Is ArnoCorps a tribute band?
No. A tribute band is a group that covers the material of another established musician or band. There are no other musicians, past or present, that perform the material that is included in the ArnoCorps repertoire. All of our songs are original and exclusive to ArnoCorps.

Are your songs about movies?
No. ArnoCorps songs are inspired by ancient tales of lore and mythology that have been passed down for generations. These stories, which all help define Arno through their archetypal heroic themes, are traditionally told through song. Confusion is created by the fact that the same tales that inspire our fantastic music have also inspired several Hollywood films. We dismiss them as irrelevant because of their exploitative nature.

What is "Arno"?
Arno is the word used to describe the intangible energy, or force, that allows for the action adventure lifestyle to be pursued. It is what separates the heroes from the losers. It surrounds, penetrates, and binds ArnoCorps and our audience together. Understanding and utilizing the power of Arno enables individuals to feel The Pump.

What is "The Pump" and how do you achieve it?
Experience an ArnoCorps live action-adventure audio assault, and you will know. Some describe the experience as being like an orgasm.

Is ArnoCorps still an Austrian band?
We now consider ourselves an Austrian-American band. Vocalist Holzfeuer was born and raised in Austria. Drummer Gellend Adler was tragically kidnapped from California at the age of four and raised as a slave in Austria until he escaped and joined the band. Bassist Toten Adler spent 5 years in Austria looking for his brother in the mid-1990's. Guitarist Vielmehr Klampfe claims to be from the future, but will indeed be born in Austria. Inzo der Barrakuda's origin remains unknown. Karl Dichtschnur recently returned to the band, and is Austrian, despite being imprisoned in a basement in the French alps by a British pharmacist for the past 11 years.

Where is ArnoCorps now based?
The ArnoHQ Facility is located in Oakland, California.

Why don't you have songs about Kindergarten Cop, Twins, and Junior?
Those ancient tales of lore and mythology, while worthy in many respects, are not ones that encompass the action adventure lifestyle, which is the essence of the power of Arno, therefore they do not get represented in our audio assaults. However, there are heroic elements of these stories that may one day be told through ArnoCorps songs.

What is the difference between ArnoCore and ArnoCorps?
ArnoCore is the style of music that we have pioneered, also known as Action Adventure Hardcore Rock and Roll. ArnoCorps is the name of the band. Both words are pronounced the same.

Why do you speak English instead of German?
Since the band is now based in the United States, we have decided to only speak the most widely understood language in order to reach the maximum number of people. Also, since Holzfeuer was exiled from Austria, he refuses to speak his native language, as a form of protest. ArnoCorps maintains that the band was born in Austria, but made in America.

How many members does ArnoCorps have?
There are 5 active duty members. In the history of the band, there have been a total of 15 front line members, 6 of which are now deceased.

Has ArnoCorps ever killed anyone?
While several people have unfortunately been hospitalized due to the intensity of our music, we assure you, we are a rescue team, not assassins. We rescue people from their humdrum existence by thrusting them into the action adventure lifestyle where they can feel the power of Arno and achieve a fantastic pump.

Why do ArnoCorps members wear military clothing?
The young founding members of ArnoCorps went AWOL from the Austrian Army for their first public performance in 1989. With no time to change out of their battle dress uniforms before the show, the look of the band was determined by fate. After the success of the first performance, it became tradition to wear the fatigues.

Why does ArnoCorps wear face paint?
It is an ancient tradition in some Austrian communities to roast marshmallow over a fire to represent the burning of body fat. The ashes from the fire are then ceremoniously spread across the face, serving as a reminder not to become soft like marshmallow. ArnoCorps carries on this tradition symbolically with face paint. We encourage attendees of live ArnoCorps audio assaults to do the same.
