Concrete Baptism by Wolf Temple

Forged in the alleys of East Austin and baptized in the concrete gutters of the modern world, Concrete Baptism marks the first full-length chapter in the Wolf Temple Blood Epoch saga.

This record stands at the crossroads of myth and machine, where sacred Mictlan rites meet the rusted rhythms of urban decay. Every riff drips with sweat, diesel, and ritual—an invocation of the gods through distortion, rhythm, and rage.

Drawing from Blood Epoch Book I: The Urban Codex, Concrete Baptism chronicles the awakening of the Temple’s first disciples in modern form — street prophets, masked wolves, and sonic warpriests born of the ruins of empire. It’s the sound of East Austin sanctified in chaos a resurrection through concrete, bass, and blood.

The band fuses 90s nu-metal and rap-metal intensity with death-groove ferocity, slam textures, and grind-tinged hooks, creating a violent spiritual communion between hip-hop cadences, death metal growls, and ritual percussion.


Each track feels like a sermon for the streets raw, ritualistic, and unholy yet bound by unity, identity, and survival.


Temple Lore Context — The First Blood Urban Era

Within the Blood Epoch timeline, Concrete Baptism is canonically set during The Reclamation Age, when the forgotten gods of stone and fire return through music, rhythm, and rebellion.

When Wolf Temple became both a band and a cult, spreading their doctrine through underground shows, graffiti sigils, and coded messages.
Every lyric is a scripture from the Book of Rebirth, every groove a ritual pulse echoing through concrete cathedrals.

This is the sound of resurrection in steel and sweat — the new priesthood of distortion.

Wolf Temple is an experimental grindhouse nightmare told in riffs, horror and rot.

Aztec blood horror meets barrio doom.
