Rumors circulated earlier this year that Death Grips had disbanded after a tumultuous reunion tour several years ago, but the band have taken to instagram to clear the air with a message:
“Despite rumor and hearsay, we remain active as Death Grips.
-Stefan and Zach”

American industrial group Nine Inch Nails will be producing and composing the music for the upcoming film, Tron: Ares, which stars Jared Leto as the main character. The film is scheduled to be released on October 10th.
Trent Reznor explained why they decided to compose the film as NIN, stating: "It is as Nine Inch Nails, and I think it's influenced the way we approach scoring. It's going to be a little grittier, and it's just different; it's still the same two people, but we're in a different mindset. We feel like we can play by different rules a bit, and the people working on the film were excited about that, so we thought we'd try it."
