Visions Of Bodies Being Burned
''Visions of Bodies Being Burned'' is the fourth studio album by American hip hop group clipping. It was released on October 23, 2020 through Sub Pop. It received positive reviews from music critics. Background and recording Clipping described ''Visions of Bodies Being Burned'' in a press release as a "second half of a planned diptych", continuing the horrorcore and industrial stylings of their previous release ''There Existed an Addiction to Blood''. Both albums were recorded during 2015–2020, following their sci-fi themed sophomore album '' Splendor & Misery'', with the band creating too many songs to fit on one release and then dividing them into two parts with the help of their label, Sub Pop.

In the time between ''There Existed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Industrial Music
Industrial music is a genre of music that draws on harsh, mechanical, transgressive or provocative sounds and themes. AllMusic defines industrial music as the "most abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music" that was "initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments (tape music, musique concrète, white noise, synthesizers, sequencers, etc.) and punk provocation". The term was coined in the mid-1970s with the founding of Industrial Records by members of Throbbing Gristle and Monte Cazazza. While the genre name originated with Throbbing Gristle's emergence in the United Kingdom, artists and labels vital to the genre also emerged in the United States and other countries. The first industrial artists experimented with noise and aesthetically controversial topics, musically and visually, such as fascism, sexual perversion, and the occult. Prominent industrial musicians include Throbbing Gristle, Monte Cazazza, SPK, Boyd Rice, Cabaret Voltaire, and Z'E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
