...I totally beat you guys to it. I'll delete my thread though.

 

[JayArby]

Sounds perfect. All kinds of things come out that weren't very noticeable before. So excited for this!

 

[labarum]

ASHAHHHHHAAAAA!
Stoked. What was the news?

 

[poundingmetal74]

HUGE improvement over the mixes Matt presented last winter. Were the guitars re-recorded?

 

[Verbum Lux]

WELL IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME!

Seriously though, I'm thrilled to hear this. It will definitely be worth the wait. I like what I'm hearing in that trailer. I love the original version and can't wait to get a hold of this.

 

[SeaStorm]

It sounds good!

Rawshik, I deleted the other one for ya.

 

[Matt Smith]

HUGE improvement over the mixes Matt presented last winter. Were the guitars re-recorded?

Nope, nothing at all re-recorded aside from the drums. Just a LOT of EQ and a lot of work to get it all cleaned up and clear.

Glad you guys like!

 

[MetalForJesus]

Well done! I so much look forward to this! Will definately order plenty of this for my shop.

 

[Aish!]

Sounds terrific!

Great cymbal work too!

Any chance there'll be a 3 album digipack box set out for Christmas?

 

[Aletheus]

Well done! I so much look forward to this! Will definately order plenty of this for my shop.

YOU!
You're the culprit I have to blame for introducing me to christian metal back in 2005! Thanks for everything you did on your site.

On a more contemporary note: this sounds exceptionally good!
This will bring in a ton of new fans, no questions asked.

Saw this two days ago through their Facebook page. I am so excited for this to come out. Shawn did a great job on the drums!

 

[Aletheus]

You got that right

 

[dudu]

This sounds much better to me than the old teaser

 

[Jacob777]

Hot Dam!! That sounds amazing! Did an amzing job of whatever you did to make it sound like that. Lots of it sounded so re-recorded to me, but was crazy to read that none of it was (cept dem dur drums). And man, them drums make them songs sound even more epic. Shawn got nasty on em. I'm lookin forward to blasting this in my car.

Buyin 3 of em. One for me. my nephew and my niece.

This creates an issue where I'll have two of the same album on my ipod where one is only there for nostalgia sake.

Mix some songs and surprise yourself. Rinse. Repeat.

 

[FleshAndBloodTheocracy]

Or just go into iTunes, and rename one of the albums.
Theocracy and Theocracy [Re-Issue]
Theocracy [2003] and Theocracy
Theocracy and Theocracy [10 Year Anniversary]
Theocracy and Theocracy [2013]
Theocracy [Original] and Theocracy
etc.

All possible options.

I'm looking so forward to the release!
