Prosthetic

Prosthetic is a US record label specializing in heavy metal recordings. Founded in Los Angeles, California in 1998 by former employees of Columbia Records, Prosthetic has established itself as a prominent force in the metal music industry. With an impressive roster of talented *artists* and performers, the label continues to push boundaries and deliver groundbreaking music to fans worldwide.

Since its inception, Prosthetic has been dedicated to supporting and promoting the heavy metal genre. The label's founders, [a2954878] and [a=Dan Fitzgerald (2)], recognized the need for a platform that would allow emerging metal bands to showcase their talent and reach a wider audience. With their expertise and passion for music, they created Prosthetic with the aim of providing opportunities for artists to thrive.

Over the years, Prosthetic has signed numerous influential *bands* across various subgenres of heavy metal. From death metal to black metal, thrash to progressive, the label embraces diversity within the genre while maintaining its commitment to quality music. With a strong focus on artistic integrity and innovation, Prosthetic consistently delivers albums that resonate with both hardcore fans and newcomers alike.

Pupil Slicer is an extreme metal/mathcore band from London, UK. Combining elements of mathcore, death metal, and grindcore, their music pushes the boundaries of heavy music.
The band consists of Kate S. Davies on guitar and vocals, Josh Andrews on drums, and Luke Fabian on bass and additional vocals.
With their unique blend of genres and intense performances, Pupil Slicer has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the metal scene.

This time two years ago, Pupil Slicer were preparing for the release of their debut album, Mirrors, with zero expectations of where it could take them. The breakneck speed with which Pupil Slicer were not only accepted but celebrated by the metal scene - both at home and abroad - took the band by surprise.  As 2023 starts to unfold, it is a more mature, more considered version of Pupil Slicer that stands before us brandishing their sophomore album: Blossom. Blossom is a hard science fiction/cosmic horror concept album with central themes of abject despair, reincarnation and a fascination of hell. An intense month in the studio with producer Lewis Johns has led to a cohesive and confident sounding album that embraces ethereal singing, electronic breakdowns, and bold experimentation - without ever losing sight of their core tenets. Drawing from influences as diverse as Nine Inch Nails, Deafheaven, Radiohead, and Deftones, Pupil Slicer have moulded an album that is effervescent with passion but doesn't shy away from a good hook and a catchy chorus.  Through darkness and despair, there is always - at the very least - a glimmer of light in all that they do. Blossom is an album that benefits from being digested as a whole, but within this body of work there are gems that stand out, demonstrating that the future is extremely bright for Pupil Slicer. They're only just getting started.
