it was a great performance guys, except for the out of tune bgv's..........maybe you should delete those? just trying to help..i still think you're a great band!
Matt please, can you make a video clip of song, Bethlehem..or you and your band playing live in the studio? anything of Bethlehem...this song is very good.
Oh God... Martyr was the first song I heard of you guys when I was looking for a band with completely christian lyrics and nice riffs and solos, and you guys were that band! And now this version of Martyr is... better, if thats even possible haha O_O God bless you guys, keep rocking our lives. Val is off the charts O_O
el mejor power metal cristiano sigan asi es dificil encontrar bandas cristianas con esa calidad musical ojala algun dia vengan a chile que dios los vendiga a todos
matt should do a duet with the singer of Jorn and it should be an epic song about heaven and hell and matt should be like god and jorn should be the devil....that would be so amazing!
Yess!!! Neoclassical lead playing!! Do not get me wrong, rhythm-wise the band was already world class, but it needed a notch more lead-wise... I believe now you got it!!! God blesss!!!!!!

@MonumentEncasedInAsh I always have dreamed 'bout a Chrisitian project Avantasia-like with Liljegren, Henrik Bath, Michael Sweet, Matt Smith, Rob Rock, Johanna Aaltonen (HB), Thomas Vikström, Fredrik Sjöholm, Luke Easter, Michael D.R.I.V.E, Jimmy P. Brown II, just to mention some ones to do something GREAT!
@TheFeroxConspiratio cool...lets go ahead and do this for every piece of music on the world then...I see what your saying but its a weak example, this kind of "almost sounds like it but not really cause im not a musician" stuff happens a lot and its funny to me
Love this song. I'd love to see you try Mirror of Souls. That song is golden. I imagine it takes quite a bit of endurance to play that song, though. xD
You guys are the best power metal band I have ever heard. Anytime I need energy to do something I always just listen this song to gain some power. My favourite part of this song is from 3:13 - 4:11. However chorus is a little bit weird on this video, but on the album version, it is so fucking awesome! I wish you guys would be more popular, but you'll always have us, as fans. :p
I remember hearing a track or two of this band and hearing some pretty good things about them but I never really looked them up. I went and saw Sonata Arctica in Atlanta GA and saw a bunch of guys in Theocracy shirts, later found out they were opening and they were one of the best bands that night, Met Matt and got a copy of Mirror Souls. Power Metal masterpiece.
Awesome Guys! I live in Marietta, all the time heard you guys played @ sidelines which is right down the street. Never went. I usually work nites. :( Checked out Mirror of Souls just today, You just gained a fan! Love it! I run StryperTube and am a huge fan of them, but i found a new #1 band! :) God Bless!
Sic video guys! Just found your band the other night, purchased the album Mirror of Souls via amazon mp3 store and I gotta say, great music. As a Christian myself I love listening more up-beat metal made by other Christians. Keep up the great work you guys!
Matt, I love the raw feel of the rehearsal version of "Martyr". It's always been one of my favorite tracks from MOS. Can't wait for the new CD! TCGB!
Genial, vaya caña.
