New Album Sneak Peek

[Matt Smith]

Hey Guys--
We didn't have time to record a Christmas song this year between work schedules, rehearsing for Christmas Rock Night and working on the new album. But we thought maybe you'd like a sneak peek of some of the new material instead. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Sounds great! I especially like that it's coming "next year" so it must be nearing completion. Great news! Merry Christmas!

 

[Aish!]

Thank you Santa - it's just what I wanted!!

Thanks Matt!
Merry Christmas to you, the band, and all your families.

I hate rating stuff based on the teaser, but knowing that it's Matt and his high quality production, I am pretty convinced it's gonna follow suit with the rest of the masterpieces.

That stuff sounds awesome! Can't wait to hear the final product!

 

[BM]

Nice!

Matt, have you ever considered having the band do something more Christian mainstream so you guys can quit your day jobs? I love Theocracy, but you could change your name and do something a lot more Christian radio friendly, while still releasing metal music under the Theocracy title. Just thinking a talented musician like you and your band should not have to work day jobs. Just a thought, you could do some really good praise and worship stuff to support you and give you more time for Theocracy as well. It is just a thought, I really love your music and wish there were a big enough market out there to support you guys full time. I can't believe that most of the successful Christian metal bands right now are metalcore. Well at least more and more people are hearing about you guys.

Matt posted a video tour of the farmhouse-turned-makeshift studio they are using for drum tracking for the fourth album:

I like the reference in the beginning to Queensryche's making of Promised Land CDROM. I still have my copy. I wonder if such ancient software would run on my computer?
