Clipping. - Visions Of Bodies Being Burned

Released exactly one year after their return from silence, Visions of Bodies Being Burned finds the Los Angeles experimental rap trio—Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Snipes, and William Hutson—delivering a higher body count and even more elaborate kills. Originally conceived as the second half of a massive creative outpouring during the There Existed an Addiction to Blood sessions, this album is less a sequel and more a companion piece. While a global pandemic delayed its arrival, the wait only heightened the tension of this "part two," which sees Clipping. fully immersed in the thematic soil of horrorcore like vampires to a grave.

Where its predecessor introduced the darkness, Visions of Bodies Being Burned dives deeper into the woods, channeling the spirits of 90s underground rap and slasher cinema. The production is a masterclass in claustrophobic industrial noise and unsettling silence, providing the perfect backdrop for Diggs’ intricate, rapid-fire storytelling. It is a terrifyingly precise exploration of monsters that refuse to stay dead and the dystopian reality that birthed them.
