Visions Of Bodies Being Burned // Clipping. – Tom Baker
Released: 23 October 2020
Yet again Clipping have raised the bar for what a hip-hop album can be. Their latest offering shows an adept understanding of horror-core, hip-hop, experimental music and everything in between. Visions Of Bodies Being Burned creates a world that you recognise, but only just; it’s a nightmarish reflection of the world we live in. By blending the surreal, the real, the experimental and the familiar, it reminds us why genre boundaries were made to be broken.
Although the discordant tones, blasts of harsh noise and metallic slinking bass lines can feel intimidating at times; it truly is an album that creates a narrative and a world for you to explore. Your enjoyment of the album depends on how far you are willing to fall into the sightless pit Clipping. create. I highly recommend everyone locks their doors, turns off the lights and gives it a listen, even if just for morbid curiosity.
