Reception

Celia Woitas of the German magazine Metal Hammer described the music as "far removed from any music genre": "In gewohnter Kloatmosphäre (...) spielen ihren sehr eigenen Musikmix, der sich fernab von jedem Musikgenre befindet".[2] In his review of the song "Hell" (2018) and analysis of the accompanying music video, Axl Rosenberg of heavy metal news website MetalSucks called the project "a masterpiece of modern art" and described the song as "genre-defying".[3] Mick R. of New Noise Magazine shared the latter view: "Clown Core simply defies categorization."[4]
