CANDLEPOWER RECORDS

COMING SOON

Made in Los Angeles, Temple was a heavy metal infusion project by Danny Anaya, Channing Estrada, 

 Los Angeles thrash metal band MX Machine was formed in 1985 by singer Lee Kaiser, guitarist Mitch Rellas, bassist Diego Negrete and drummer Sam Monarez. Liquid Dan Anaya would soon replace Sam on the stools. The band issued a 1987 demo called Fatal Mistake. Bill Metoyer taped it. Local label Restless signed the band and the band’s debut was out in 1988. Joey Vera of Armored Saint, a band with which MX Machine was close, produced it. The song No Glam Fags became the title for a local fanzine run by future manager and label president Marco Barbieri. The band was heard on the soundtrack for the film Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III. The band (and label) had quit by 1990, but naturally the band returned in 2007 and issued a demo single called Dogtown in 2011. The Devils Highway (Sic) demo was out in 2012.
