Performer Information

Author and Punisher is a solo industrial and experimental metal act from San Diego, active since 2004. If you’re tracking the Author and Punisher tour, you’re chasing a one-of-a-kind performance built on custom-fabricated machines and visceral, mechanical sound. The project—led by engineer-musician Tristan Shone—fuses drone, doom, and industrial elements to create an immersive, dystopian atmosphere that’s earned a devoted underground following.

Across a boundary-pushing catalog, Author and Punisher has continually evolved. Early releases like The Painted Army (2005) established the heavy, machine-driven aesthetic, while Drone Machines (2010) showcased the debut of Shone’s custom-built controllers. Albums such as Ursus Americanus (2012) and Women & Children (2013) cemented the project’s identity, and Melk En Honing (2015)—produced by Phil Anselmo—earned critical acclaim in the metal press. Beastland (2018) expanded recognition, and Krüller (2022) pushed further into textural experimentation.

On stage, the setup resembles a futuristic industrial workshop—part performance, part kinetic art installation. Shows typically hit small to mid-size clubs and niche festivals where heavy, experimental sounds thrive. Fans come for the raw physicality, minimal lighting, and the rare chance to witness a fully engineered instrument rig driving crushing riffs and distorted vocals in real time.
