Due to Charley Crockett‘s disapproval of Twin Temple‘s use of satanic iconography, the self-described “satanic doo-wop” band was kicked off the country music artist’s upcoming tour, as per theprp. Twin Temple described the circumstances as follows in a statement released on July 8.
Today we were informed that Charley Crockett has decided to remove Twin Temple from his upcoming shows next week due to our Satanic imagery.
Unfortunately, that means we will not be able to perform for you next week as planned. We are really disappointed as we were looking forward to getting back out and seeing you, and also what it meant as far as bringing different types of people and music lovers together. We are sorry to everyone who was planning to see us. We’re grateful for your support, not only of Twin Temple, but more importantly of artistic freedom. HAIL SATAN! 93/93
Given Twin Temple‘s longstanding interest in the occult, one would assume that at some point someone neglected to conduct adequate investigation. Twin Temple‘s entire art is based on Satanic iconography and lyrical themes. As of the time of publication, “Lucifer, My Love,” “Satan’s A Woman,” and “Let’s Have A Satanic Orgy” were among their most popular tracks on streaming services. When Rolling Stone asked Crockett for comment, he gave this response.
I thought they were like Black Sabbath but they ain’t. Not today Satan.
Upcoming shows:
Alexandra and Zachary James, a married couple, founded Twin Temple. They intended to integrate their practice of Satanism with this musical age and culture since they were admirers of American rock and roll from the 1950s and 1960s, including artists like The Platters, Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly.
