Austrian Death Machine Posts First Song Online, "If it Bleeds, We Can Kill It"

Austrian Death Machine, the Arnold Schwarzenegger tribute/parody metalcore band featuring As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis, has released their first full song online on their MySpace page, "If it Bleeds, We Can Kill It." Austrian Death Machine will be releasing their debut album, "Total Brutal," via Metal Blade Records on July 22nd.

There was an extensive posting made about the new single on their MySpace blog (including lyrics):

"Today Austrian Death Machine released the first single off their eagerly awaited debut Total Brutal. The track, 'If it Bleeds, We Can Kill It,' features the voice of Ahhnold as Dutch from the movie Predator screaming back and forth with the Predator himself! 'In the first verse Ahhnold is talking trash about how he's going to take Predator down, but in the second verse Predator comes back spittin' his evil game. This is the classic struggle of good and evil but with way bigger muscles and more brutal double bass. In fact, I think it's the breakdown about 1/2 way through the song that crushes Predator's evil once and for all' comments band member Tim Lambesis.

"One could not pick a better track for the first single off Total Brutal. Mainly because Predator is one of the best movies ever made in the history of man and received a countless amount of awards at the 1987 Oscars (Best Actor Ever, Best Chest Explosion, Best Use of Chameleon-like Camouflage to Kill as Many People as You Can, Cast Most Likely To Go On To Be Governors, etc). Or at least we think it did. And if it didn't then it should have seeing as Ahhnold once again saved the world, this time from aliens who wanted nothing more than to peel the skin off our bodies and make trophies out of our skulls.

"Here's what front-man Ahhnold had to say about the band's first single: 'Most bands put all of their good songs first. Instead I decided to release track 15 first to prove that this album is Total Brutal from start to finish. If you like this song, then get ready for 17 tracks of punishing brutality when the CD finally hits.... or when I hit you in the face for not buying it. Whichever happens first, at least we know things only get better from here.'"
