November 7 is the release date for Fleshwork, the second LP from Pupil Slicer.
The band notes that it is not a concept album, but has a specific theme of being entrapped within a dehumanizing industrial hellscape.
“Fleshwork is a deconstruction of what it means to be human, the penchant for personal and society-wide self-destruction and systemic cruelty that seems all but guaranteed to rear its head as long as humans exist. It’s more grounded and emotionally charged than previous work, with a stronger emphasis on the failings of our world to look after those who need it the most and our own ability to look after ourselves," the band says. "Fleshwork's new image of Pupil Slicer is one that's frayed around the edges, incinerated and burned to the ground; a survivor in a wasteland of loss and decay.”
The new record releases on Prosthetic Records and is the band's first with new bass player Luke Booth.
