Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 31: Katie Davies of Pupil Slicer (London, UK)

Lingua Brutallica

Bringing us our first insight to the genre, in this episode we talk to Katie Davies about writing lyrics for mathcore. Moving away from the ocular dissection described on their EP, Katie's lyrics for Pupil Slicer's latest album, Mirrors, offer unexpected vulnerability detailing experiences of inner turmoil and psychological distress. Their stories written from the first person perspective, in straightforward, direct language, punctuated with occasional expletives, deliver profoundly poignant emotional impact. Katie explains that their intensely personal lyrics combined with mathcore's irregular time signatures, syncopated rhythms and unexpected tempo changes make for a performance that showcases a balance of technical proficiency and deep emotionality.
