Inspiration 2: Death Grips

Death Grips is a Sacramento-based music group known for both surreal lyricism and experimental vocals and instrumentation. Perhaps most infamous work is their debut mix-tape, Exmilitary, showcasing a kind of dark liberation; becoming so free from the will of society that you no longer fear anything, including death itself. Covered with nigh-apocalyptic imagery and uncompromisingly nihilistic ideologies, the thesis statement for this album, and perhaps for the band as a whole, occurs directly after the hook of the song:

“And I know soon come my time
For in mine void a pale horse burns
But I fear not the time I’m taken
Past the point of no return
Wage war like no tomorrow
Cause no hell, there won’t be one
For all who deny the struggle
The triumphant overcome”
