Author & Punisher/Women & Children/Seventh Rule Recordings/2013 CD Review


  Author  &  Punisher  are  a  band  from  California  that  plays  industrial  doom  metal  with  elements  of  noise,  and  dubstep  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Women  &  Children"  which  was  released  by  Seventh  Rule  Recordings.

  Drum  programming  ranges  from  slow  to  mid  paced  beats,  while  the  synths,  programming,  and  effects  bring  elements  of  drone,  noise,  industrial  and  dubstep  to  the  recording,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  doom  metal  with  industrial  and  drone  to  create  a  very  heavy  sound  of  their  own  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  industrial  style  vocals  which  range  from  clean  singing  to  more  aggressive  elements,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  dark  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of t he  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Author  &  Punisher  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  industrial,  noise  and  doom  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Women  &  Children"  "Tame  As  A  Lion"  and  "Miles  From  Home".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
