🔥 Trending Who are Twin Temple? The band dropped from Charley Crockett's tour

Twin Temple is an American doo-wop duo known for their unique blend of 1950s-inspired music with Satanic themes and imagery ³⁷. Comprised of husband-and-wife team Alexandra James and Zachary James, the band has gained significant attention in the music world, particularly within the metal and rock communities, despite not playing heavy metal themselves ³⁷.

The Duo and Their Sound

Alexandra James and Zachary James are the core members of Twin Temple ⁷. They describe their music as "Satanic doo-wop," combining the classic sounds of 1950s and early 1960s doo-wop, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll with lyrics that explicitly embrace Satanism, the occult, and themes of sexuality ³⁷. Their songs often feature titles like "Lucifer, My Love," "Satan's a Woman," and "Let's Have A Satanic Orgy" ².

Rise to Prominence

Twin Temple's distinctive approach has garnered them a dedicated following. Their seductive and Satanic message resonated with audiences, leading to their rise in the 2020s ³. They have toured with notable bands, including Ghost, with their first opening concert for them taking place on September 28, 2019, at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, UT ¹. Their second album, Twin Temple Present a Collection of Live (And Undead) Recordings from Their Satanic Ritual Chamber, further solidified their presence ¹.

Controversies and Challenges

The duo's openly Satanic presentation has not been without controversy. In early 2026, Twin Temple claimed to have been removed from two shows with country musician Charley Crockett at the last minute due to Crockett's opposition to their Satanic imagery ⁵⁸. Crockett publicly stated, "not today, Satan," regarding their removal from his tour ⁸.

Beyond tour cancellations, Twin Temple has also faced backlash from religious groups. Detractors have sent Bibles to their Los Angeles home, and the duo has routinely received death threats ⁶. Despite these challenges, Alexandra James has indicated that they view such reactions as a testament to their message's impact ⁶.

Discography and Merchandise

Twin Temple has released several recordings, including their album Twin Temple Present a Collection of Live (And Undead) Recordings from Their Satanic Ritual Chamber ¹. They also offer merchandise such as limited edition vinyl collections, which have been known to sell out quickly ⁴.
