DEATH GRIPS - Bottomless Pit DEATH GRIPS

Bottomless Pit is the fifth album from the experimental hip hop group Death Grips, released on May 6, 2016, through Third Worlds and Harvest Records. Contains Giving Bad People Good Ideas, Spikes, Hot Head, and Three Bedrooms In A Good Neighborhood.

Formed in 2010, the group consists of rapper and vocalist Stefan Burnett, known by his stage name MC Ride, drummer and producer Zach Hill, and co-producer Andy Morin. The band's music has been characterized as drawing on hip hop, industrial, punk, electronic and noise music. In 2015, The Skinny called them “the first truly important band of the twenty-first century”. Following several broken performance commitments, the group announced their “disbanding” in July 2014 along with the release of their fourth album The Powers That B. However, in March 2015 the group revealed that they “might make some more” music and later announced the release of Bottomless Pit.

Pitchfork wrote, "On their new album 'Bottomless Pit', they stitch together one of their most cohesive grotesques ever, renewing their focus on songcraft, rather than chicanery." 8.1
