We are influenced by the ancient heroic tales of Austria that have been passed down for generations through spoken word and song. Unfortunately, our generation has seen these same tales bastardized by big budget Hollywood productions. We aspire to restore the integrity and honor by telling these stories the way they were meant to be told. Join us. Become a goddamn hero. Bands of influence or that we've been compared to:
THOR The Misfits
The Mummies
Black Flag
Stone Vengeance
Skankin' Pickle
Wynona Riders
Minor Threat
Metallica
Man or Astro-man?
Rocket from the Crypt
Cadilac Tramps
Turbonegro
Rammstein
AC/DC
DEVO
Manowar
Motorhead
Black Sabbath
Gwar
Los Straitjackets
The Vienna Boys' Choir
WHAT THE GODDAMN PRESS SAYS ABOUT THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME:
"Musically the band sound like a beefed-up Turbonegro with an ominous edge, fronted by an Austrian death metal vocalist. "The Greatest..." showcases the band's unique vision that places them somewhere in the hinterland where rock meets metal - and despite being a bunch of complete (and probably dangerous) loonies, this is a victorious debut." METAL HAMMER January 2006
"... a work of deranged sublime genius." TERRORIZER Magazine
January 2006
"If a band is going to call their album something like The Greatest Band Of All Time, when it comes to giving the CD a spin they better be able to back it up with some serious content. Do ArnoCorps deliver on the promise of being a great band? You'd better believe it." ZERO TOLERANCE Magazine
January 2006
"In contrast to Governor Schwarzenegger himself -- who got his ass handed to him by a bunch of nurses and schoolteachers -- ArnoCorps remains dominant, rousing, and thoroughly hilarious." EAST BAY EXPRESS

December 2005
"ArnoCorps are not an Arnold Schwarzenegger tribute band. Do you understand? ArnoCorps sing punk metal songs about old Austrian folk tales, which Arnold has since bastardised for his own commercial gain" BIZARRE Magazine

Fook Q101, Chicago's Alternative
Jan 2005
"What does "the world's only action adventure hardcore rock & roll band" sound like? Aggressive and fast" MAXIM BLENDER Magazine
Nov 2004
"ArnoCorps shows deliver a delightful mix of hardcore punk and calisthenics: The crowd finds itself ordered to run in place, do jumping jacks, and, should the impulse strike, drop to the ground and pound out a few one-handed push-ups." Feature Story in EAST BAY EXPRESS
Dec 2003
"The six renegade Austrians that make up San Franciscan punk band ArnoCorps could just be the sanest men in the State." BANG Magazine UK
Jan 2004

we had a fine time in manchester on saturday, we were the crew totally dressed in camo. Thankyou for coming over, we have broken bones, cuts bruises and scars. We however have total recall for the best band on this earth. andy x
arrrrgh I cant beliveee it! The London show sold out and I missed you guys again (thats twice now, 3rd time lucky i'm hoping!)
At least I got to chat with a few of you guys in the bar briefly beforehand and let me tell you something, you're just as goddamn ballsy in real life as you are on a track. Even though I couldn't see you, i'm happy that you got to play a sold out show because you're an awesome bunch of guys.
Good luck with the rest of the tour, you goddamn heroes!
That was some goddamn ballsy show you guys put on last night. Sorry if I headbutted Holzfeuer in the nuts a few times, I tried to restrain my headbanging whenever I noticed they were right next to my head. See you goddamn heroes next time around!!!!!
ArnoCorps... Los Mendozas do not get to play with you this time round...we see this as the ultimate in disrespect towards our cause...we are beginning to think that you yourselves may well be Japanese Tiger Mask sympathisers...
Time will tell, amigos...time will fucking tell...
You're UK tour officially begins on the 4th of July. I'll be seeing Dethklok that night, thinking, "Wow, this is nowhere near as ballsy as ARNOCORPS. What is wrong with these girly men? The United Kingdom had better cherish the next two weeks!"
