Austrian Death Machine indiegogo drama, charity not paid

With Tim Lambesis awaiting sentencing, the drama has extended to his side project, Austrian Death Machine, with fans claiming they are yet to receive copies of the album purchased through crowdfunding campaign, indiegogo.

Additionally, it appears World Vision, promised proceeds from the album sales, has yet to see any money.

Killyourstereo.com reported in February, new full-length ‘Triple Brutal’ was due in stores on April 1, with indiegogo contributors to start receiving packages on March 28.

Online publication Noisey contacted World Vision’s senior communications officer, with the official claiming they are yet to have a “formal relationship” with the band.

“[W]ith artists and other celebrities we require thorough vetting before entering into partnerships.”

“Unfortunately, in this case neither Mr. Lambesis or the band approached World Vision before stating that proceeds of the record would benefit us. Regrettably, we’ve found over the years that individuals and businesses will make that claim, and not follow through. Our legal department is currently looking at the band’s website to determine our next steps,” Sheryl Watkins said.
