Pupil Slicer announce new album Blossom

British mathcore outfit Pupil Slicer have announced a new album. On June 2, they’ll release their sophomore album Blossom via Prosthetic. The first track they’ve shared is the title track. Hear it below, plus check out the tracklist and their upcoming tour dates—including shows with Boris.

Vocalist/guitarist Kate Davies said in a press release, “‘Blossom’ is the culmination of 2 years spent with razor focus on crafting a journey like no other. We are incredibly proud of the feats we have achieved on our sophomore album, building upon the experience and feedback from our debut to further break down the walls between metal, hardcore, shoegaze, electronic music and pop.

“We have delivered the most concentrated Pupil Slicer experience yet. A hard sci-fi/cosmic horror concept album, the story told across ‘Blossom’ draws on some of my favourite media to craft these 10 tracks where instrumental, lyrical and visual elements have been cohesively refined to serve the world I have created.

“We are introducing the world of ‘Blossom’ via the title track, the final point beyond time and space, a nexus of everything that could have been and a vantage point into everything that came before.”

Pupil Slicer recently collaborated with Backxwash on His Happiness Shall Come First Even Though We Are Suffering.
