I just thought i'd write to say a little hello to Matt....from down at the bottom of Australia in a city called Adelaide. I've been meaning to come here since the forum started but never got around to it...as i'm often at other forums such as Tourniquet's forum and christian metal realm, and also i've been too lazy to...
I just want to let you know Matt that your debut is absolutely fantastic..... I only got it at the start of this year...Never heard of it until a friend put me onto it in late 2003. I love the overall sound of the cd, the lyrics and the very obvious anointing i hear in all the songs. Great stuff. I can't wait til a second cd comes out ( hopefully in 2005??). Power metal is probably my favourite style of metal followed closely by thrash metal....Some of my favourite artists include Rob Rock, Narnia, Jacobs Dream, Tourniquet, Balance of Power, Neal Morse, Dream Theater, Symphony X , Avantasisa, Fear Factory, Pink Floyd,Celldweller amongst many others.. I also love some old power metal artists such as Sacred Warrior who are close to my favourite band ever.
When i heard your cd, Matt i notice some similarities to albums by artists such as Avantasia, Edguy, Symphony X, Dream Theater etc.... I love the influences you have.....great albums. Avantasia's song 'Reach out for the light' is one of my favourite songs ever !
I noticed in an interview with you sometime ago that you are influenced by some soundtrack music...I like that..Cool stuff ! and how you incorporate some of that influence in your music. i'm into some soundtrak music by artists such as Vangelis eg 1492, Blade Runner, and i'm getting his new one soon - Alexander. I've also liked stuff such as Gladiator, some James Horner, and Alan Silvestri especially - The Abyss, Predator amongts others... I have a friend who is a soundtrack freak for many years. I've discovered lots of stuff through him.
Anyway...i just thought i'd write this to let you know that you music is loved by people as far away as the bottom of Oz...
I recently included some of the lyrics off your cd in my blog which can be seen in my signature section...have a look if you want....and i've listed you in my music pages of my website (also in signature section)
By the way i recently downloaded your 'little drummer boy' song....loved it ...i don't usually like christmas songs much....yours and an old one by Whiteheart ( also a version of little drummer boy) are only a couple i like... the Whiteheart version is my favourite christmas song ever....great arena rock!
and i loved your Neal More review for One at his message board...I love that cd....I need to get the special edition as well sometime.
PS -All the best for the future of Theocracy...and Again - i can't wait til you have a second cd out ! :Spin:
