What was the first Theocracy song you heard?

[Trinitial]

Self-explanatory title.

The first Theocracy song I ever heard was Martyr. That song was so awesome that I just had to buy Mirror of Souls. A little later I ordered the first album. Then before you know it, I heard that they were coming out with a new album and it just blew the others out of the water.

 

[Child Of God]

Same here, first song I heard from them was Martyr, and the second "The Writing in the Sand". Instant win for me

 

[FleshAndBloodTheocracy]

A Tower of Ashes - I bought Mirror of Souls on a whim and just listened straight through.

 

[Darknight6606]

Laying the demon to rest I was looking up various christian bands on wikipedia and looked theocracy up on playlist, and clicked the first song.

 

[Ichthus]

Mountain. My husband was looking for us some new music. He came across Theocracy. Mountain was the first song he played for me. We bought the album and everything else since.

 

[Ichthys Records]

The first song I heard was the Serpent's kiss. I somehow found it (don't remember how or where) and I was stuck. unfortunately I haven't been able to get the first album though.

 

[RichS]

Theocracy

 

[JamesDS]

Absolution Day - that sold me Mirror of Souls pretty quickly.

 

[Follow The Wolves]

It was either "Oh Come Oh Come Immanuel" or "Theocracy" that I heard first. At the time I was new to metal but listened to Kamelot and the old Apocalyptica stuff but wanted to get to know some good christian metal bands to start digging the genre the - may I say - safe way. A classmate of mine made up a pretty awesome list and of course Theocracy was on it. Looked 'em up on Youtube and have been loving this music ever since...

On an unrelated, but always appropriate topic: I see we have a new member, welcome to the forums, 'Ichthus'!

 

[TwentyID]

Martyr

 

[Atreides]

Way back when, I only knew Theocracy through a review and the three 30-second samples that were available on the website: Ichthus, The Serpent's Kiss, and Mountain. Eventually somehow I downloaded Mountain in its entirety and it was, of course, awesome. Six months after first reading that review and hearing of Theocracy, I decided to order the CD, and the rest is history.

 

[Parched Earth]

It was either "Prelude" or the original Christmas medley.

I'm pretty sure I bought the first album based on it being Christian power metal without having heard a single note, other than possibly the Christmas medley. I got the debut in January 2004, so I am thinking I may have downloaded the Christmas medley in December 2003.

I can't remember, but it had to have been way back before Matt released the self-titled. I probably heard about Theocracy on the Christian Metal Realm, and I'm sure it was a myspace sample, or something like that. Regardless, I was impressed and when the s/t came out, I snagged one right quick-like.

 

[M@RS]

On Eagles' Wings. My first thought was, "Geez that guy sings kinda high."
I didn't like it at first, but it slowly grew on me. Now they're one of my favorite bands. Go figure.

 

[CaMacKid]

I heard Bethlehem first on Last.fm and then I heard Absolution Day. I fell in love with Theocracy instantly.

What am I, chopped liver?

 

[JayArby]

^ haha, welcome Trinitial, too.
Actually, I was never welcomed... :/

On Eagles' Wings was the first Theocracy song I ever heard, as I mentioned in another discussion. It was the chorus and that powerful key change that I instantly loved. And the epic, insanely high vocals.

 

[Arnock]

I think It was either martyr or eagle's wings on youtube. I got MoS soon after, and a friend (who I introduced to theocracy) managed to get me the s/t album for my birthday the next year.

Laying the Demons to Rest, or Eagles Wings.
