Hey guys, this is my first post on this board, although I've been keeping an eye on Theocracy since 2004. I think we can all agree that "Mirror" is a pretty diverse album, with alot of interesting twists and turns. My question to anyone who is interested in responding is this:

What would you say your two favorite songs on Mirror of Souls are, and why?

My answer:

#1 - Martyr, because it's very cool to hear those who have joined the ranks of martyrdom referenced as heroes, the little fiesta interlude, and the very maiden-esque dual guitars at the end. Love it.

#2 - Laying The Demon To Rest, because it is indeed crunchtastic, and one of the heavier tracks, but it touches on the very nerve of what believers are up against, the unseen enemy we all face day in and day out. (And it ain't gettin any easier.) The chorus is a gem. Nice to see somebody touch on this topic from a Christian standpoint, rather than pretend it doesn't exist.
 
I think you've pretty much nailed it on the head. There is something I like about all the songs, and it can be hard to pick favorites. Laying the Demon to rest is by far my absolute favorite. From the get go it has me. It is also one of those songs you can listen to speeding along the highway screaming at the top of your lungs. I wonder what Matt would think if they saw people doing their horrendous versions of it. :)

Second to that would be Martyr or Absolution day or On Eagles Wings.
 
1. Mirror Of Souls: I love long, epic songs, and this one has almost everything (if not everything) that Theocracy has done until now in just one song, and i love the lyrics in this one too XD

2. Laying The Demon To Rest: Long, epic, Power meets Death song, excellent lyrics....I hope that Theocracy make more songs in the same style in the future, i really liked the heavier side they showed in this one, obviously, i'm not saying that i want the band to write only heavier songs, i like the "european power" and the "rock" styles too XD
