AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE - TOTAL BRUTAL

A tribute to Arnold Schwarzenneger? No shit! Reminds me of the day I first listened to Charles Bronson!(gods!).Anyway! What we have here is the new solo/side project of  “our own man” Tim Lambesis (he comes from Greece) of As I Lay Dying. Thrash metal combined with some metalcore, short songs with catchy riffs that would certainly create some insane circle pits! Everything  is played by Tim himself, although helped by friends such as Adam Dutkiewicz of  Killswitch Engage and Nic Hipa of As I Lay Dying. Many parts remind me of Municipal Waste but also some metalcore bands like Unearth and Lambesis’ regular band. The album is generally fast but some heavy mid tempo elements are also here. Even if Austrian Death Machiine is basically a fun band, the songs make you get them really serious! Tim’s voice is in really good shape, the guitars are razing and Chad Ackermann (the voice behind Arnold’s quotes) is simply the best mime of Arnie. The lyrics, of course, have to do with our favourite movies and the personality of the governor of California. Plus there is a cool cover by Ed Repka and the production is really tight. Enjoy! Get to the choppa….muthafucka!!
