Author and Punisher Tickets

Author and Punisher (aka Tristan Shorr) creates a singular blend of industrial blackened doom, built on a self-created mechanized stage rig and a practical approach to live performance. Known for a touring setup that doubles as a kinetic instrument, the project has become a landmark in experimental heavy music. With Relapse Records releasing notable albums like Beastland (2018) and more recent explorations, Author and Punisher continues to push sonic boundaries on vivid, physical stages.
