Cartographer is an Alternative Metal band from Los Angeles. Their sophomore EP “A Flair For The Obscene” comes out Jan 31 followed by a music video for the title track. The band debuted in 2023 with “Metamorphosis”, a concept record exploring the chaos of mental collapse. Many of the lyrics were inspired by vocalist Skies Marie’s experience as a psychiatric nurse. Skies left nursing to join Cartographer in 2022, auditioning with a demo that would eventually become “Rewind”. That initial collaboration inspired several songs about abusive relationships and the importance of community. The new EP represents their mutual experience and deep appreciation for one another. Cartographer’s unique sound, queer identity and emo aesthetic is re-shaping the genre and ushering a new era of heavy music. Modern metal is for everyone.
