ARNOCORPS FLEXES THEIR MIGHT AND SIGNS WITH THOR’S VULCAN SKY RECORDS

 

San Francisco, Calif., April 30, 2009 - In a heavy rock merger that has been long anticipated, Austrian adventure rockers ArnoCorps have signed with body builder turned metal frontman Jon Mikl Thor’s new label, Vulcan Sky Records. ArnoCorps’ debut release for Thor’s latest enterprise will be “The Ballsy EP”, featuring such heroic sagas as “Red Heat,” “You Lack Dicipline,” and the anthemic “I’m Ballsy,” a tune that never fails to whip the band’s fans into a mosh pit frenzy with its infectious chorus and sheer bravado.  The disc also sports a trilogy of “Terminator” tunes such as “Judgment Day,” “Rise of the Machines” and a newly re-recorded and even more epic version of the song “Terminator” from the band’s previous CD “The Greatest Band of All Time.”

 

The teaming of Thor and ArnoCorps is a natural for both parties. As a bodybuilder, Jon Mikl Thor was the first Canadian to win both the Mr. Canada and Mr. USA titles and competed against such legends as Lou Ferrigno, Mike Katz and even Arnold Schwarzenegger. Onstage, he is infamous for performing such amazing feats of strength as blowing up regulation hot water bottles through his sheer lung power and bending a metal bar in his teeth in between belting out “Thunder on the Tundra,” “Let the Blood Run Red” and numerous other hits from his classic metal canon.

 

ArnoCorps are also no strangers to displays of strength and often set up a professional arm wrestling table at their shows, challenging their burliest audience members to tests of brawn. Although a native of Vancouver, Thor is of Austrian descent thus making the recording contract between Vulcan Sky and ArnoCorps a bond of blood with both Thor and ArnoCorps pledging to defend their national lore against its pilfering by Hollywood moguls.

 

ArnoCorps and Thor kick off their new joint venture with a Vulcan Sky showcase at Slim’s (333 11th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103) on Wednesday May 27, 2009. When Thor and ArnoCorps played Slim’s in March 2008, the show was sold out and both bands rocked so hard that they shook the very halls of Valhalla. Thor has even gone so far as to praise that concert as one of the best he has ever played during his 30 years of muscular rocking. Also appearing on May 27thwill be Vulcan Sky labelmates Freddie Flex and the Heavy Eric Sci-Fi Show and frequent ArnoCorps openers Count Dante and the Black Dragon Fighting Society, who will be releasing their own album through Vulcan Sky later this year. Tickets for this show are $12.00 and are available online at www.slimstickets.com. The doors open at 7:30 and the show starts at 8pm.

DID YOU KNOW?
All 15 songs of ArnoCorps' debut full length album "The Greatest Band Of All Time" were tracked in just two days in the summer of 2005. Two guitars, two basses, and drums were tracked simultaneously in one room to capture the live energy of the band.

When we conduct audio assaults in different places, we tend to do lots of interviews and we let anyone film ArnoCorps that asks. So, it was a fantastic surprise when were contacted by urMuzic from Belfast, Northern Ireland with the following complete 3-part documentary! We had no idea what they were going to do with the footage, so this is goddamn cool! It's not an "official" ArnoCorps release, but we think it's pretty goddamn ballsy! Thanks to urMuzic!

For those who maybe don't realize how long ArnoCorps has been dedicated to our ballsy and heroic cause, we're providing mp3s of the original demo recordings of 5 of our songs from 2001. Some songs were slower, some have changed a bit, and Holzfeuer's vocals were a little different tone and style, but still ballsy. Come on!

Here they are in the order that we had them on the demo:
Total Recall 2001 version
End of Days 2001 version
Terminator 2001 version
Commando 2001 version
Raw Deal 2001 version


Vocals: Holzfeuer
Bass: Toten Adler
Guitar: Barrakuda
Guitar: Halstucha
Drums: Nagelbett

Fans of Hot Topic, MTV and christian metal may be familiar with a band called As I Lay Dying. Yes, that means most ArnoCorps fans and Goddamn Heroes and Sheroes probably don't know who they are. Well, we've found out they are very popular and are even up for a 2008 Grammy nomination. Their singer announced months ago plans for a "unique" side project where he was to release an album that consisted of Arnold one-liners set to metal. Despite being warned that this flies in the face of ArnoCorps' 8 years of hard work of restoring integrity to Austria's action adventure folklore, he still released the album. Holzfeuer was granted an interview as a way to respond, through Total Guitar Magazine's Blog:

Friday, August 8, 2008 is a day that will in infamy. Gellend Adler is no longer the undefeated Wet T-Shirt Contest Champion. Witness this stunning upset for yourself:

Maz Star of Total Rock Radio called Holzfeuer in California the day before the heroic sequel tour for a live on-air interview. They stayed on the phone so long, the resulting long distance phone bill nearly got the fantastic Maz fired!

It's a very ballsy interview:
