Tim Lambesis has announced that Austrian Death Machine, his Arnold Schwarzenegger-metal parody side project, will be releasing its first album in a decade this coming February. The album is called Quad Brutal, and will release through Napalm Records on February 23rd.
Guests on the album will include Lambesis‘ wife, Dany Lambesis of HELLBØRN, Ricky Hoover of Ov Sulfur, Brandon Ritcher of Bleeding Through, Joey Alarcon of Wolves At The Gate/Born Through Fire, Angel Vivaldi, Clayton King, as well as bodybuilders Craig Golias and Rob Bailey.
The video for the first single, “Don’t Be Lazy” is available below, and features Craig Golias.
Tim offered the following on the single:
“I can proudly say that ‘Don’t Be Lazy‘ is the least brutal song on ‘Quad Brutal‘ because it’s still crushing, ramping up to 280 bpm, and features the largest human to ever scream into a microphone. Ahhnold wanted me to create an anthem that even the biggest idiots in the gym can remember so they don’t forget to re-rack their weights. Other than that, there’s NOTHING LEFT to say. Don’t put other people THROUGH STRUGGLE in re-racking your weights.”
Regarding the album, he said:
“Being commissioned by The Govournator to sonically encompass the brutality of 80s action, bodybuilding, and judgment day into one album is a task that comes with great responsibility. First, I had to make it brutal of course. Then, I had to make sure to include choruses so that people don’t forget the great wisdom of Ahhnold‘s words.
And since it’s the fourth album, I had to really work on my quad strength at the gym to someday be ready to carry the weight of the world from the album cover when it’s passed along to me someday. The result is an album that is much more diverse than any ADM album I’ve written, and in the spectrum of heavy, it is the most brutal by a long shot when you hear all 10 songs.”
