Welcome To The Gym!

Alternative Tentacles

Alternative Tentacles Records is pumped to announce the release of “Welcome To The Gym”, featuring two brand new songs from ArnoCorps, the self-proclaimed Greatest Band of All Time and inventors of Action-Adventure Hardcore Rock ‘n’ Roll. The 7-inch vinyl and digital release solidifies the band’s recently expanded lineup. Closing in on two decades as an active band, the “Austro-Californians” of ArnoCorps have consistently met with critical acclaim and frequent sell-out crowds from “San Fran-tastic” California to Great Britain and beyond. The group was founded to combat what they have deemed “cinematic Austroploitation”, including films featuring their fellow Austrian expat, Arnold Schwarzenegger. ArnoCorps claims that each film is actually unabashedly pilfered by Schwarzenegger from ancient Austrian folklore, then shamelessly bastardized by Hollywood moguls.   Having already restored integrity to timeless heroic lore such as “Terminator”, “Commando”, “Running Man”, and “Total Recall” with past releases, ArnoCorps turns back the clock to the Arnold of the 1970’s with their latest songs: “Scavenger Hunt” and “Dead Lift”. The transformative power and creativity of the group is truly showcased here as a campy comedy and embarrassing guest role on The Streets of San Francisco are ironically given new life as inspirational songs, one promoting the joy and benefits of physical fitness, the other an anti-bullying anthem for body positivity.   As with all of their releases, ArnoCorps successfully combines the best of both punk and metal influences that very few other bands have been able to. Adorned in trademark black combat uniforms and face...

The Greatest Band Of All Time

Alternative Tentacles

Throughout the history of mankind, the stories most often told through song are those of great deeds and fantastic adventures. ArnoCorps carries on the tradition by bringing to audiences original musical interpretations of ancient Austrian lore and mythology, such as Terminator, Commando, Predator, Total Recall and True Lies. In doing so, ArnoCorps has created a new genre of music: Action Adventure Hardcore Rock ’n’ Roll!  Since their arrival in the burgeoning San Francisco Bay Area music scene in 2001, ArnoCorps have celebrated the principles of the action-adventure lifestyle through their music. Beyond the distinctively accented delivery of lead vocalist Holzfeuer, the dual guitars of Vielmehr Klampfe and Inzo der Barrakuda are counterbalanced by the backbone rhythm section of brothers Toten Adler on bass and Gellend Adler on drums. Their collective on-stage energy incites their crowds to join in the screaming of quotes from ancient lore, such as “Kill me now!” and “Get your ass to Mars!” and “Stick around!” In time for their fourth saga-inspiring tour of the United Kingdom in July 2014, following up epic adventures in 2006, 2008, and 2012, Alternative Tentacles releases The Greatest Band of All Time on vinyl for the first time ever. Originally released on CD in 2005, and out of physical print since 2009, the album originally sold 1,000 copies in the US, and 8,000 in the UK and Europe. Many listeners of this mighty tome claim to have experienced increased muscle mass, a better understanding of life’s mysteries, and feeling like...

Two More!

Alternative Tentacles

Often imitated, never duplicated, the action-adventure rock pioneers ArnoCorps are back!  Returning to their patented “Heroic Symmetry” lineup, the legendary ensemble delivers two pump-inducing tunes that fight back against the Austroploitation films of the ’70s. From the opening chords of “Pumping Iron,” none can resist the call to increase their muscle mass to heroic proportions! The ballsy assault of “Stay Hungry” follows, and will leave listeners hungering for more. Together, these instant classics provide clues to the riddle of steel as they motivate not only in the gym, but in life itself. In time for their fourth saga-inspiring tour of the United Kingdom this July, the previously digital-only single Two More! appears on vinyl for the first time ever, courtesy of Alternative Tentacles. Now, “Come on! Get serious! Exactly!” First 100 on clear vinyl!!!!
