As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis and California frontman Ahhnold are back for round two with the release of AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINEs Double Brutal, the follow up to 2008s highly successful (and, well, brutal) release, Total Brutal. With an appetite for all things barbarous, AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE ups the ante with Double Brutal. This two-disc goliath features one disc of all new heavy tracks in the tradition of all of Ahhnolds greatest cinematic moments and a second disc of cover songs including songs originally performed by METALLICA, MEGADETH, MISFITS, JUDAS PRIEST and more, with cover art once again being tackled by Ed Repka (MEGADETH, DEATH, NOFX, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, etc).
A new audio clip featuring sneak peeks at tracks taken from Double Brutal is currently available on ADMs MySpace page HERE. Check it out to get a taste of the sheer brutality that is set to devastate the world on September 29th Doom-thousand and Nine.
Sometimes being stereotypically metal is fitting. I'm not trying to break new ground; I just want to break people's necks and have fun doing it comments AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE creator Tim Lambesis. For anyone who doubts the barbaric and brutal nature of Double Brutal, rest assured this album truly is doubly brutal. How can anyone argue Double Brutals pure savageness and testosterone filled manliness when you have Ahhnold, the strongest man in the universe and leader of many a mission filled with exploding chests, eyes bursting out of their sockets, and hands down the most classic one-liners you will ever hear, AND Tim Lambesis who can do a one armed push up while listening to Survivors Eye of the Tiger (its true, Ive seen it)?
Bottom line, AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE is still fast, still pissed, and still brutal.
