Author & Punisher Announce Fall European Tour
Author and Punisher were in the studio putting together a new record and this week are out in the Western part of the US doing shows with Pig Destroyer and Cephalic Carnage, which is like Relapse Records powerhouse lineup. I don’t know when the band’s next release might be out, but if you were the type to see a list of tour dates like this and wonder what might be the impetus for a project spending the better part of a month on the road in foreign lands, supporting a release doesn’t seem like the least reasonable possibility. I know (almost) nothing about it, so don’t quote me.
Venues aren’t listed below, but at least some of the festivals the duo of Tristan Shone and Doug Sabolick will be hitting are, including Amplifest in Portugal and Damnation in the UK, Samhain in the Netherlands and probably more to be added, though as October turns into November, it’s less a-fest-every-weekend, Damnation notwithstanding.
They’ll be out with the experimentalist Bong-Ra, aka Jason Köhnen of Celestial Season, The Answer Lies in the Black Void, The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation and a slew of others, and if there’s the chance of a collaboration there, that would be one to hear.
Dates follow, tickets are on sale now:

The band states: “Armed with machines of both love and sonic disembowelment, we embark to spread our wings across western fields and shores, selling wares and spitting truths. Come all and share our wine, bread and vice.”
