U.K. mathcore trio, and Revolver HQ favorites, Pupil Slicer are gearing up to release their sophomore album, Blossom, which is already sounding like a major level-up from their also-great 2021 debut, Mirrors. Last month, they dropped the record's grunge-y, head-spinning title track, and today they've unveiled another, much heavier single called "No Temple."
The track begins with a touch of drum 'n' bass before the band comes roaring in with their own jagged rhythms, blistering guitar work, and the spine-cracking power of singer-guitarist Kate Davies' vocals. Pupil Slicer cap this new single off with a new video that tells a quick and bloody sci-fi horror tale that takes unfolds while the band is roaring away onstage. Watch and listen via YouTube above.
"Blossom is a story that encapsulates a wide gamut of intense emotions and a rollercoaster of events over the 47-minute runtime," Davies said about the new album. "Likewise, the musical elements are also equally diverse whilst maintaining a cohesion to what's going on at that point in the album.
The feedback we received for our first single has been overwhelmingly positive but let's face it — not what a lot of people were expecting from a band named 'Pupil Slicer'. Here is a sample from the opposite end of the musical range that Blossom encapsulates. 'No Temple' is the heaviest song we've ever written."
Blossom is due out June 2nd through Prosthetic Records and available for pre-order now.
