Cartographer is an alternative metal band from Los Angeles. “A Flair For The Obscene” EP is out now! They're currently working on a full album, playing regional shows, and planning future tours. 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. A Flair For The Obscene 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.
