    Damn right it is. I'm gonna have to pick up their album at some stage. I know the whole idea of "Schwarzenegger Metal" is blatantly ripped off of Arnocorps, but still, it sounds great. Who knows, we might see a whole new subsection of Metal based around Arnold films. That's a good thing.

    I'm not sure a whole new sub-genre is necessary, it looks like their album pretty much covers all his films

    It seems to be taking off though.

    Here's another Schwarzenegger Metal band: http://www.myspace.com/SCHWARZENATORMUSIC

    Indeed.

    I have to say though, as a concept I think I'd get really bored with it really quickly. If I had one of these albums I don't think it would be something I could listen to over and over again, unless of course the music is really good and it's not too apparent that it's a piss take.

    It's the type of thing that's good for the comedic value the first couple of listens but that's about it.

    I agree that it is a bit of a novelty as a concept, but from what I've been listening to from Austrian Death Machine, it sounds like some excellent Thrash Metal, certainly a lot better than the likes of Slayer's recent output. And lets face it, there's a lot of Metal bands who have dire lyrics, and the music itself is the only appeal, so whether it's about Arnold Schwarzenegger movies or Lord of the Rings, it's all dependant on the band laying down the riffs. I think Austrian Death Machine are certainly making some good music.

    Yeah, that's certainly a valid point about metal lyrics in general.

    Well then, I guess as long as the music's good and there aren't copious amounts of Arnie sound bites littered throughout the songs then I suppose it can't be too bad.
