually throws something new out of their methed-up brains, not the usual 60's-folk-psychedelia revival or back-to-the-roots Gangsta rap.
The repetitiveness of the tracks makes you slip into some kind of a coma, where an angry black man with a beard screams at you about "a pale horse burning" and about "seeing the footage". It will make you either scared shitless and trying to hide or enraged and wanting to break stuff.
Death Grips sounds like an unfinished product, but it is something completely new after all.
