As previously reporetd, Metal Blade Records recently issued the following Austrian Death Machine press release:

The heaviest metal band in the world (by sheer mass) has finished their follow up to Total Brutal - get ready for Double Brutal!

Not satisfied with the limitations offered by putting out a single disc album, Ahhnold demanded two full CDs full of muscle pumping metal! When asked why they needed two discs and why he thought that was best, he quickly replied, “Two discs made it heavy and brutal enough to crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentations of their women!!!”

Double Brutal is packed with more “juice” than a professional athlete. Disc One features soon to be classics 'See You At The Party Richter', and 'Let Off Some Steam Bennett'. Disc Two is crammed full of metal covers, complete with Ahhnold’s take on them, including METALLICA's 'Trapped Under Ice' and 'Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good' by none other than MEGADETH.

Austrian Death Machine guitarist, bassist, drummer and vocalist, Tim Lambesis adds: “Most bands sit around in a rehearsal room for a few years to put out a 10 song album and do a tour supporting that release. I've been a busy touring with As I Lay Dying and traveled everywhere this year besides Antarctica, but in the five minutes that I was home between tours I decided to put together a double disc of Ahhnold inspired brutality called Double Brutal. Also, Ed Repka (the legend behind the artwork for Megadeth) did an amazing job on this album cover.”
