Temple Of Brutality
Lethal Agenda
Demolition Records

Temple Of Brutality is a four-piece wrecking crew whose infectious sound stands out loud and proud. This Nashville-based band features former Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson, and Lethal Agenda is the band's striking debut--and a testimony that American metal can still be heavy as fuck. And fun. This album is slamming, track-to-track. "Hammer" illustrates what kind of abuse these guys put on their drum heads, cymbals, and strings, not to mention frontman Todd Barnes' vocal chords. Whether intentional or not, "Already Dead" sounds like the almighty Slayer in its raging, thrash metal sensibilities...can't see anything wrong with this record.
