DESCRIPTION:
"Terrorbird" by Author & Punisher. From the album "Ursus Americanus" released in April 2012 by Seventh Rule Recordings. (www.seventhrule.com)

Author & Punisher is an industrial doom metal, one man band utilizing primarily custom designed and fabricated machines and speakers. The devices draw heavily on aspects of industrial automation and robotic, focusing on the eroticism of interaction with machine. The machines are designed to require significant force from the performer, aligning he or she with the plodding doom influence sounds that are created.

Author & Punisher has performed and shown these machines in festivals and exhibitions in the United States and abroad extensively. His new record, focused primarily on the newer Dub Machines entitled Ursus Americanus , will be his first release on Seventh Rule.
