Gigs

PUNISH recorded and released their first, eponymous
album in March 2000 as a five-piece. Several concerts
in support thereof followed and by 2004, three new
songs were published on the MCD "Three Songs in
Mental Disorder".

After an intensive period of songwriting, the band’s next
mile-stone was a studio session in December 2004. With
producer Alex Krull (Atrocity / Leaves’ Eyes), four
songs were recorded at the Mastersound-Studios in Fell-
bach (Germany). The MCD "Four Songs in Morbid Lust"
was released in February 2005 and continues to sell
strong.

After the former lead vocalist’s departure in early 2006,
Reto Hardmeier (bass, growls) and André Mathieu (guitar,
screams) took over the vocal duties and PUNISH chan-
nelled their newly-gained power as a quartet by entering
the Mastersound-Studios once more to record the current
10-song album “Dawn of the Martyr”.

Their first European tour with the Norwegian viking war-
riors Helheim under their belt, PUNISH now stir up a
challenging witches’ cauldron of monstrous blast-beats,
blinding guitar shreds and misanthropic torrents of
hatred:
