Because of this, a few questions and answers may be slightly outdated. UK upstarts Pupil Slicer are one of the most promising acts in modern mathcore. They may have only released one studio album so far, but that record has already received a great deal of critical praise and a rapidly growing fanbase. In this interview, I sat down with vocalist/guitarist Katie Davies and bassist/backing vocalist Luke Fabian to discuss everything from the creation of their debut album Mirrors, to how they signed with Prosthetic Records, to their future touring and recording plans, and much more. Regarding the reception of Mirrors: this thing has been blowing up! How’s it felt for you? I couldn’t imagine how overwhelming that would be. We’ve even had people saying “I don’t really like metal but I really like this album”! Katie: Yeah, definitely! We never could have expected this. Luke: To give you an example: literally about five minutes ago, I just looked on the Bandcamp page to see the sales of the second pressing of the album, of which we had 100 copies. And we had ten left… and we put those up yesterday! In Gojira numbers it’s not that much, but it’s still pretty mindblowing. ![]() ![]() How did you come in contact with Prosthetic Records and get signed by them? That’s quite a big metal label to be on. Katie: I was sending out the album once we got the master recordings back. Everything was done by the time we sent the record out – cover art, mastering, etc. And we thought about smaller labels thinking “oh, no one’s actually gonna sign us”. We originally tried to approach Holy Roar Records, but they shut down before we got a chance. So we wanted to go with a DIY label, but one that was… “established”, you know. But we also emailed the bigger labels, almost jokingly and not actually expecting them to respond. ![]()
