I have a new-found respect for AS I LAY DYING vocalist Tim Lambesis . In between being in a highly successful band, he had enough time to take something that everybody jokes about (Ahhhnuld quotes) and turn it into a full-on side project dubbed the AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE. The first album, titled Total Brutal was produced by and performed by Tim himself, everything except for the vocals, which of course were done by Ahhnuld. The tracks have yet to be released but a short teaser has been posted on the band's Myspace page. A tracklisting has also been released, and its quite great:
1. Hello California
2. Get to the Choppa
3. Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers
4. All of the Songs Sound the Same
5. I am a Cybernetic Organism, Living Tissue Over (Metal) Endoskeleton
6. Come With Me if You Want to Live
7. What it’s like to be a Singer at Band Practice
8. Who is Your Daddy, and What Does He Do?
9. You Have Just Been Erased
10. Broo-Tall Song Idea
11. Here is Subzero, Now Plain Zero
12. So Far, So Good, So Let’s Talk About It
13. Screw You (Benny)
14. Why?
15. If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It
