The New Album Thread

[Matt Smith]

Hi All--
Well, we have one song totally done, and plan to record the next batch of 6 probably starting next week (first we have a little more construction work to do in the studio, and Seth is out of town this week anyway). We'll check into this thread and let you know how it's coming, and we'll try to post some pictures and video as we go along, too.

I'm excited!

Cool ....thanks Matt! I'm excited too!
Are you sure about this ...this isn't some april fool's joke? LOL!

 

[Matt Smith]

Yeah, the name of the first song we recorded is "Seven". Haha just kidding...I promise it's for real this time.

 

[Kenneth R.]

wooo

When can we hear the new song?

 

[Matt Smith]

Here's a short video of Shawn messing around on the drums in the studio; he's da man. Seth is back in town, so we should rehearse this week and start recording next week as far as I know. :Spin:

Woohoo!

I'm so glad you found a flesh and blood drummer! This warmup was awesome, can't wait for the entire album! Thanks for posting this educational video

I liked the old drummer better

 

[Matt Smith]

Haha!

Started recording some guitar tracks last night for a cover song we're doing.
And no, I'm not going to reveal what it is yet...

Ooh! Is it "Carry On Wayward Son"?

 

[crimson sacrifice]

I bet it's a cover of Veni Domine. Please! That'd be awesome!

 

[crimson sacrifice]

By the way, how come the video doesn't work?

 

[BumZen]

Looking forward to the next album... With REAL drums

Messing around on the drums?? Sheesh!

I hope it's no Stryper cover. Almost every Christan metal band has one. I fear Theocracy will soon have, too.

 

[Matt Smith]

Rest easy, all guesses are wrong so far. But that's all I'm sayin'.

 

[Webpoacher]

I'm was really stunned when I first heard the serpents kiss. I first heard from Theocracy when I was listening to a cool christian metal internet radio; TriRock (www.classicgod.com/trirock.htm) I requested some more songs of Theocracy, read a review on the CD and found out that you recorded everything yourself!!! Amazing. I'm gonna buy the CD and I'm really looking forward to your new CD.

Good luck recording!!

Can we continue guessing? Is it a song from Dream Theater?

 

[Matt Smith]

Sure you can keep guessing, but I won't tell you if you're right or wrong because someone might eventually guess it.
BTW, I meant to say before that there's not going to be a cover song on the album; we're just recording it for fun and maybe to use as a bonus track or something.

Today (Saturday) was the day we were supposed to start the main tracking for the next batch of songs, but there was an issue with a piece of gear I was supposed to get last Tuesday and it hasn't been straightened out yet. So that's pretty disappointing and very frustrating. But, at least we're taking this opportunity to upgrade the studio computer to get it running super smooth and fast (thanks to our bass player extraordinaire/computer genius Seth Filkins), so hopefully once we start we won't have any problems.

I'll keep you all posted.

Webpoacher, thanks for the kind words. We really appreciate the compliments and well-wishes.
