TRENTON, NJ (Top40 Charts/ Demolition Records) - Last year, Temple Of Brutality (Peter Scheithauer- guitar, Todd Barnes- vocals, Dave Ellefson - bass, and Stet Howland- drums) played several high- profile shows on the Jagermeister tour with
Arch Enemy as well as a few dates with Disturbed. The band is looking forward to playing headline shows throughout the US, especially since the album will be released before the first date of the tour.
"One of the biggest tests for any band is to play your music to an audiences who has never heard your material before," said bassist David Ellefson. "Our first shows were incredible and they let us know we were on the right track transitioning from the studio on to the stage. The mosh pits and the aggressive fervor from the fans was exactly what you'd expect from a band with our name- pure brutality! The shows will only get better now that the album is releasing and people can actually hear the music before seeing the band live."
Todd Barnes' lyrics are a huge part of Temple Of Brutality. The raw intensity of the music is the perfect platform for Barnes' words about government corruption, secret societies, and media manipulation, to travel upon.
"We live in times of extreme political conflict and tension," said Ellefson. "Todd's lyrics do an excellent job of drawing unsympathetic attention to the oppressive authorities that try to rule and control the very people they are supposed to serve. He metaphorically paints a great picture of the ultimate Temple of Brutality; a supposed safe haven run amuck with officials who use their political arena as a playground for their own lethal agendas."
Temple Of Brutality's plans to tour the US throughout the spring with Midwest and Southern legs in April and May and a West coast leg in June.
