Mathcore band Pupil Slicer have released a bass playthrough video for “Momentary Actuality,” which is filmed by Nick Sayers and edited by David Gregory. The song “Momentary Actuality” is originally from the band’s highly appreciated second album, Blossom.

Luke Fabian shares his thoughts:
“Although Momentary Actuality is a relatively short track, it has a lot of different parts and I feel it was carefully and considerately placed into the album. Likewise, I tried to reflect this in the bass parts for the tracks. Using octaves on the main riffs for thickness, some slap in the mathcore type ‘verse’, a melodic and arpeggiated progression in the chorus and some dissonant chords in the middle section to thicken the guitar panic chords.”
Luke Fabian adds:
“This is a fun song to play live, and to do backing vocals on. This was the third single released from Blossom and a firm staple in the set list for the foreseeable. The playthrough was shot at Patronaat, Haarlem in the Netherlands on our Tour with Boris earlier this year in May. For the record, and live I used this 5 string Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray, tuned AEADG.”
