Mathcore Upstarts Pupil Slicer Share New Song and Video, “Interlocutor”

London mathcore upstarts Pupil Slicer, proprietors of the most stomach-churning band name to rise from the metal scene in recent years, have unveiled their latest single, “Interlocutor,” along with a music video.

Vocalist-guitarist Katie Davies says of the song,

“‘Interlocutor’ is a look into some of our more direct and immediate work, a musical train of thought running off the rails, constantly evolving in one direction. This theme is reflected in the lyrics which tell of an internal struggle, a fight between a voice of reason and love of life pitted against a twisted mirror image of crushing depression and self-loathing.”

Drummer Josh Andrews adds of the video:

“We wanted to go beyond the more typical style of performance videos common to metal and create a stronger narrative to effectively explore the concepts that are core to Kate’s lyrics.

“The music video features a woman in turmoil and on the brink of suicide. The inner thoughts in the present self and memory of a happier childhood self are featured to highlight how oppressing and all encompassing a self-destructive mindset can become, losing touch with better times and the possibility of a brighter tomorrow.”
