Wicked Temple was founded in 2018 by CK Arthur (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar) and his twin brother Brandon Arthur (Lead Guitar) shortly after their arrival to the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. The brothers started writing relentlessly, demoing over 30 songs. In 2020, at the brink of the pandemic, a local musician by the name of Brad Schatz (Bass) found their ad for a drummer on Band Mix, and after a short tryout was deemed the new Drummer. The lineup went through many changes, with Brad Schatz eventually ending up on the Bass in late 2023. After another unexpected lineup change in January of 2025,a drummer by the name of Jackson Barlow, long time friend of Brad Schatz, decided to fill in for a show at the Metro Music Hall. He immediately became a permanent member following that show.

Wicked Temple has played hundreds of shows all around the Salt Lake Valley, and is looking to venture beyond the valley soon. Their first official EP titled “American Voodoo” was released April 2025. They also are in the process of recording a second EP titled “American Horror”, and have a full length album in the works. Mind, Body, Soul, METAL!!!
