Austrian Death Machine is the brainchild of Tim Lambesis, the singer in heavy weight metal core heroes, As I Lay Dying. The album pays homage to the great and mighty Arnold Schwarzenegger. The track titles include such classic lines as ‘Come With Me If Want To Live’, ‘It’s Not A Tumour’ and ‘Who Is Your Daddy, And What Does He Do?’ Lambesis takes it upon himself to fulfil the role of playing every instrument.

The album makes a point of being typically metal, with thundering riffs, angry vocals and the obligatory guitar solo in every song. There are several guest solos on the album including a shred-tastic appearance by Killswitch Engage’s Adam D, on the track “Come With Me If You Want To Live”.

The album is littered with little bits of banter and Arnie jokes, which are funny the first couple of times you hear them. Also there are some great lyrics in there as well. Due to Lambesis’ experience he is able to craft a very high quality of metal and makes this release something more than a simple parody, joke album. This album is well worth a listen and one your sure to want to play to your mates in remembrance of all those great Arnie moments from years past, before he became the ‘gummy bear of candy cornia’.
