Austrian Death Machine have returned with their first new single in nearly a decade. The Arnold Schwarzenegger-parodying outfit, who are spearheaded by Tim Lambesis of San Diego, CA metalcore outfit As I Lay Dying, etc., are also plotting to release a new album in 2024 via Napalm Records.
The song ‘No Pain No Gain’ is the first offering to arrive from that and features guest spots from bodybuilder/musician Craig Golias and guitarist Angel Vivaldi. Kurtis Murray directed the video for the track, which has newly debuted online below.
Lambesis commented of the project’s return:
“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.”
‘Ahnold‘, Cory Walker, Mark MacDonald and Brandon Short also played on this track.
Austrian Death Machine‘s latest effort “Triple Brutal” has been released in 2014 via Artery Recordings.
