Pupil slicer12/24/2022 ![]() Much of the lyrical content on Mirrors deals with Davies’ struggles with depression, social anxiety and abuse, as well as social injustice and oppression that ring out universally. For all the technicality and ferocity, there is also a lot of beauty and melodicism that makes Mirrors one of the most interesting albums I’ve heard in a long time. The songwriting is so smart and so polished, and the band knows exactly when to slam the pedal to the metal and when to let a moment breathe. It’s actually these breaks that take this album from good grindcore to great music in general. Guitarist/vocalist/lyricist Kate Davies barrels through furious riff after furious riff, punctuating savage growls with anxiety-inducing panic chords and angular, atonal note sequences, while drummer Josh Andrews effortlessly facilitates the shifting meters, tempos and signatures without seeming to ever tire, and bassist/vocalist Luke Fabian holds down the low end while showing off some impressive, almost jazz-like chops in the brief but memorable breaks in the madness. ![]() The way that Pupil Slicer mix the two together is not only innovative and highly musical, but it is executed flawlessly, thanks in no small part to the raw talent that the trio throw down with. It’s not so outside the box to think that mixing grindcore with math elements would work, but there’s a fine line that has to be drawn between what works musically and what is just noise for its own sake (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but that’s definitely not the intention here). Pupil Slicer are relative newcomers on the scene, with only a split EP with Sense Offender to their name until now, but you would think that they were veterans from the sheer caliber of their vision and its execution. What better way to mix up the grindcore formula, one that is already all about creating as much sonic distress as possible in the shortest amount of time, and throw in odd meters, angular and jarring chords and wildly chaotic riffs, and you get Pupil Slicer and their debut full-length Mirrors, which provides just the breath of fresh air needed. With no polarization errors and no vignetting.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: grindcore is going through an absolute renaissance right now, and it’s all thanks to bands that are taking the familiar trappings of the genre and turning them completely on their head.
