Brandon Short Exits Tim Lambesis’ Austrian Death Machine

The departure takes place after numerous members quit As I Lay Dying, leaving Tim Lambesis as the sole remaining member.

As I Lay Dying’s controversial frontman Tim Lambesis continues to see bandmates leave his projects, with Austrian Death Machine drummer Brandon Short now announcing his departure from the group. On Nov. 5, Lambesis issued a statement, agreeing that claims of an “unhealthy environment” from the now-departed bandmembers were accurate, and admitting that it became “difficult to figure out even the smallest details” as tensions mounted within the group.
