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.

New Zealand-based progressive death metal outfit BLINDFOLDED AND LED TO THE WOODS will unleash their long-awaited new full-length, The Hardest Thing About Being God Is That No One Believes Me, on October 10th via Prosthetic Records.

What does obsession do to your mind? When you fixate on one particular person, place, or event, it clouds your thoughts, pollutes your feelings, and takes over your very being. You lose yourself and succumb to your basest instincts to pursue this obsession at all costs. BLINDFOLDED AND LED TO THE WOODS channels the extremes of a psychotic break into an ambitious sonic tableau of intricately airtight metal, eerie production, and insidiously memorable screams. Set to this pummeling soundtrack, the New Zealand quintet — Stace Fifield (vocals), Stuart Henley-Minchington (guitar, vocals), Dan Hayston (guitar), Nick Smith (bass), and Anthony “Coota” Asimakopoulos (drums) — implants an immersive story into the core of their fifth full-length offering, The Hardest Thing About Being God Is That No One Believes Me.

Chicago’s MOTHERLESS will release their Do You Feel Safe? full-length on September 12th on Prosthetic Records. Featuring eight punishing tracks – including the searing singles “Weaponized Goodwill,” “Reptile Dysfunction,” and “Insect Politics” – this record doesn’t ask questions. It kicks the door in. 

MOTHERLESS is rooted deep in the city’s longstanding tradition of doom and riff-driven metal. Formed by veterans of the local heavy scene – Stavros Giannopoulos and Alex Klein of The Atlas Moth and Gary Naples and Anthony Cwan of Without Waves – MOTHERLESS brings a raw, unfiltered sound that prioritizes weight and atmosphere over theatrics. Their live ethos says it all: “No fog, no light show, just riffs.”

GOD ALONE will release their addictive new full-length, The Beep Test, on October 10th via Prosthetic Records.

GOD ALONE charges through styles and vibes with the velocity of a high-speed bullet train, barreling forward at a breakneck pace, busting boundaries, and beckoning listeners to hold on for dear life. The Cork, Ireland quintet mash together math rock virtuosity, metal intensity, pop hooks, techno textures, and dancefloor-ready grooves equally at home under the glow of a disco ball or in the center of the mosh pit. This is what happens when you invite a cohort of highly skilled music nerds with all of their amps and gear beyond the velvet rope and into the V.I.P. section of the club. This is controlled chaos converted into a catchy collage of sounds. This is GOD ALONE.

Chicago’s BLIND EQUATION returns in 2025 with their third LP, A Funeral In Purgatory, out now on Prosthetic Records!

In celebration of the release of A Funeral In Purgatory, BLIND EQUATION has announced a short run of live dates this August alongside fallingwithscissors, Spear Of Cassius, and Rakuyo on select dates. See the full routing below.

BLIND EQUATION return in 2025 with perhaps their most ambitious release to date. ‘A FUNERAL IN PURGATORY’ is the bands third LP and is scheduled for release on July 18th on Prosthetic Records.

The first single from the album, NOTHING, is available to watch below. Preorders are live now!

After releasing two new singles ‘Heather/Black Scrawl’ earlier this month, Pupil Slicer have released a brand new music video in support of the singles and their forthcoming tour.

“Black scrawl is the more technical of the two new songs we’ve just released. In the video we’ve opted for a single take video to showcase the individual musicianship of the song that comes together to make this pummelling in your face track. It’s raw and ferocious from the get go and aims to get people moving. We hope you enjoy it!”

Pupil Slicer, the critically acclaimed mathcore band known for their boundary-pushing intensity, is back with a new double single, “Heather/Black Scrawl”! Marking the first taste of what’s to come from camp Slicer. These two singles are a testament to the band’s relentless evolution, showcasing their most confident, aggressive, and emotionally charged music to date.

“These tracks explore both my own experiences as a non-binary autistic person, as well as the more generalized treatment of many kinds of minorities as a whole.

One day ahead of its Prosthetic Records debut, SPINNER, Danish hardcore outfit premier the video to the track, Moving Day For The Over Window. Animated, designed and directed by Kenneth Ladekjær (@kennethladekjer), in part funded by The Danish Arts Foundation, the video is an explosion of animation that perfectly fits the chaotic nature of the band.

“This video is a dream come true. Seeing something that once lived only in my head come to life is surreal. Working with Kenneth has been incredible—he turned abstract, metaphorical lyrics into a vivid, exaggerated visual world, all from vague scraps and references. Moving Day For The Overton Window is one of the more ambiguous tracks on SPINNER, and it feels even more relevant now than when I wrote it. It touches on both the political Overton Window—the shifting boundaries of acceptable discourse—and a personal one: what we allow into our own inner monologues. The world is a scary place right now. At least be kind to yourself.”

GAMA BOMB have returned at lightning speed with more new music for your unsuspecting ears! With more riffs than they could fit on 2023’s ‘BATS‘, the band were forced to leave some tracks off of their last LP offering. However, the tracks that didn’t make it onto the album were just too good to never see the light of day, which leads us to the release of ‘Necronomicon Automaton‘. Out today via Prosthetic Records. Four brand new songs of unapologetic thrash metal, with earworms capable of chewing a hole through your goddamn cranium!
