Austrian Death Machine

A funny ode of sorts to The Govenator by Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying. Yeah, I know, core but he does core right and this is entertaining.

Got a link there ET?

Try this. Not really your thing though Toho.

Maybe but I've been listening to Hollenthon today so I'm ready for anything.

I was going to get it, then I wasn't...then I went to the site to do the Shirt/CD thing and they didn't have my size!!

Nice album cover they have!

The samples sounded promising, plus I found it used so I figured, what the hey.

I thought the album cover was funny but the music is rehashed and boring metalcore.

The samples I heard were amusing in a Weird Al sort of way. Entertaining, but not something I'd listen to regularily. Funny premise though.

I must disagree with you on this. While there are some metalcore elements, I hear a lot of thrash in the vein of Slayer and Sacrament complete with shredding guitar solos (something lacking greatly in metalcore).

I have to pick this up. The other other day The Predator came on TV and all I could think about was "Get to the Choppa!!!!! Tim has a good sense of humor.

Maybe it's his voice.

I was undecided if I should pick up this one, and I'm still undecided...

I think that I pass this one until I find it somewhere really cheap.

That's exactly where I'm at on this one. I keep going back and forth. If I can get it for $5-6 or a trade I will....but otherwise I'll let it ride.

I listened to it last night and this is my assessment of this album:

33% Metalcore
33% Thrash
33% Death
1% Comedy

Overall I liked it, not love, but like. This will not be a frequent player but I will pull it out from time to time. This is not purely metalcore, otherwise I probably wouldn't have liked it at all. The vocals, when metalcore, are more along the lines of Sould Embraced and the guitar solos are quite impressive and still remind me a little of Slayer and Sacrament.

BTW, the comedy stuff is pretty damn funny.

same here, It was funny but not that great

What's the verdict on this? I picked up their "Christmas" EP tonight. The music is wicked. The "Jingle Bells" and "Hell Bent For Leather" covers are badass, but the Arnold stuff got old quick. It was mainly done before and after songs, but there are two problems. 1. The dude isn't funny. 2. His impersonation is just okay. I have friends that do Arnold way better. The EP was cheap, so no worries there. But I'd probably be annoyed if I spent $15 on the full-length (like I almost once did). I had no idea this was a sort of joke project.

Too bad, too, because the music is awesome--at least on the EP.

I just checked this out on MySpace. Not bad, really. The vocals and the occasional breakdown are the only things that are of the '-core' variety. The music has more to do with crossover/thrash than metalcore from what I've heard. Is the whole album along the lines of the stuff on MySpace?

I like the comedy part and the music is pretty good but the vocals get annoying after awhile. One song reminds me of that SOD song about noise.

I play this one a good bit. Of course I don't shy away from stuff just because it might have the dreaded "core" word in it either. Hell, hardcore (mostly 80's stuff) is actually my favorite genre.

AS I LAY DYING...What kind of name is that for a supposed metal band??

As I Lay Dying is an American Grammy Award-nominated metalcore band from San Diego, California, formed in 2000. Their band name derives from the novel by William Faulkner with the same title.
