A review of AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE's new one, Double Brutal, can be found here:

An excerpt:
"As I Lay Dying girlie man Tim Lambesis shred-happy Ode To Arnold continues, picking up where Austrian Death Machines 2007 debut Total Brutal left off. More of the same out-of-control Suicidal Tendencies mile-a-minute Slipknot skate punk glorifying Mr. Schwarzeneggers cinematic career, all tied together by grin-worthy between-song banter (provided by Josh Robert Thompson). Call it the thrash version of a Conan OBrien skit gone mad guaranteed to muscle the funnybone of anyone with a background in Arnie, bottom line being you cant in all fairness carve on something done in the interest of having a bit of fun with the noise. And Lambesis is having a riot. Lead track I Need Your Boots, Your Clothes, And Your Motorcycle is one of the ADMs strongest songs to date, showing off his head for dynamics within the mayhem (he writes, sings and plays almost everything except for the solos), something that has been improved upon since the debut. Who Told You You Could Eat My Cookies? sits at the other end of the spectrum, all piss and vinegar and Machine Head-ness."
Cheers!
