Background

After forming on December 21, 2010, in Sacramento, California, Death Grips released their first song "Full Moon (Death Classic)" on March 8, 2011, along with a music video and a free self-titled EP.[1] The EP consists of six tracks, the latter three of which would appear the following month on their debut mixtape, Exmilitary.[2][3]

Following the release of Exmilitary on April 25, 2011, the EP was removed from the band's website, although "Full Moon (Death Classic)" and "Face Melter (How To Do Impossible Things)" remained available for a short time. "Full Moon (Death Classic)" was released as the band's debut single on April 27, 2011, and was the only song from the EP still available on streaming services and for digital download. However, in February 2023, the majority of Death Grips’ discography was made available for free download on the Third Worlds website, which included a copy of the EP without the tracks rereleased on Exmilitary.[4]
