Being a Christian and a metal head has been a tough road for me, but you guys have always been there to help me along the way. Your music puts the fire in my ears and raises the hair on my neck. Thank you for shredding and praising our Lord!!!
True bro, when I hear them I get goosebumps too. It's difficult to find bands like this, although they have a Christian theme, there is a question of testimony. If you know good bands, give us a tip here. Peace!
Just in case you'd find it interesting, I've linked below some metal/hard rock versions of Finnish Christian hymns. I don't know if there are English translations anywhere, but I think they sound good, though I have the advantage of knowing the lyrics too. ua-cam.com/video/c5R51UjqtkI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Hrmt4Lytshw/v-deo.html
Glory be to God! So glad you guys have a new Anointed album from our Father to combat against the forces of darkness and to set the captives free! Thanks for posting again your new single
Is it really combatting though or is it just Christian undertones? I cant say I remember what the lyrics were about after listening. With Mirror of Souls and I Am or Sinner I know exactly where they come from but with the last album I started to wonder. Will listen to it more and hope I'm wrong.
Dude, you gotta check out Paladin (his OG band) if you wanna see him rip it up, vocally as well. Here's your first taste ua-cam.com/video/RIWmfpRnrLE/v-deo.html
Such a breath of fresh air for the band! You can tell they let him influence the songwriting process. There are awesome riffs, licks, and solos all over this album. You can tell based off his work in Paladin they incorporated him in the songwriting process. Great decision. He’d also nail backup vocals! This is what Christian metal needed!
Absoluterly loving this. An uncertain future and a broken past, yet God has plans of good and hope for all of our lives. For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 God bless you guys and everyone reading this. Keep fighting until we all reach the goal: the arms of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
This song grabbed me right away. Matt Smith stated that this is one of his favorite songs he's ever written. I agree! This one should be a concert favorite for years to come.
I agree!! I heard Paladin for the 1st time when they opened up for Unleash the Archers a couple years ago and was immediately blown away by Taylor's voice and his awesome riffs and guitar playing. Instant fan of theirs and I'm also a longtime fan of Theocracy👍
Perfection. It references Art that has existed thorough the ages. It also makes indirect remarks to his own Music. The Progressive elements make it extremely exquisite. Mind enlightening.
I've been saying for YEARS that I would stand Theocracy up against the mighty DragonForce ANY day of the week on ANY stage! This fabulous second single, title track from the forthcoming album, only serves to fortify and prove my point brilliantly!
I’ve been listening to them both since I was 12 and yes they are head and head for me my faves!!! Amazing I love them and Dragonforce In fact, I’m going to see DragonForce featuring Emerance next month, but if theocracy went on tour, I would get tickets immediately! I wish so bad I could see them.
This band is perfect, As The World Bleeds and Ghost Ship were my favorite 2011 and 2016 albums, and with this 2 singles, there's a big posibility to make Mosaic the best album of 2023 too!! Can't wait to hear the whole album.
Theocracy Surpasses the technical composing of Symphony X, Dream Theater, and Nightwish, And writes Lyrics into a message that gives Life, Hope and Peace. Best band out there by far. Praise God!
It's not a competition...Each band you mentioned are excellent! I thank God for the internet.. great music is a lot easier to find...What a great day to be alive! 😁
Worth every minute of every year of wait. You're se incredibly talented, and your music is so edifying, it's like hearing the angles sing about the magesty of God, it's like heavenly poetry. Next time you're in Mexico I'll definitely be there!
🔥🔥Theocracy is the most underrated Christian Metal band according to many of us fans . They deserve a lot more and big .. Talent and elements in their songs are immense.. the mainline bands dont even come close 🔥
"most underrated Christian Metal band" Make that the most underrated band period! When one has learned to master Bach's "counterpoint" and apply that to metal .. Who else does that? Name one please?
Dear Theocracy! Thank You guys for your work and the love you put in it! You speak out of my heart and your lyrics lead me to worship our Lord! Your songs accompany me in everyday life and give me so much joy! Thank You so much!!! God bless you! 💛🕊️
Justo y exacto ..armonías fuerza y galope en su punto...no defrauda ...soy fanboy de la banda pero aunque no lo fuera..tendría esa sensación fresca que trasmite mosaic....
Absolutely beautiful! I've been waiting for this new album for more than 4 years! 🙏🙌 cant wait to go listen to the rest right now. Glory be to God for raising up saints who glorify God in more than one way.
Being a huge fan of prog and power metal, I instantly loved Theocracy. They are a rare band in the Christian metal genre. I have yet to hear another Christian band in the prog/power metal genre that even comes close to comparing to Theocracy. Matt has an amazing voice. His sense of melody and his talent at writing lyrics is phenomenal. Liking the first four albums so much, I was a little concerned that a new member might disturb the chemistry of the band. I was concerned for nothing. Taylor is a great guitarist. His solos (and use of harmonies) fit perfect in the music. Now when are we getting a US tour?!!
"And after all the pieces fall Landing where they may You never left or chose to throw them all away" God's mercy saves. We only need to receive that salvation. (Romans 10:9,10)
Those guitars thrash!! First time listening to this band. Nice. Don't typically listen to this style of metal, but i may need to add it to my collection. I'm more of a For Today, Demon Hunter, Wolves at the Gate style metal head. But this is great.
Não importa a espera, o caras sempre traz ótimos resultado sempre trazendo um disco bem trabalho com musicas maravilhosas sempre evoluindo musicalmente
Thank you thank you thank you for letting Taylor Washington shine on this album and for incorporating him in the songwriting process! I was hoping for Paladin’s sophomore album but this breaths new life into Christian metal! Glory be to God!
Been finding myself slowly but surely, listening to more Christian music in this specific genre. I'm an atheist though, however can't explain what exactly draws me to this. I grew up on classic Rock, slowly drifted to metal, started at a very heavy place then slowly moved on to softer music. Then I began reading, and I haven't touched a book since High school. Started with Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, now Masashi's Dokkodo, now moving to his Book Of The Five Rings, ultimately his last messages before passing away. This is all adding up to me questioning why am I here exactly, and what my purpose is. To this day I still don't have an answer.
Praise Jesus, keep rockin' on the Rock! Amazing song!
Being a Christian and a metal head has been a tough road for me, but you guys have always been there to help me along the way. Your music puts the fire in my ears and raises the hair on my neck. Thank you for shredding and praising our Lord!!!
God has truly blessed us.
You guys should check out Wytch Hazel , brilliant Christian metal band

As a fierce atheist, I can still appreciate the efforts this band put in crafting solid,well written, catchy songs.
I came here from Angra and found this great band... So amazing!!!
Melodic / speed/ power = Complete band
Glory be to God! So glad you guys have a new Anointed album from our Father to combat against the forces of darkness and to set the captives free! Thanks for posting again your new single
Awesome!!!

Might be their best ever. What a wonderful picture of how our Creator puts us together time and time again when we are broken.
An imaginary being did not create you, sir.
Tell HIM when you meet HIM
Taylor has been killing it on the solos for the new album so far. Definitely a good call on Matt's part.

Taylor is AMAZING
Killer!!!

Good stuff!!!
I pre-ordered as soon as this album was announced, before I heard a single note. The singles confirm I made the right choice.
Theocracy *always* deliver! I've been listening to the track all morning on Spotify and it's everything I could've hoped 😀
Just release the album already! Seriously, these two singles you have released are absolute bangers. So excited for the album release!
Loving the addition of Taylor Washington to the band! He's a monster player and I'm a big fan of Paladin as well. \m/ \m/
I've just checked Paladin out, never heard of them. They rock!
I agree!! I heard Paladin for the 1st time when they opened up for Unleash the Archers a couple years ago and was immediately blown away by Taylor's voice and his awesome riffs and guitar playing. Instant fan of theirs and I'm also a longtime fan of Theocracy👍

YES!!!! Finally, good to have you back guys, you were sincerely missed!!!!

Bold statement, but I can’t say I disagree.
Dispite they're really good and I love their work, they're not even close to symphony x or DT's technicality
Yeah sorry man they are a good band but let's not jump the gun here, they don't come anywhere near symphony x or nightwish.
It's not a competition...Each band you mentioned are excellent! I thank God for the internet.. great music is a lot easier to find...What a great day to be alive! 😁
Sorry man Not even close
Well done gentlemen.
All Glory to GOD in the highest!
Amen!!!
Always❤
This is a great song. Has all the hooks we could want, yet also has progressive depth.
Good stuff!!!
Excelente música. Não fiquem mais tanto tempo ausentes, pois fazem falta. Ansioso para ouvir o novo album completo.
Another great song. Love the abruptness of the tempo change and the heaviness of the sound. I preordered the CD and can't wait to get it.
I knew this one was going to turn into a banger.. such a cool riff. I'm digging this new stuff so far. can't wait to get my vinyl.
Yep!!!
YAS!! I come here every now and then checking to see if you have anything new, imagine my surprise finding 2 new songs!!!!
Uma das bandas q mais gosto.. Theocracy é show demais 🤘
This band is so good 👍 Jesus bless you all
Good stuff!!!
absolute fire. wonderful. stunning. leaves you in tears. Praise God.
Worth every minute of every year of wait. You're se incredibly talented, and your music is so edifying, it's like hearing the angles sing about the magesty of God, it's like heavenly poetry. Next time you're in Mexico I'll definitely be there!

This is gonna be the best album of the year, no doubt.

Make that the most underrated band period!
When one has learned to master Bach's "counterpoint" and apply that to metal ..
Who else does that?
Name one please?
@@fooser77 world doesnt revolve around your feelings.. nor it revolves around mine, i feel something and you feel something we can keep it that way
Absolutely EPIC!
Theocracy never disappoints. Another great song!
Great work guys

Possibly one of the best Theocracy tracks. Great idea for a single

록 팬이자 크리스찬으로서, 이렇게 훌륭한 멜로디와 가사로 이루어진 찬양을 들을수 있게 해준 맷 스미스와 Theocracy에게 감사를 표합니다.
Increíble como suena está banda, una de mis banda favorita, sin dudas merece más reconocimiento
Tremenda canción con muchos cambios de ritmo , me encantó , tremenda banda igual!!!
Happy 20 Theocracy 😊
Que sonzeira fantástica.
Melodias bem construídas, harmoniosas, tudo encaixado perfeitamente.
Wonderful! Glory to the King of the kings, our Savior, Jesus, from Brazil!

THESE GUYS ARE INSANELY TALENTED. THEY SHOULD BE SELLING OUT STADIUMS WORLD WIDE
Thanks guys! You just made my day 200% better ❤😁

You say you have read "Meditations" ..
To that I would admonish a reading of "Confessions" by Augustine ..
Another masterpiece, wow.
Thank you Theocracy for this new album we are feasting on
What an incredible song. The poetry is just amazing, too.
I love you theocracy. Love you Matt. Thank God for y’all your amazing. God bless. God bless!!
muito boa canção, power metal de qualidade!!
Fantastic track!!
