Tim Lambesis’ Austrian Death Machine Return With New Single & Music Video “No Pain No Gain”

Austrian Death Machine are back with their first single in nearly a decade. This parody band, known for spoofing Arnold Schwarzenegger, is led by Tim Lambesis, of the San Diego metalcore group As I Lay Dying. They are gearing up to launch a new album in 2024 through Napalm Records.

The debut single, “No Pain No Gain,” features guest appearances by bodybuilder/musician Craig Golias and guitarist Angel Vivaldi. ‘Ahnold,’ along with Cory Walker, Mark MacDonald, and Brandon Short, contributed to this track as well. The video for this track, directed by Kurtis Murray, can be enjoyed streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below.

Lambesis shared his thoughts on the revival of the project:

This upcoming album – it is the heaviest of them all. Ahhnold told me to make it more brutal, and so of course I listened. For music production nerds, it’s also a more modern style of production than what you may be used to with this band, but still retains my thrash roots – which you can hear on ‘No Pain No Gain’. Anyway, Ahhnold told me I’ve really grown up and come into my own as a well oiled machine… but he also said to destroy the machines, so I’m a little confused…

Also, I’m honored to be working with Napalm Records! Besides Napalm having such a powerful global presence and an incredible staff, Ahhnold told me we had to sign based on the brutality of the name alone. Like 80’s action and Ahhnold, it is the perfect combo.”
