Twin Temple

Twin Temple is an American Rock duo.

Biography
Twin Temple was formed by the married couple Alexandra and Zachary James. Being fans of American rock and roll of the 1950s and 1960s, and bands such as The Platters, Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly, they wanted to incorporate their practice of witchcraft with this musical era and culture.

They produced and released their debut album, Twin Temple (Bring You Their Signature Sound…., in 2019. The album was recorded live and in mono, to get a more authentic sound resembling the music of the 1950s and 1960s. The whole album was recorded in a day and half, according to vocalist Alexandra James, and each song was recorded live in 2–3 takes, while the best takes ended up on the final album.

In March 2019, they were on Revolver magazine's Top 5 Bands You Need to Know.

Their first opening concert was on tour with the band Ghost, at the September 28, 2019 show at the Maverick Center in West Valley City, UT. Their second album, Twin Temple Present a Collection of Live (And Undead) Recordings from Their Satanic Ritual Chamber..., was released in 2020. In 2021, they released their single "Let's Have a Satanic Orgy".

In 2022, they gained further international recognition when they opened for Swedish rock band Ghost during their Imperatour in North America alongside Volbeat. They also performed as an opening act for Ghost during their UK and European tour.

Twin Temple embarked on their first headlining tour during the month of October, 2022.

In April 2023, Twin Temple appeared on the Boulet Brothers' Halfway to Halloween TV Special

In 2023 Twin Temple supported Glenn Danzig on his 35th anniversary tour of Danzig I.

Musical style and lyrical themes
Their lyrics deal with themes like Satanism, sex, love, and also social issues such as individualism, feminism, and LGBT-rights.

According to vocalist Alexandra James, a lot of inspiration comes from her upbringing as a child of mixed race (British-Korean), and the racism she was exposed to growing up in America. Twin Temple says that the central message of their songs is inclusion.

Controversies
Alex Jones publicly denounced Twin Temple via his channels, calling them the 'embodiment of pure evil.' As a result, they were doxxed and received backlash including having a large number of bibles anonymously mailed to their house, receiving death threats, and threats of violence at their shows.
