Via Metal Blade:
As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis and California frontman Ahhnold are back for round two with the release of AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE’s Double Brutal, the follow up to 2008’s highly successful (and, well, brutal) release, Total Brutal. With an appetite for all things barbarous, AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE ups the ante with Double Brutal. This two-disc goliath features one disc of all new heavy tracks in the tradition of all of Ahhnold’s greatest cinematic moments and a second disc of cover songs including songs originally performed by METALLICA, MEGADETH, MISFITS, JUDAS PRIEST and more, with cover art once …read more

Looking back at some of my reviews of 2008 I can’t help but express how much I hate doing reviews sometimes. Sometimes you get excited for a newly released cd and love it for the first couple listens. Some are great cds with good sound but then later on you read what others stated in their reviews and second guess your own opinion. Some are great at the first listen but don’t hold a lasting effect that a good cd needs in order to make it a truly good release. Some take some time to sink in before you …read more

Just a few things real quick and I’m off to see if I can find a driving range that is open on this beautiful Labor day.

Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone has landed at number 2 on the UK charts and number 1 on the Australian charts. So how’s it hitting on the Billboard Charts?

I still feel it’s not their best work and there are still a few songs that …read more

I mentioned this yesterday and I said I was going to do a review for Friday but I can’t wait that long because simply this record kicks so much ass and I want everyone to know it. Now if you don’t like As I Lay Dying for whatever reason, be it your just a dumb sh*t following the rest of the crowd that says they suck because saying otherwise would make you less “cool” or “metal”, but your a closet fan that can’t get enough of the Within Destruction video, then you’ll probably not like this for the same …read more

Austrian Death Machine…WTF? I don’t have a clue what any of this sounds like but a lot of people are raving about it and it’s Tim Lambesis’ of As I Lay Dying’s creation, so it can’t be that bad. It just came out today and somehow I missed it yesterday. Here is what he says about it on Metal Blade’s website:
Ahhnold is the embodiment of everything brutal and stereotypically metal, so he is the perfect front-man for each of these songs that I wrote in less than an hour. If you think that shows any sort of disrespect or makes …read more
