Pupil Slicer is back. And they’re louder, angrier, and more vital than ever.
22 mo,nths after the crushing ‘Blossom’, Pupil Slicer return with ‘Heather / Black Scrawl’ — a blistering double single that marks the dawn of a new era for the UK mathcore juggernaut. Known for their searing intensity and fearless experimentation, the band doubles down with their most emotionally raw and sonically punishing work yet.
“These tracks explore both my own experiences as a non-binary autistic person and the broader dehumanization of marginalized communities,” “Heather » confronts the weaponization of identity in political discourse, while ‘Black Scrawl’ dives into the emotional wreckage of enduring constant hatred—of trying to survive when even your own reflection feels like an enemy.
This is personal. This is pain turned into power. This is Trans Inclusive Radical Hatred.” (Kate Davies, Pupil Slicer)
Recorded with Joe Clayton (Bossk, Hundred Year Old Pan, Pijn…) at No Studio, ‘Heather / Black Scrawl’ builds on the razor-edged chaos of ‘Mirrors’ and the expansive melodic ambition of Blossom, forging a sound that’s both sharper and darker than ever. From gut-punching breakdowns to haunting atmospheres, Pupil Slicer continue to stretch the limits of what extreme music can be.
This is not just a release—it’s a reckoning.
