Author & Punisher‘s second single from their upcoming album Krüller is now available to stream below. That track is called “Maiden Star.”

The madman behind Author & Punisher, Tristan Shone, had this to say about it:

“‘Maiden Star‘ continues the trudge of escape and survival from ‘Drone Carrying Dread‘, but with a focus on the vital interpersonal conflicts and triumphs that exist in times of war and peace. This track, my personal favorite from the balance of the heavy and the melodic, is deeply personal and painful at the same time. The first note both lifts me up and beats the shit out of me.”
