“Reptile Dysfunction” is the latest single from Chicago riff conjurors MOTHERLESS. The track comes by way of the band’s Do You Feel Safe? full-length, set for release on Friday, September 12th via Prosthetic Records.

Rooted deep within the city’s longstanding tradition of doom and riff-driven metal, MOTHERLESS is comprised of Stavros Giannopoulos and Alex Klein of The Atlas Moth and Gary Naples and Anthony Cwan of Without Waves. Together they manifest a raw, unfiltered sound that prioritizes weight and atmosphere over theatrics, combining elements of punk and hardcore with a bleak, driving intensity that reflects both personal darkness and industrial urban weight. There’s no gimmick here – just thick tones, sharp songwriting, and a commitment to keeping heavy music honest: “No fog, no light show, just riffs.”

The Beep Test Full-Length To See Release Next Month On Prosthetic Records

“Pink Himalayan” is the latest single from Ireland-based dance-infused math/noise rock outfit GOD ALONE. The track comes off of the band’s forthcoming new full-length, The Beep Test, set for release on October 10th via Prosthetic Records.

Kerrang lauds GOD ALONE’s, “twisted noise, glacial beauty… a duality that’s instantly moving, and sets them apart.” With “Pink Himalayan,” GOD ALONE has composed a true dance/mosh classic that fuses the beautiful chaos of The Armed and Black Midi. The track captivates with an instantly chantable chorus, which seesaws on an axis of flickering and flashing guitar and swaggering drums. It climaxes on the proclamation, “We’re going out tonight; it’s party time.”

Fleshwork is the latest release from PUPIL SLICER, and it sees the mathcore trio emerging refreshed, reinvigorated, and ready to step things up several gears. The album will be released on November 7th through Prosthetic Records.

During the pandemic, PUPIL SLICER offered up their debut album, Mirrors – a gnashing, feral affair that thrust them into the spotlight thanks to their discordant, angular DIY efforts. Sophomore album, Blossom, put more emphasis on songwriting and slicker production values as the PUPIL SLICER show truly hit the road. Fleshwork deftly combines the best bits of their previous releases, retaining the hook-laden song structures yet refusing to compromise on the acerbic energy that lured eager fans in from the very beginning.
