Lyrics
“Way you write”
Good looks never hurt no one
Yet they fail to
Turn me on
If you’d like a way with me
Then a way with words
Is the key
My, my
The way you write, write
Blows my mind, mind
Way you write
What a brilliant line
Can we spend the night?
Send me just a phrase or two
No one says things quite
Quite like you
I just cannot help but smile
Got me so intrigued
By your mind
My, my
The way you write, write
Blows my mind, mind
Way you write

Normal People
I see guys at night drinking in bars, Talking to girls and driving cars. They heard about this place from a magazine, One of their best friends has been. They all laugh and joke like there’s nothing wrong, Like they are right where they belong. She met a guy, they went on a date, she liked him, But it was getting late. He called again, but she let it ring. She needs a little more time to think. She reads the paper on the train, a guy stares the entire way. He got a job right out of school, his place is small, But it has a pool. It’s just a couple of stops away, He feels a sadness that he can’t explain. It’s hard for him to have fun – his mother died when he was young. Yesterday I had a life, I had a home, I wore a smile to sell my soul. My tie was blue and my shirt was white, so why can’t I figure out How to feel alright? I know this could be mine again, If you would just tell me what I need to change. I’ve seen enough, I’ll never go back, I’ll never get my life back on track. They all say so much, but say nothing at all, The world is so big and I feel so fucking small. And then I think to myself and sigh, how can you really give up If you never tried? One day I called in sick, but I was right outside, I just sat down on a bench and cried. I saw this child Playing in the street, his whole life right there under his feet. I knew that what you do, that’s all there is, but then I went Upstairs and sat down at my desk. I don’t fit in, but I don’t feel bad, You can’t miss a feeling that you never had. I know it’s a sham, But it seemed so real, that what I had to be, isn’t who I am. The man I see, he would never dream, I just took the life They handed me. I remember this like it was yesterday, Even though it now seems so far away I’ve learned much more than he’ll ever know, So what do we do now, and where do we go?
Author & Punisher “Nihil Strength”, off ‘Beastland‘ available Oct. 5th via Relapse Records.
This song is brutal, intense, is exactly what we needed to hear, it makes you want to scream blasphemies.

El visionario del industrial metal AUTHOR & PUNISHER presenta su sexta grabación de larga duración y su debut en Relapse Records, “Beastland”.
Inspirándose en su carrera como ingeniero mecánico, Tristan Shone (el creador y único artista detrás de Author & Punisher) forjó una relación con el diseño, el sonido y la fabricación, de lo que finalmente produjo sus Drone Machines construidas a mano, que mapearon el viaje desde instrumentación tradicional hacia la maquinaria de precisión personalizadas. Una experimentación robótica en metal industrial, noise, doom y drone, AUTHOR & PUNISHER recuerda Nine Inch Nails canalizando Godflesh, atravesando paisajes sonoros oscuros, intransigentes y a menudo perturbadores con desvíos ocasionales en ricas melodías y destellos de luz. Armado con nuevas Drone Machines y nueva disquera, Beastland es la declaración que define la carrera de AUTHOR & PUNISHER y una poderosa experiencia auditiva que difumina aún más la línea entre el hombre y las máquinas.
Beastland se grabó en la calle K en San Diego, California, diseñado por Tristan Shone y John Cota (Death Eyes). Se realizó una grabación adicional en Las Cruces, NM con Jason Begin (vytear). El álbum es co-producido por Braden Diotte (Faust, EXO // ENDO, Neurosis, Tarantula Hawk), mezclado por Kurt Ballou en God City y masterizado por Brad Boatright en Audiosiege. Arte por Juha Arvid Helminen. – Relapse Records
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.
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. – Relapse Records
On August 30th, Author & Punisher is going to perform live at Moustache bar in Tijuana, México, with special guests David Scott Stone (LCD Soundsystem) and Adiós Mundo Cruel.
There are no west coast dates announced yet, don’t miss it!
Blood Orange just released two beautiful new songs “Charcoal baby” and “Jewerly”, taken from his new album ‘Negro Swan’, to be released digitally on August 24th via Domino Record Co. “My newest album is an exploration into my own and many types of black depression, an honest look at the corners of black existence, and the ongoing anxieties of queer/people of color. A reach back into childhood and modern traumas, and the things we do to get through it all. The underlying thread through each piece on the album is the idea of HOPE, and the lights we can try to turn on within ourselves with a hopefully positive outcome of helping others out of their darkness.” – Devonté Hynes
