Austrian Death Machine, the side project of As I Lay Dying singer Tim Lambesis, will release its debut album, "Total Brutal", later in the year via Metal Blade Records.
According to Lambesis, Austrian Death Machine is "a tribute to the great Arnold (former actor and current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger) movies. "Ahhnold is the embodiment of everything brutal and stereotypically metal, so he is the perfect front man for each of these songs that I wrote in less than an hour. If you think that shows any sort of disrespect or makes me less a fan than you are, then I'd like to hear the entire CD you wrote in tribute to the governator."
He added, "Whenever a new band comes out I often hear it said, 'that's exactly what you'd expect from a heavy band.' I beg to differ. Austrian Death Machine is exactly what you should hear from a heavy band...
* A continuously fast paced tempo you can always circle pit to
* The obvious build up to a breakdown you'll know how to mosh to
* Classic sing alongs we to pile up and sing along with
* A guitar solo in every song
"And yes... I would never leave out the obvious key component. Cliché vocals that sound really angry! None of this scary screaming with makeup or goofy lows that we can all make under our breath."
Sounds like Austria Death Machine will be everything that you could ever expect from a hardcore side project band. Will it give fans another breakdown to stomp and windmill to, or will it have them saying 'Hasta la vista, baby"?
