It would be learned in early 2005 that former MEGADETH bassist Dave Ellefson had convened a brand new band unit entitled ENEMY OF GOD. This alliance found Ellefson partnered with the SLAYER, TESTAMENT and PUSHED credited Jon Dette on drums, PUSHED, STREAM, BELLADONNA and KILLING MACHINE French guitarist Peter Scheithauer and Todd Barnes of 13-A on vocals. In April the project, replacing Dette with W.A.S.P. drummer Stet Howland, switched title to TEMPLE OF BRUTALITY.
