Austrian Death Machine are back with their first single in nearly a decade. This parody band, known for spoofing Arnold Schwarzenegger, is led by Tim Lambesis, of the San Diego metalcore group As I Lay Dying. They are gearing up to launch a new album in 2024 through Napalm Records.
The debut single, "No Pain No Gain," features guest appearances by bodybuilder/musician Craig Golias and guitarist Angel Vivaldi. 'Ahnold,' along with Cory Walker, Mark MacDonald, and Brandon Short, contributed to this track as well. The video for this track, directed by Kurtis Murray, can be enjoyed via YouTube here.
Lambesis shared his thoughts on the revival of the project: "This upcoming album – it is the heaviest of them all. Ahhnold told me to make it more brutal, and so of course I listened. For music production nerds, it’s also a more modern style of production than what you may be used to with this band, but still retains my thrash roots – which you can hear on ‘No Pain No Gain’. Anyway, Ahhnold told me I’ve really grown up and come into my own as a well oiled machine… but he also said to destroy the machines, so I’m a little confused…
Also, I’m honored to be working with Napalm Records! Besides Napalm having such a powerful global presence and an incredible staff, Ahhnold told me we had to sign based on the brutality of the name alone. Like 80’s action and Ahhnold, it is the perfect combo.”
AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE, the unmissable project of As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis, launched 15 years ago as a one man band - triumphing as the metal scene’s newest obsession with their 2008 debut album, Total Brutal. After releasing two more acclaimed albums in 2009 and 2014, the one man band did the impossible - they broke up. After a decade of regrowth and rebirth, and with the help of good friends by his side, Lambesis finally felt inspired to work on new music for the project - eventually emerging as the collaborative, recharging effort it was always meant to be. Now, the band prepares for the release of their upcoming fourth album, currently circling a 2024 release date.
