bookwarrior An interesting concept for a one man project. even though it sometimes does not deliver on its music it's admirable how the project's gimmick doesn't obscure the vision of decent music Favorite track: Nihil Strength.

Vegvisir217 I really can't decide which track is my favorite. Night Terror or Beastland. This album is a banger! Favorite track: Beastland.

gothemmagoldman Suffice to say it's a perfect mix of industrial and doom and that Shone is incredibly, incredibly talented. Brutal as fuck and immersive. Gotta give the lyrics something too, he's addressing some real issues here. Favorite track: Apparition.

about

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 is co-produced with Braden Diotte (Faust, EXO//ENDO, Neurosis, Tarantula Hawk), mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Album art by Juha Arvid Helminen.

Industrial metal visionary AUTHOR & PUNISHER delivers his sixth full-length recording and Relapse debut Beastland. Drawing inspiration from his career as a mechanical engineer, Tristan Shone (the creator and sole artist behind AUTHOR & PUNISHER) forged a relationship with design, sound, and fabrication that ultimately yielded his hand-built “Drone Machines” which mapped the journey away from traditional instrumentation towards custom made "precision machinery." 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.
