Death Grips have released a 14 track “instrumental full length soundtrack” titled Fashion Week, available to stream on YouTube and download here.
A set of instrumentals purporting to be by Death Grips were shared on Reddit four months ago, but were soon dismissed as fake.
The titles of the 14 Fashion Week tracks each consist of an individual letter. In sequence, they spell out the phrase “Jenny Death When”. ‘Jenny Death’ is believed to be the second part of forthcoming double album The Powers That B which, it was revealed in October 2014, is now complete.
The rap group announced the news on Facebook, writing:
“Our new double album “The Powers That B” is now complete. This is the album cover. Digital and physical release dates coming soon.” It has since been reported that the album will be released in February in certain territories.
‘Niggas On The Moon’, the first part of the double LP, was released digitally last year. A track from ‘Jenny Death’, ‘Inanimate Sensation’, was unveiled in December – click below to listen.

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett (aka Kirk Von Hammett) will be throwing the second installment of his annual Fear FestEvil horror convention at the RockBar Theater in San Jose, CA on April 11-12, 2015, with Meshuggah, Agnostic Front, Orchid, Blues Pills (North American debut), High On Fire and Asada Messiah performing.
SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal host José Mangin and Nikki Blakk of Bay Area rock station 107.7 The Bone will preside over the musical mayhem at the RockBar, where another exhibit of some of the finest pieces in any modern collection of horror memorabilia will be on display.
“It has always been my intention that Fear FestEvil events carry both the weird and the loud,” states Kirk Hammett, “and what better way to achieve another extension of what we want to do than eat dinner in a haunted house while solving criminal acts before a weekend of super kick-ass music?!”
