Total Brutal hit stores on July 22nd and received an amazing response from Ahhnold fans and metal fans everywhere! The album debuted at 179 on Billboard Top 200 Albums, 32 on Billboard Hard Music Albums, 28 on Billboard Independent Albums Chart, and 7 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
Ahhnold was reached for comment about this achievement:
“WHAT?! No 1's? BRUTAL! Heatseekers? The only heatseekers I know are missiles! Nyaaahhhh!”
“Total Brutal is total brilliant” Revolver 4 out of 5 stars
“An entire album of extreme metal dedicated to the ass-kickingest parts of Arnold Schwarzenegger's cinematic oeuvre. The riffs are all pit-worthy, the breakdowns come fast 'n' furious, and every song has at least one fleet-fingered guitar solo.” Metal Edge Magazine
“full of striking power chords and tons of destruction. Austrian Death Machine does have a solid rhythm section that rivals any metal group recently or from the past.” Cleveland Leader
“There are elements of metalcore and thrash, and every song has a blazing guitar solo. The songs are very catchy, and the cheesy lyrics make them that much more memorable. It's a fun project from Tim Lambesis that will make you laugh, and the quality of the music
makes it more than a novelty.” About.com
