Powerless Metal

By Alex Olivares

Triple Brutal is the third full-length album by Austrian Death Machine. Tim Lambesis, the lone member, handles all aspects of songwriting, which is reflected by the lack of diversity in the record’s sound.

The guitar riffs could all be mistaken for anything mid-90s by The Exploited and, most absurdly, the guest guitarists providing the solos all went for the same generic 80s heavy metal sound. Bland—not brutal—best describes this effort.
