Get the Austria mug.SEE AUSTITUDE
The display of an attitude by Austinites (residents of Austin, TX) that their city is nearly perfect and without problems. Unlike Dallitude (which is associated with the display of wealth), Austintude (or Austitude) is associated with the belief the city of Austin and people in it are unique, smarter, and more advanced than the rest of Texas and southern USA. This flawed kind of thinking is usually associated with down-talking other cities and ignoring the fact that other cities may excel in areas Austin does not.
Unfortunately, the media plays a part in this by perpetuating certain myths and stereotypes (positive ones for Austin, and negative ones for other Texas cities.)

Example quotes from an Austinite showing Austintude / Austitude:
No, we have no traffic, no problems, absolutely no crime anywhere, and no air pollution from the cars that just sit in traffic. This is the Oasis of the Western Hemisphere. The other Texas cities have terrible summer heat, sprawl and strip malls, but somehow we just do not because we are magically exempt!
You're moving away from Austin? To where? Ewww!
You moved here from where? Ewww! Don't you feel like you should get down and kiss the ground that is Austin, you will be so enlightened now!

Get the Dirty Austin mug.Austrian Death Machine is exactly what you should hear from a heavy band.
- a continuously fast paced tempo you can always circle pit to
- the obvious build up to a breakdown you'll know how to mosh to
- classic sing alongs to pile up and sing along with
- a guitar solo in every song
And yes... never leave out the obvious key component, cliche vocals that sound really angry!
Bottom line, Austrian Death Machine is fast, pissed, brutal and every song has a guitar solo. You won't find fantasy lyrics or overly poetic personal jargon. There are only forcefully chanted, testosterone drive phrases that our sweet badass governor Arnold would approve of. The brutal songs include such classics as...
"It's Simple, If it Jiggles it's Fat" (Double Brutal)
"Who Told You You Could Eat My Cookies?" (Double Brutal)
"Get to the Choppa" (Total Brutal)
"I Am a Cybernetic Organism Living Tissue Over (Metal) Endoskeleton" (Total Brutal)"
"If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It" (Total Brutal)
"Who Is Your Daddy, And What Does He Do?" (Double Brutal)
"Come on, Do it, Do it, Come on, Come on, Kill me, Do It Now" (Double Brutal)
"It's Not a Tumor" (Total Brutal)
Austrian Death Machine is a tribute to the great Arnold movies.

You know how I said that Austrian Death Machine's Total Brutal was the best thing ever to be created by mankind ever…I lied. Double Brutal is now truly the best thing ever created on this planet (That is until Keep It Brutal comes out)
