    Didn’t even have to open the link to know it was Author and Punisher.

    Great aesthetics. Reminds me a lot of early Throbbing Gristle in the DIY process of the work. Very inspiring.

    Much like nerds who build cyber decks and mod retro computers and console.

    I'm a fan of his music and respect his aesthetics. But, these are not musical instruments. They are mostly MIDI controllers. They don't actually generate sound with mechanical means. They are theater props.

    It's not industrial or metal but here's an obligatory link to Wintergatan's Marble Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q

    If you‘re looking for a no man, but literal heavy metal band, check out the robots of Comoressorhead: https://youtu.be/9gMX_hR-RoM

    Not to nitpick, but words mean things, and this is not “industrial metal”. Cool vibe, though.

    The music is awesome. The article is well written.

    But the font on this site is such a pain to read. Who decided it was a good idea to have the letter t the same size as short letters ?

    It's bringing me back to the movie Jagged Edge !

    Looking forward to listening to this when I can. Danny Carey is my favorite musician, if he’s collaborating on this it should be amazing.

    Wonderful! Instabuy. Just grabbed the last Krüller CD from amazon.
