"Clipping continue their gore-soaked anthology with Visions of Bodies Being Burned, the second half of a planned diptych, with an equal amount of loving detail towards the horror films the group recreates ... Few listening experiences this year are as gripping, visceral, and vivid as Visions of Bodies Being Burned".

"The sequel to There Existed an Addiction to Blood extends the trio's bristly noise and gory horrorcore rap with a sense of terror that's more academic than frightening".

""Do you like scary movies?" asks rapper Daveed Diggs, several tracks in, Your answer will define your response to what marks clipping.'s finest refinement yet of their abrasive horror-rap. William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes' minimal productions conjure macabre atmosphere and sinister tension from industrial clanking and scraping, power electronics and abattoir sounds ... [Diggs'] gore-soaked horrors are often blackly hilarious but aren't for the faint of heart, while "Check The Lock" (key line "Something in this room didn't use to be") is hip-hop-as-campfire-ghost-story, demonstrating his giftfor suspense. Meanwhile, the nihilistic drum'n'bass barrages of "Pian Everyday" finds space for subtle social commentary, its zombie parable serving as a metaphor for racial passing".
