Countless Progressive and Power Metal bands, classic Metal bands, and film score composers

Epic, melodic Power Metal with occasional progressive flourishes. Long songs, longer songs, short songs, fast songs, slow songs, midtempo songs, ballads...epic choirs, soaring vocals, pounding drums, crunchtastic guitars, and most importantly, melodies that get stuck in your head.
Theocracy is a metal band from Athens, Ga., whose melodic style has more in common with their European contemporaries than with most of their U.S. counterparts. Characterized by huge choruses, epic arrangements and progressive elements, Theocracy’s music is both immediate and deep, managing to be instantly catchy and memorable, yet revealing new levels of intricacy and depth with each subsequent listen.
Theocracy began life as a one-man band of sorts, as the project of vocalist/guitarist Matt Smith, who played and sang everything on the self-titled debut album. Theocracy was released at the end of 2003 on MetalAges Records, to fantastic reviews and worldwide acclaim within the metal community. In the time since that album’s release, drummer Shawn Benson and guitarist Jon Hinds joined the ranks, and the band started playing shows locally (including the prestigious ProgPower USA Showcase) and working on new material. And now, after years of hard work, Theocracy is proud to finally unveil their sophomore album, Mirror of Souls, released on Ulterium Records.
Mirror of Souls was mixed by Smith at the band’s Theocracized Studios and mastered by Mikka Jussila at Finnvox, and the muscular, clear production is a perfect complement to the songs. Theocracy and Ulterium Records are very excited about working together and supporting this long-awaited album, which is sure to be a hit with fans and critics alike.

We have repeated recording and a rehearsal towards last CD sale in the current fiscal year. Although our music is also a sample, since it opens to the public, if I have you hear it, I will think that I am glad.
I expect that the time of seeing your Show in Japan will come!!!
I can't believe it's finally being released! You guys are the best! I like to analyze the music I listen to carefully, and I just can't find any flaws! Your music matches my music taste perfectly in every way! God bless you guys.
Have a Great Labor Day from Anvil and the Hammer Podcast to you. Relax and rock out to some good Christian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal and praise God for a day to reflect on the year so far.
