AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE released a Christmas single featuring

JUDAS PRIEST's
"Hell Bent For Leather" on November 25.
"Total Brutal", the debut album from
AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE, sold 3,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 179 on The Billboard 200 chart.
According to
Lambesis,
AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE is "a tribute to the great
Arnold [former actor and current California Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger] movies. It is a band fronted by
Ahhnold with music I wrote and recorded in my free time. But, most importantly, I had so much fun!"
