Austrian Death Machine continues its tribute/parody of all things Arnold Schwarzenegger by pulling jokes from that Arnold Christmas "classic" Jingle All the Way. Like its predecessors Total Brutal and Double Brutal, each track on the album is introduced by Ahhnold and continues his demands for totally brutal guitar solos, which Tim Lambesis (vocalist for As I Lay Dying) dutifully delivers.In its third release this schtick could have become grating and forced by now—not unlike the majority of jokes in Jingle All the Way—but the use of Arnold impersonations, Schwarzenegger-isms and technically tight thrash and metalcore continues to be a winning combination. With only three songs, the EP won't fill your Christmas party with joy, but it's a good mix up to break the sentimentality of the season and demand, as Ahhnold does, another cookie. vueweekly.com comments: powered by Disqus
