Well, believe it or not the studio computer died again (we’d already replaced the motherboard and most of the guts after several mishaps). No worries, the hard drives are fine so we didn’t lose any work or anything, it’s just annoying because Saturday was supposed to be the big day to start tracking the rest of the drums, but now there’s yet another setback..
This is getting ridiculous; you wouldn’t believe some of the stuff that is going on. One of my best friends said, “Man, it seems to me like some forces are trying to keep this album from coming out. Maybe that means there are great things in store for it.” I’m not usually one to say those kinds of things, but in this case I’m starting to wonder if he’s on to something. It’s just one thing after another.
Anyway, we’ll get it straightened out. Just bear with us.

Thanks,

Hey Matt,
I have just discovered you and your music (Theocracy) and am totally blown away! I am a musician in the Gainesville (Ga.) area and do a little home recording, so I am completely inspired by your project and recording methods. I started off with a Teac 4-track and a Zoom 234 drum track machine. I have progressed to a Boss BR1600cd after fighting off the urge to spend mucho $$$ on Pro Tools and such. Anyway, look forward to the new album, and love your blend of Prog metal and Christian lyrics. I also look forward to your performance at the ProgPower Fest in Atlanta.

See ya there’

What happened to the computer? Can you turn it on at all? I'm pretty nerdy so I'd be very happy to be able to help in any way.

Seth's performing emergency surgery on the computer as we speak, so hopefully he'll be able to fix it.

 

[Killerah]

Good luck with that, I always hate it when a part of my computer craps out on me. It just drives me crazy until I get it fixed.

 

[zedowns]

Can't wait for this album. \n/(>_>) \n/

so... any news yet?

Yes, last night when I met Matt in a bar in Athens, he gave me away some secret infos. I was drunk too, so I have already forgotten most of them. I remember some though:
1. The sound will be more "modern", so expect some strong hardcore and metalcore influences. There will also be more rapping than on the first CD.
2. Matt recorded a 15-minute-long guitar solo, but they thought it sounded too professional and virtuosic for an underground record, so they discarded it from the final release.
3. He also told me it will be a concept album based around a story of two Nebraskan drug dealers trying to get to Manhattan with no cash. On the way they are joined by an ex-prostitute and an old sailor with a parrot on his shoulder. They go through some bizzare adventures and end up in some magic fairyland with a talking lion and a white witch who feeds them with Turkish delight.
4. The album will also contain at least three Bob Marley cover songs, I can't remember them though.
5. Theocracy don't have enough budget left for a professional cover, so the cover artwork is done by Seth's 8 year old neighbour, who won a painting contest at school.
6. Ah and as far as I can remember the title of the CD will be something like "A Night at The Opera" - sure, it has absolutely no relation to the music, but who cares, Queen and Blind Guardian had success with that name, so why not Theocracy?

 

[Matt Smith]

Sure, just give EVERYTHING away!
