Author & Punisher Releasing New Album "Melk En Honing"

Author & Punisher, the one man doom outfit that’s both man and machine, will release "Melk En Honing," the outfit’s Housecore Records’ debut, on June 30th.

The eight-song album was produced by Housecore Records’ Phil Anselmo, who said “Tristan Shone is the epitome of what Housecore Records stands for, and looks for in musical expression: absolute originality and innovation. It is our complete pleasure to facilitate such a fantastic, artistic mind and expression of bombastic works. There is no pigeonholing this man's art.”

The "Melk En Honing" album was recorded at Nodeferatus lair in North Shore, LA. Ahead of the June 30 release, Author & Punisher launches a new U.S. tour, with stops at both Stumpfest and Psycho California, where Shone will provide musical interludes throughout the three-day event.

“Although the album won't be out for a couple months,” explains Shone. “This tour is very special in that I am debuting many of the new tracks. For me, the wounds are still fresh and I think that rawness seeps through physically and emotionally in the performance. This album and experience has intensified my music for me and people will feel it in their chest as I do."
