Genre: thrash metal

Do you love thrash metal? Do you love Arnie's action flicks? Then you'll totally love Austrian Death Machine, Tim Lambesis' Arnold-based thrash side project.

"Double Brutal" is the second full-length release from Austrian Death Machine, and while this is a sort of comedy and parody project with humorous lyrics and musical parodies on thrash metal (the song titles are quotes from Arnie's movies), the music is actually very good. Although there are some modern metal elements, the music on this album is mostly old school thrash metal. "I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle" for instance is, or at least ought to be, an instant thrash metal classic. While the first disc contains original tracks and humorous spoken word fillers, disc two contains cover tracks, such as Priest's "Hell Bent for Leather", Metallica's "Trapped Under Ice", and Megadeth's "Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good" and a metal version of the theme from Terminator 2.

As I said, this album actually contains some quite good old school thrash metal, so that in itself should be enough for most thrash metal fans to appreciate it, but the whole Arnie thing is just too hilarious... and who says metalheads can't have fun?
