Theocracy - I AM

[holypowermetal]

I would like to buy the album but in my country all the music stores sell only shit :(

[ChickenMuppet]

@draumurionlanwmower No thanks, i'll respect science and humble doubt, however I love these guys for making good music. Lets just rock out and enjoy it for what it is.

[creoleman]

This is one of the most powerful songs that I have ever heard in my life. I get goosebumps every time I hear the words "I AM the lamb upon the altar dying willingly."

[EYEMCANADIAN]

wow. all i can say is Amen!

[DaianeRamosdosSantos]

Rock de qualidade e o que é melhor ainda...falando sobre o Grande Deus!!!!!!!!!

[RangedUnit7]

Nobody ever wins when you argue about religion. Do you honestly think a comment on a youtube video will make someone question their beliefs? lol. This is such a sick album.

[skreedom222]

@RangedUnit7 yeah, seriously now.

[ChickenMuppet]

Christianity is still retarded if you think about it rationally for a minute, but well done Theocracy. Just like Blind Guardian sing about JRR Tolkien stories, youve made a good album off of fairy tales. Keep it up boys.

[DraumurionLawnmower]

@ChickenMuppet You would be suprised what you and 7 billion other people owe to Christianity. Have some respect.

[Bloodbounded]

Genialer Song, geniales Album, hab ich mir direkt schenken lassen! Stellt fast alles andere in den Schatten!

[coryenderby]

Are you kidding me? This is most excellent!

[GianvaLB]

awesome, awesome and awesome, music and lyrics.

[Pentero]

Awesome song, if we ignore the bullshit Christian text.

[10thStormClad]

This is a magnificient portrayal of the fact that God can use all types of music to his glory. Keep rocking and praising, Theocracy. Lord Jehovah sees your heart and how you use your blessings(talents).

[casemanprice]

Most amazing lyrics ever makes me wanna cry just chills me to the bone

[casemanprice]

These guys rule!!!

[edd3cityzen]

the song should be released as a bonus cd along with the Bible

[SonicHomicide]

Shocking how 11 minutes with this song seem like 11 seconds. It's a true masterpiece!

[ChalkTalkTV]

This is the best song I have ever heard.

[derrickc1975]

AMAZING SONG! The section starting at 9:21 has to be the most epic Christian lyrics EVER put to music, especially at the transition into the up tempo part at around 9:58. My jaw drops every time! :)

[imperator219]

awesome!!!!!

[Astralpsycho]

<2 THIS IS AWESOME! <3 The lyrics is mesmerizing! <3

[unicorn333777]

AWESOME!!!



[PowerQuest666]

just got the album a few weeks ago and its the best thing I ever bought! I love the lyrics they are bonechilling fantastic and are so true, the art work as well shows the scene of it all but this album is a fit for any metal collection! \m/

[KerberosDraconian]

This is my name forever, the name you shall call me  from generation to generation. I am Who I am ! [ Exodus 3 : 15 ]

[ultrec]

@TylerNeeb3 : "This song is sweet! But you if you want this song from itunes you have to buy the whole album kind of stinks."

FYI, that's ITunes and Amazon policy for songs longer than 10 minutes. Nothing we can do about it :( But the whole album is worth it, trust us! Check out Nailed and 30 Pieces of Silver which we've also posted to YouTube \m/

[Joshpb80]

This band has totally spoiled my ears. I can't even enjoy listening to many of the other bands that I use to like

[clovesgr3yw01f]

Really great song. Great to hear a voice like that with the driving force of the music. Not heard much like that in all my 42 1/2 years. Great song.

[pmusicmaker]

I praise the God of all creation through this gifted music. The lyrics give me chills. The Lord can work mightily through these guys and I pray He does. Its so great to read how all the non-christians are like "wow this is great!" The Lord is doing a work!

[LWRCftw]

heavier than mirror of souls.

[TylerNeeb3]

This song is sweet! But you if you want this song from itunes you have to buy the whole album kind of stinks..

[littlejeterfreak2]

I can't stop listening to this song! Some of the most amazing lyrics that I have ever heard.

[RAWWRIMAPIRATE]

This song sounds like DragonForce :D

[Valdir1277]

like music

[THEPOWERMETALNINJA]

God head-bangs to this

[UdoLordi]

Why were the lyrics removed?

[MrJojoxD]

tr00

[leonardobrasilbh]

Fantástica!!

[JoCooL69]

I am not religious but I think these guys are amazing! Amazing vocals, great guitar work just awesome music! Maybe "Metal" is my religion

[Ethiokarate1]

@JoCooL69 religion is nothing more than a systematic set of rules with someone your told "said so"

we follow jesus, ya someone told me about him but i believe in him with faith, and honestly it doesnt feel like a religion to me, it feels like im just part of a bigger , family, dont look at christianity as religion, look at christianity as wat jesus did, just think about what jesus did, his humbleness, how we must harness his charectoristics to the best of our abilities

[JoCooL69]

@Ethiokarate1

Like I said...the music is what I'm talking about...I like the way it sounds...I like the vocals and the lyrics don't bother me like they would perhaps another person that wouldn't listen to it at all because of the lyrics...as far as how you view things differently than I should not have anything to do with what I said...I still find the band amazing...otherwise....but thanks anyways

[arthemispower]

One of the best songs ever!!!! Lyrics and music, has everything, power, feelinn, speed, bombastic, relax, catchy en epic chorus....Celestial Song!

[methshin1]

Glad the followed up Mirror of Souls with such a standout album.

[JoshuaRead]

Unbelievably good in every area.

[voraciousvegetables]

I don't think this is a song... it's more like the first movement of a symphony.

[plateddrag0n]

Damn i love this song

[earlysda]

But God's love is not unconditional.

[voraciousvegetables]

@earlysda Well, I look at my own life and most of my actions amount to spitting in God's face...and yet according to Christianity God himself still chose to pay the price for my behavior. Not sure why he would do something like that when all we do is spite him, except for a love...that was and is dispensed independently of behavior - a free gift.

[earlysda]

@voraciousvegetables Amen and amen. My life is like that too. Please understand that while God's love is unmerited, it is not unconditional (Hosea 9:15, Psalm 5:5-6, 2Chronicles 19:1-2 etc.) "God's love is unconditional" leads straight into universalism, so we need to be careful about the words we use to describe God.

May we see Jesus in the clouds soon! :)

[konekoanni]

As a power metal fan, I am quite taken with these guys, regardless of their being Christian or not. I am not Christian myself but I can appreciate the musicality and talent of these guys. The music is very good, their new guitarist is great, and I think they are a legitimate addition to the power metal scene. Great job, guys! This atheist likes you, so I guess you're doing something right.

[FredSheth]

Glory for the eternity empire of the God!

[LtZerge]

Just like to say, even as an Atheist, I find this is a well made song.

Dig their style.

Obviously the song isn't geared towards per-say me, but neither is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Taste is funny like that.

[iexist91]

Erm, best song ever made? :D

[LOKOXJ3SUS]

My Favorite Song So Far.

[icedragon769]

I think this is the first song that has given me real catharsis. Absolutely incredible.

[isaiahperrry]

@luke666808g There name is theocracy because They govern over there music in the grace of God.

[Quellecair7]

awesome song from an excellent album - an album absolutely worthy to be purchased!!!

[SimonsenM]

Soo awesome

[roby020604]

awesome

[theMichasPL]

The best from album, thanks to God for such a great band! :D

[Jnx86]

Awesome album ill have to say. Hope we see more Theocracy in future. Last album Mirror of souls got my personal 10/10.

[HookedOnHaley]

After the 7yr Tribulation, when The LORD Jesus Christ returns from Heaven with His heavenly hosts, and after casting Lucifer into the bottomless pit, Christ will establish His Theocracy for 1000yrs.

In the Millennium,(1000yr reign of Jesus Christ on earth from Jerusalem) He will realize, (receive by right) the promise, prophesied through out the Bible in relation to,The Nation of Israel's Kingdom of Heaven on Earth program.

(Read it in Zechariah 14:4-9 & Revelations 19 & 20)

Keep looking up!

[luke666808g]

isn't it weird for a Christian band to be called Theocracy? No sensible person wants this form of government, so it seems more like the name of an anti-religious band.

[Spartanjames170]

@luke666808g even if they didnt explain it already it could simply being ironic. ironic names are usually memorable ones. doesnt mean they actually support a theocracy

[dutchmcgee101]

this is song i so EPIIIIIIICCCCCCCC.

[GlacialHorizon]

I'm going to need to go into town and see if I can get the album soon.

[Toddbeloved]

I've been looking for a Christian band that played real legit music with sound Christian music for the longest time! I really hope you guys start getting big I will support you!

[Fuzykamper]

Brazil Needs Theocracy!! \o/

God Bless your music!!

[harrypotter1479]

5:44

[harrypotter1479]

1:45 Singing starts

[casemanprice]

Awesome headbanging to this

[ChristsDanimal777]

@dickburnsrocks equally "Epic" is your assesment, how fortunate you must be to sit around on youtube and listen to music that sucks and then leave inluminating commentary...thank you for your contribution!!!

[harrypotter1479]

9:20

[ultrec]

@hybridshadowx: thank you for your efforts to spread the word about Theocracy! In then end, the band has to decide when to make its new music available in a way that encourages more people to buy it and less people to steal it. It's not that we don't appreciate your efforts - we do - it's just a business decision on how we think we can best finance a music video, tour more, and create a fourth album (which I'm sure we all want!). Thanks!!!

[hybridshadowx]

Upload this song myself and it gets deleted. Band uploads it and it's cool. o: oh well, as long as it's on here, I don't care.

[ultrec]

@LL2107: right now Ulterium Records is allowing three songs from the album (I AM, Nailed, and 30 Pieces of Silver) on YouTube, as well as a teaser that has parts of all 10 songs. Please buy the album to hear the rest :) Your purchase will help the band produce a music video, tour more, and create a fourth album! \m/

[shadowBRANdon52]

one of my favorite power metal christian bands form GA in athens.

[LL2107]

great song,i just cant stop listening to this ...epic band! \m/_(^_^)_\m/

PS.

Upload more of their songs from new album! ^^

[TheCursedChosen1]

I can make a little observation here. On the singing part at 6:13, you hear three distinct voices. However all those voices are Matt Smith's. Same thing applies to the belief in 3 distinct Persons, yet those Persons are one God.

[arthemispower]

Masterpiece!!

[pedrohadek]

The last minute of this song is mind blowingly amazing. I picked this album by accident, and is no doubt the best mistake I made the whole year.

[VsophieV]

The best.

[SirLuke3375]

simply avesome

[quadrupleplay]

Out of all the list of "I am" statements, the only thing missing is "I am the table." For better or for worse?

[gustavomadrigalduran]

And God said: "I AM that I AM" <3 

[Scuzyman]

Wish this was at Bestbuy yesterday, I would have bought it!

[AnthrozilWarroir3]

Then I said, "Dude, the song covers ALL of the 11 minutes??"

[AnthrozilWarroir3]

This is what I said on Facebook about it:

"Man, I can hear some of this music in a video game soundtrack, or the song in the end credits (or "inspired by" soundtrack) of a modern movie. =D Soooo epic!"

[PhoenixPhire22]

Best song on the album IMO.... Praise God it's finally on youtube, I can show it to my internet buddies now =D Love the album, love the band, hope for many more albums to come! They need to tour in America though!

[icedragon769]

This band does it all, huh? I especially like the Blind Guardian style dubbing and midieval riff around 5:20 :)

[girluscharismaticus]

I really love this band :))

[joushpop]

there should be a dance to this song

[joushpop]

just awsome just the best



[theocracy7]

[sjam72]

[LygonFib]

Favorite song right now - love it!!!! Very well written lyrics, great concept, moving music, and a chorus that keeps me coming back for more. Great job Theocracy and Matt Smith! Everyone go to Amazon and review this great album, bands like this need great supporters to keep them going!
