GREAT BAND... THEY TRAVEL HAVEN AND HELL AND SING WITH FAITH... i haven't heard something like this of a very long time... may God help and bless them
This album is so incredible that I have selected their songs "30 Pieces of Silver" and "Nailed" to appear on my personal list of the 20 Best Christian Rock/Metal Songs of 2011.
@Tatorox1 If you don't like the fact that they're a Christian band and have values and sing about it then no one's making you sit here and listen to it! It shouldn't matter if they're Christian or not, if they make EPIC music it shouldn't matter!
*New fan.* \w/ *Headbangs* EPIC! Wish I knew of Theocracy earlier, I'm a big fan of power/prog/speed metal type stuff and all the epic guitars, drums, bass and choral vocal melodies but this is the first Christian speed/power/prog band I've ever heard. It's so Blind Guardian. \w/
Looking foward to it. For what they stand for though, ida liked a different different album title. That one just seems like death or something..Just my opinion.
@DaBeastlyness Theocracy beats the bilge out of those other bands. It would be awkward for them to tour with such untalented bands!! Disciple and Thousand Foot Krutch are good, but Skillet and Red; I just can't stand.
@OutWithNewInWithOld I wouldn't say those band are untalented. Maybe they just have a different version of the talent of rock. Skillet and RED's strength is in mainly their orchestral rock anthems like Comatose, Start Again, and Awake And Alive along with some soft ballads along the way. Theocracy's is mainly in power metal. I didn't say that the other bands are better. I simply stated that it sucks that Theocracy doesn't have as much recognition.
@DaBeastlyness I see, Ok thats fine. By the way, If you like symphonic rock/metal with the orchestra and everything, I encourage you to check out a Christian band called HB. I recently discovered them, and they are amazing. The album Frozen Inside, is one of the best I have heard.
@bbobei I love that album too. Frozen Inside and Jesus Metal Explosion are fantastic, but have you hear the Battle of God? I feel like they just threw that album together. I do not like that one very much. Like the vocals are not as good, there is not as much orchestra or lead guitar, and there is like no backing choir, it was a disappointment, I hope in the future that they can give us better albums than The Battle of God.
@OutWithNewInWithOld Pääkallonpaikka...their newest Finnish language release rocks VERY HARD!!!...you've likely already heard it...looking forward to the English translation edition!!...I have heard only the one single of The Battle of God...my guess...because it's an English translation of their very first ever release, perhaps they never had a lot of orchestration in their original older style. Likely released it for the lyrical content first and foremost??
@OutWithNewInWithOld From Frozen Inside>>>Jesus Metal Explosion>>>Pääkallonpaikka.....there appears to me a great increase in their musical style.....VERY STRONG, VERY ORCHESTRATED, and CRUNCHING GUITAR SOUND!!
@2233VancouverCanucks The solo at the end if from '30 Pieces of Silver', which you heard earlier in the video and is available already as a single. The song just before that, I believe, is 'Hide in the Fairytale.'
These guys are the best !! Saw them live in Barneveld last weekend .... unforgettable .... took a pic of me and Matt !! Hope to see them soon again !!!
I love Theocracy. Everything about them I simply love - their phenomenal song-writing, interaction with fans, and just pure honesty in terms of their religion. They are simply my favourite band. Thanks Matt - you are truly a genius and you inspire me everyday.
To all CHRISTIANS out there if you have a facebook account we would like to promote our fan page just search "Society of Jesus' Rock and Roll Music" to spread the WORD maybe you can help us we're from Philippines, Thanks! Godspeed!
gonna preorder the 12" and two cds, one for my sis and one for me. somehow in the last two years she has eclipsed me in being a bigger theocracy fan haha
My order for the preorder bundle has been placed and will be here a week before the release date. I've heard three of the finished tracks on two Christian internet radio shows and they sound awesome! Can't wait to get this!
@ChosenNightwolf What radio shows are those? I am curious as to which ones play Theocracy. All of the so called Christian radio programs I know of couldn't play a decent song to save their lives!!!! Theocracy is so amazing!!!
@OutWithNewInWithOld It's called "Pollywog's Progcast". Episode 108 played two entire new songs from this album. (They played "I AM" and "The Master Storyteller" fyi). Also, episode 110 played "Nailed".
God bless Theocracy!!!! the wait is over! I still listin to last two albums and they still great! cannot wait tell this album comes out. So I could worship to Jesus!!!
It definitely sounds different than Mirror of Souls. That's good proof that Theocracy isn't a band that only has one style and nothing else. This will definitely be an interesting listen when it comes out. I'm pretty excited.
This is going to be the best CD yet. Not saying that the other CDs are bad, I'm just saying that this is going to be the best one yet. Matt Smith, you have used your gifts for the glory of God, and He will reward you. Going to put my order in soon. :)
