Tim Lambesis’ Austrian Death Machine Album to Come Out in April

by Ryan Minic | Feb 6, 2014

Tim Lambesis may be awaiting trial for attempting to hire a hitman to kill his ex-wife last year, but that’s not stopping him from getting brutal — triple brutal in fact.

The As I Lay Dying frontman’s Arnold Schwarzenegger-inspired project, Austrian Death Machine, will be putting out their new record Triple Brutal on April Fools’ Day (that’s April 1st if you weren’t sure). The album was entirely crowdfunded and raised nearly $80,000 — that was before Lambesis became infamous for his murder-for-hire case .

One of the more interesting perks of the Indiegogo campaign was that he’d tattoo your name on his ass for $5,000. We’re not sure if anyone claimed that perk, nor are we sure how perks such as Lambesis being your personal trainer for a month will be affected by his current case.

We do know, however, that the album will feature numerous guest appearances, such as Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed), Wes Hauch (The Faceless), Doc Coyle (God Forbid), and many others. Here’s a new song.
