As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis has issued another single from his Austrian Death Machine side project. That metal celebration of all things Arnold Schwarzenegger will be dropping its first new album in over a decade, “Quad Brutal“, on February 23rd via Napalm Records.
This third track to be shared ahead of the record is titled “Destroy The Machines” and is inspired by the ‘Terminator‘ franchise of films. Lambesis‘ wife Dany Lambesis (Hellbørn) guests on vocals, while guitarists Mark MacDonald, Cory Walker, and Joey Alarcon (Wolves At The Gate, Born Through Fire) were also involved. Drums were handled by Brandon Short.

Tim commented:
“AI has begun taking over, and it happening pretty quickly. Arnold warned us about it back in 1991, and we should have listened. 33 years later I’m doing to best I can to spread the message that will save humanity. We must destroy the machines. Or at very least we should have a lot of fun singing about it.
The vision I had in mind while writing the opening riff was to create a war march. Since AI can create song now, I challenge it to write one this aggressive. It’s my sonic war against the machines, and I believe I’m victorious… at least for now.”
Mason Wright directed the songs accompanying music video, which can be found below:
