Austrian Death Machine‘s crowdfunded third album “Triple Brutal” is moving ahead, despite the ongoing murder-for-hire case centered around band mastermind Tim Lambesis (also of As I Lay Dying, etc.); who is alleged to have put a hit on his ex-wife, Meggan Lambesis.

Earlier this year Lambesis raised over $78,000 for the album via this crowdfunding campaign. A new update posted over at the official Facebook of the project earlier today (June 12th) reads:

“UPDATE!!! Neaaaahhh!!!

Tim finished all of his parts back before he went on tour in Asia. He was just waiting for me to do my parts and put together the finishing touches on the mix of the album. I’m working on that this starting this week now that I have the files. The CD should be done soon and then we’ll start planning to manufacture.

Sincerely,
Ahhnold
AKA the Gummy Bear of Candycornia
AKA 7 time Mr Olympia
AKA The Greatest Actor in the World”

A wealth of guest performers had been lined up for the effort, including:

Bleeding Through guitarist Dave Nassie
Allegaeon‘s Ryan Gilsan
Impending Doom drummer Brandon Trahan
God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle
The Faceless guitarist Wes Hauch
Carnifex vocalist Scott Lewis
Ex-Sworn Enemy guitarist Lorenzo “The Main Event” Antonucci

Lambesis is currently out on bail on charges of “solicitation to commit and join in the commission of the murder of Meggan Lambesis“; which he has pled not guilty to. He is expected back in court later this month.
