We've decided to take the rest of the year off from playing shows so I can finally finish the darn thing...

Good idea, please finish it before Christmas! (Ok, I know this is an unrealistic wish)
But another Christmas song would be awesome! I loved "Deck The Joy"!
No Christmas songs unless I finish the album first this year...that's another self-imposed rule.

Hi Guys--
Working around the clock now, pretty much (well, when I'm not at my day job)...here's another short clip to hopefully whet your appetite a little more.

That clip sounds great. The guitar tone sounds different than the debut album, but still very good. I like a little variety album to album, so that's good. The biggest difference, though, has to be the real drums and the addition of double bass drumming. I thought your programmed drums were outstanding, but the addition of a real drummer to the band, and a good drummer to boot!, will make a whopping difference to the sound of Theocracy.
BTW, I have to say that you have one of the coolest band names ever!
I'm very, very excited for the new record. I hope you're enjoying putting it together.

Yeah, I started working on that riff in 2002. I came up with one note every 6 months or so, and just finished writing it Tuesday. Now that that's done, the album is ready to go. :Smug:

Thanks guys. Those were actually only scratch guitar tracks; the tone on the album will be more refined (I just recorded those quickly for reference). I agree, though...I really think Shawn's going to blow people away with his drumming. His playing has such personality, and I really wanted to make sure I brought that out on the record, which is why we did so many different takes of all the songs. He adds a HUGE new dimension to the signature of the band.

Great that you have that philosophy for the new record. I love when drummers are given space in songs.
Will this album have the lyrics in the booklet inside the cd case?
Actually this is more of a request rather than a question

It could be a CD-R with "theocracy" written on it with a Sharpie and I'd still buy it.
Seriously though, the debut album had a full colour 12 page booklet and lyrics, why would this one be any less?
