Author & Punisher - Kruller (Pink / Orange Vinyl)

RELAPSE RECORDS - RR75001

AUTHOR & PUNISHER has returned with a mind-blowing new album in Kruller. Wielding upgraded machines, a new sensory stratagem, and a crafty curation of top-tier collaborators, proprietor Tristan Shone emerged from the time off refined and re-tooled. Kruller is hoisted defiantly on breakouts "Incinerator," "Drone Carrying Dread," "Maiden Star," but menaces profoundly on "Blacksmith," "Centurion," and the title track. These are anthems for the decay and self-absorption of today. AUTHOR & PUNISHER's unconventional yet assiduous methods with music and machine have landed critically acclaimed collaborations with many artists, including Perturbator's James Kent, and Tool's Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor, who appear on Kruller tracks "Misery" and "Centurion," respectively. To celebrate and invite musicians and creators into his visceral and tactile world, AUTHOR & PUNISHER is also launching a bespoke audio gear company called Drone Machines to coincide with the release of Kruller. The gear company launch follows nearly two decades of AUTHOR & PUNISHER honing in on his craft - meticulously inventing, machining, experimenting, and creating custom musical instruments for his incredible live performances and recordings.
