Theocracy: The Making of a Japanese Bonus Track

[Matt Smith]

Hey Guys--
Yes, we are recording a bonus track for Japan (as joked about in another thread ) and I thought you might enjoy a peek into the process. Here's part one of a video documenting the whole thing:

Downloading... Something tells me I'm going to laughing my ass off again...

 

[BM]

No! You're serious! Hmmm, moving to Japan crossed my mind...

Still brought a smile to my face every now and then.

Nice! Thanks for the vid, looking forward to the next one.

Tis been a fun watch, but you sure look tired and bored and exhausted and frustrated and lonely.

Hahahaha well then!
Not lonely, but yes...I'm definitely desperate for a vacation.

It seems to me we'll hear some moaning on the new album, a song will stop in the middle and you'll hear Matt saying "Pluck this, I'm goin' home! *screeech* "

 

[Killerah]

Ooh, The Wages of Sin... sounds deadly! Shame us American's can't acquire it without spending excessive amounts of money.

 

[Aletheus]

Piracy >:X

Great vid. I would kill to become theocracy bassist (not literally ehum) but I'm not even as good as you Matt, lol. And I AM a bassist, haha.

But dude.. Now I'm gonna have to import the japan version.... What did our japanease friends do to deserve another song? 'Tis not fair, I tell ya! :]

 

[TengwarSymphony]

that was fun . thanks for the insight matt! looking forward to more.

i agree with the others guys and what you yourself said - when you get a chance - take a vacation! you deserve it!!!

i think i could probably hang with you as a bass player and would be very devoted to the band, but i live 6 hours north of you but i have a music ministry starting up here that i had mentioned to you that i'm taking very seriously anway i'm sure God will send you the right guy (or girl) when the time is right!

prayin' for you bro,
hope to come see a show sometime soon,
mike

Very cool!!!

 

[Paper Carnival]

Well, getting the Japanese version will cost about the same to me... So I hope there's not a European bonus track either!

 

[beechstudio]

Cool video Matt! When will you release part 2? Love the shots of your workstation! Particularly the SMART compressor! I'm SO jealous!

 

[Peteru349]

Ahhh, so it's a "Trilogy" then? Why do the Japanese always get this stuff?

 

[TengwarSymphony]

I'm going to be thinking about spiders, spiders, spiders... the rest of the day!!!

That was pretty cool. Especially the choir part. I really liked the other choir clip you gave us a while back. Very interesting.

These hearing a few seconds with all the instruments mixed in are such a tease!

 

[Aletheus]

"Love me some Andre!"

Andre Matos as a guest on Theocracy would be very wicked!

 

[koffish]

Wow... Matt you keep surprising me, man! You're singing is just, you know... crazy... freakin' awesome!!! I don't know where to go or what to do when I hear this man it almost makes me cry hahah. Great singing. Great choir. Also very interesting to see how much work you put into it to make it perfect.

I gotta say, matt, you're totally worth every nice word people have been saying here, and that's not even enough. And thanks for doing this.

Everytime I hear new music from you guys I get completely blown away. Keep it up!
God bless you!
