Austrian Death Machine (Tim Lambesis) share “Don’t Be Lazy” video; new album arriving in February

Austrian Death Machine, led by Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying, is back after a decade with a new album, Quad Brutal, out February 23, 2024, via Napalm Records. The album features appearances from various guest musicians, including members from Ov Sulfur, Bleeding Through, Wolves at the Gate, and more. Today (5th), the group has unveiled a video for the song “Don’t Be Lazy,” which features guest vocals from pro-bodybuilder Craig Golias. At the same time, the clip showcases gym life with ongoing visual humor.

Tim Lambesis comments:

“I can proudly say that ‘Don’t Be Lazy’ is the least brutal song on Quad Brutal because it’s still crushing, ramping up to 280 bpm, and features the largest human to ever scream into a microphone. Ahhnold wanted me to create an anthem that even the biggest idiots in the gym can remember so they don’t forget to re-rack their weights. Other than that, there’s NOTHING LEFT to say. Don’t put other people THROUGH STRUGGLE in re-racking your weights.

Being commissioned by The Govournator to sonically encompass the brutality of 80s action, bodybuilding, and judgment day into one album is a task that comes with great responsibility. First, I had to make it brutal of course. Then, I had to make sure to include choruses so that people don’t forget the great wisdom of Ahhnold’s words. And since it’s the fourth album, I had to really work on my quad strength at the gym to someday be ready to carry the weight of the world from the album cover when it’s passed along to me someday. The result is an album that is much more diverse than any ADM album I’ve written, and in the spectrum of heavy, it is the most brutal by a long shot when you hear all 10 songs.”
