AUTHOR & PUNISHER - Beastland VINYL

Tristan Shone builds his own instruments. That's the first thing you need to know, and also the reason Beastland sounds like nothing else.

Author and Punisher is one person operating a rig of custom-built drone machines and electromechanical devices that he designed and fabricated himself, and Beastland, released in 2018, is arguably where that project hit its darkest and most fully realised form. It sits at the intersection of industrial metal, doom, and noise in a way that feels genuinely physical, the kind of record that you feel in your chest before your brain has processed what's happening. For fans of dark aesthetic music, metal, and industrial who are tired of acts that gesture toward heavy without committing, this is the real thing.

Standard LP. For fans of Godflesh, Gnaw Their Tongues, Streetcleaner-era Godflesh, Prurient.
