INDUSTRIAL METAL VISIONARY AUTHOR & PUNISHER SHARE “ODE TO BEDLAM”

INDUSTRIAL METAL VISIONARY AUTHOR & PUNISHER SHARE “ODE TO BEDLAM” The track appears on Beastland, due out October 5th via Relapse Records.

"The  music of Author & Punisher is an impressive mix of innovation and  throwback — a slowed-down blend of Nineties industrial given a deeply  evil doom treatment is a delightful treat for 'heads who cut their teeth  on Nine Inch Nails and Ministry." - Revolver Magazine
  
  
 As he prepares for the release of his sixth full-length album Beastland on October 5th, Author & Punisher has unveiled the album’s third single, “Ode To Bedlam,” today via Consequence of Sound.  
  
 A robotic experimentation in industrial metal, noise, doom and drone, Author & Punisher recalls  Nine Inch Nails channeling Godflesh, traversing through dark,  uncompromising, and often disturbing soundscapes with occasional detours  into rich melodies and splinters of light. Armed with newly built  “Drone Machines” and a new label, Beastland is Author & Punisher’s career-defining statement and a powerful listening experience that further blurs the line between man and machine.
  
 Beastland was  recorded at K Street in San Diego, CA and engineered by Tristan Shone  & John Cota (Death Eyes). Additional recording was done in Las  Cruces, NM with Jason Begin (vytear). The album was co-produced with  Braden Diotte (Faust, EXO//ENDO, Neurosis), mixed by Kurt Ballou at God  City and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.
  
 Tonight, Author & Punisher will play Cold Waves festival in Los Angeles.   Following, A&P will return to Europe for select concerts with  Godflesh, Conan and more, then will return stateside for tour dates with  the Uniform & The Body collaboration — check out all dates below.
