Theocracy - Easter

[@matthewwinter5780]

Theocracy is Progressive Power Metal, not really gonna be death Vocals. Also, this isn't about death trying to hold him down. It's about the despair the disciples felt with the death of their master, they felt it was over, that the revolution was stopped before it began. Also, Theocracy always has choir parts, it's their sound. Matt Smith is hugely influenced by Gospel, and Church choir music, and Basically tries to write the Metal Version of that. I for one think it's glorious. And if there is a sound that is "Christian Metal" it would be something like this that pulls so heavily from Gospel and Church Music

You nailed it my friend

[@onfire4Jesus2]

You took the words right out of my mouth. Glorious is how I would describe it too. I was totally blown away the first time I heard it. I love that "Glory glory, hope is alive" part!

[@OleT967]

What he said ^

[@edcorps2876]

Wow, I'm really late to comment on this... but there are so many 'growling', 'death', metal bands out there, to me Theocracy is a breath of fresh air with clean, soaring, power metal vocals. If you don't like the genre, you won't like Theocracy, but for those of us that appreciate both clean and unclean vocals, Theocracy is top notch.

[@Spankedchicken]

Best power metal band in the world

[@mtaffer]

They understand power metal inside and out, when I found them it was like this huge thing!

[@jhamilton1007]

Happy Easter Vinn & Sori! Great song! JESUS HAS RISEN! 🙏👐

[@Bigbadtyrant1]

They forgot that Theocracy was a power metal band after reacting to I Am a year ago. smh

[@Paulthediecastguy]

Love the band and the song. It's there style. Every band has there own style.

[@tristramcoffin926]

Theocracy is power metal. Maybe you were thinking if A HIll to Die Upon as the death metal band. Sori seems frustrated she didn't write the song.

[@jkalewine]

The entire Mirror of Souls album by Theocracy is a must listen!

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Great band, great song :)

[@kaenwanderer4547]

I love theocracy. I've been listening to them for at least 10 years now. They're power metal which has more angelic vocals and less screaming or grunting like death metal.

[@andrewbrorherton6898]

The next song by these guys should be Mirror of Souls or Laying the Demon to rest. Requested these songs for awhile 2 years ago at least.

[@waynen6765]

Mirror of Souls is pretty great. I prefer I AM personally

[@feliperocharodrigues2352]

Great Song! I don't know why Theocracy didn't put more Scriptures into the song, but they must have a reason, but they can! Love Theocracy! Maybe you guys can check "Wolves At The Gate- The Father's Bargain" or "Man Of Sorrows". Love you, guys. Take care.

[@stevenparoski754]

Just found your channel and enjoying the great content!👍Happy Easter

[@cockynanderson]

Sori, I respect your opinion. I disagree with it, but I respect it. Theocracy's instrumental ability is not rivaled by many in the Christian Metal community. I get what you are saying about what you want. But I do not feel like growling vocals work in Christian Metal. That's why I don't care for Demon Hunter. To me, songs about Christ/God should be up lifting and inspiring and hearing someone growl like a demon possessed dog doesn't do that for me.

[@fooser77]

1. You apparently have never listened to Extol et al derivatives of .. 2. How do you know what a demon sounds like? Been in the presence of one? scholar.csl.edu/osp/1/ 3. Can you imagine how a white elohim might communicate with a black elohim? "Angels" when appearing to humans, generally take on a human form .. However, in the presence of other elohim (especially that; fallen ones) .. Just might take on a more lower timbre given their actual stature .. See Book 1 Enoch ..

[@krypticmuzik5805]

Try Grave Declaration - When dying souls scream praise. This is black metal vocals, but it is probably one of the most praise albums out there that is metal. Straight praise, but very powerful. Similar to Dimmu Borgir, but with their own sound. Follow along with the lyrics.

[@waynen6765]

Although classic Mortification, especially the album 'Scrolls of the Megilloth' fit the bill quite well

[@erinmcpherson7720]

13:34 Vin: "I thought Theocracy was a Death Metal band.. " Me: * Knowing what Sori said couldn't be done because of them being POWER metal band* 🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean they clearly have all the elements: - Long epic storytelling - A melodic but Rock sounding voice - And of course last but not least... a long breakdown 🤷🤘🤣

[@erinmcpherson7720]

12:00 Sori: "I just didn't like it ... " Me: 😐...well...WE DON'T LIKE YOU!!! *flips table like Jesus did* 🤣🤣🤣

[@cockynanderson]

I think I broke my phone smashing the thumbs up.

[@nicodemusthemidnightdiscip2291]

@Sori The band didn't have the focus you may have preferred, which sounds like some kind of emotionally building song. What they did, though, was more Scripturally focused, namely the Resurrection as fulfillment of prophesy. This was far more moving as a Christian than as a general person.

Check out the gift of music and laying the demon to rest by this band “theocracy”

[@RoiRex]

You can listen the song the quest from Leah with Troy Donockley from nightwish, i think this song and album has inspired the nightwish album, especially in the vocals style

[@demolitionizer7686]

Why is the audio track slowed down/ in a lower octave?????

[@theheadlessguitarist1]

So I'm not the only one who's hearing it keyed down somehow???

[@waldenirsousa3476]

exatamente, está em um tom diferente do original e mais lento

[@deanainsworth1757]

It was amazing!

[@andrewawakened628]

Sori, you should write that song you were imagining - I think I'd like to listen to it. Theocracy is a power metal band with occasional progressive elements, always has been since they started in the early 2000's, so not sure why you thought they were heavier. Seems you both came into this with wrong expectations that tempered your enjoyment of this song. Now thats been cleared up listen to other songs from them - I'd recommend "Theocracy"

[@RoiRex]

listen divinefire :)

[@fooser77]

Heavier? One has simply not listened to enough -- Theocracy! Try again .. Death growls do NOT have a monopoly on -- heavy! Snap out of it -- Millennials .. But if you must insist, then check into: Extol Fleshkiller Azusa Living Sacrifice The Burial

[@krypticmuzik5805]

@@fooser77 Just because a band has death growls does not mean that it isn't heavy or not musically appealing. It has nothing to do with being millennial. I'm not millennial.

[@kevinsmith7-7-7]

Happy Easter 2021

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I enjoyed the song. Although I think soris idea would have been great also. I do enjoy the male-female, guttural/clean vocals meshes.

Happy Easter to all the Roman Catholics and other Christians that celebrate it today.

[@micklaikrison2]

Hi vin and sori, I dont comment much on videos, I'm a massive fan of watching your reaction videos, I'm also a massive metal fan. But I've got a proposition for you both, totally non metal related, I'm from Ireland and theres an irish singer songwriter called Christy moore one of his songs is called the voyage and I really think you will like it, if you get a chance try Give it a listen at some stage, as I said metal is my preferred type of music, but this particular song is one I like and think you guys might enjoy also. Also another metal band you should check out is a band called dust in mind, song called this is the end. Thanks for all ye guys do on the channel your both awesome, and hope you are keeping safe and well. Thanks for reading.

[@krypticmuzik5805]

Renascent - Through darkness, Last Journey, or Warriors of the morning, are all good melodic, and orchestrated Christian death metal. This album also has scripture references as well. For Sori-

[@Weslley6104]

Nightwish - Noise 🤘

[@davidsummers4845]

Also their song - Shoemaker 😄

[@monsieurkain]

Do Bethlehem by Theocracy for Christmas 2020.

[@mtaffer]

One of my favorite Christian songs

[@Metal_Auditor]

Please check out Theocracy's "The Wonder of it All." I would love to hear the commentary on that one.

[@mtaffer]

It does have the churchy chorus but they are singing about something glorious so why not. The song is equal balance really heavy music and light hearted soaring choruses.

[@waynen6765]

Easily one of my favorite tracks from the band. Elements remind me of classic Tourniquet thrash, having quick stops and starts

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

You guys should do "devil and the deep dark ocean" by nightwish. Its tarja era, but the musical format is similar to what sori was hoping for in this song. They should do that song.

[@suprchickn7745]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Narnia, a great Christian power metal band from Sweden. Their guitarist has been heavily influenced by Yngwie Malmsteen and they are an excellent band with a riff-heavy old-school sound. Check out "Enter The Gate" or "MNFST".

[@mtaffer]

I dig the music, but just can't get into that guys voice and if I don't like a singer I can't really get past that, I wish I could. The same for Vanden Plas, I can't stand the singers voice.

[@PaulHilburger]

Marillion has the best song called Easter.

[@sammcgrow3335]

Suicide Silence - Bludgeoned to Death

[@hooknmouth5764]

Honestly after the first 20 seconds of this song I was ready to hit the trap door on it but it came through. This band sounds like Dream Theater’s little brother, talk about wearing your influences on your sleeve. I personally would love to see Vin and Sori reacting to more “Christian” metal. Demon Hunter is a staple and I know it’s been done on this channel before to me the one’s they’ve done have been on the softer side. Please tryout Someone to Hate, Follow the Wolves, Storm the Gates of Hell.

[@mtaffer]

Hey guys, this is the same band that did Snowglobe that I requested for Christmas. You also did I Am by them before. if you want some interesting lyrics from this band listen to Paper Tiger, it's a commentary on how Christians react to modern problems kind of. It's deeper than that. But you guys loved Snowglobe...lol!

[@waynen6765]

And to some extent the triviality of the lives they live against the contrast of Christian suffering worldwide

[@Birmanncat]

Blaze of Perdition - Transmutation of Sins

[@TheTrollslayer69]

MAMMOTH - The Devil Wears Prada. These guys are also a Christian metal band. Not aggressively so... but the themes are there. Interested to see what you guys think of them

[@jhamilton1007]

Sori, i agree with you on the whole Death Metal vocals from maybe Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth and then having Floor's angelic voice come in when Christ has risen. That would be awesome.

[@RoiRex]

you can listen Leah Celtic metal, better than most of the female metal singer, album the quest

[@fooser77]

@@RoiRex Speaking of LEAH . Have seen Project Aegis?

[@mtaffer]

Considering Floor and Akerfeldt are both atheists, I dont see that ever happening...lol.

[@nickhayes1626]

Respect the opinion, but have to completely disagree. I loved this song, and I felt the change from dark to light as the song went on. Love the lyrics and the message.

[@waynen6765]

Good point! Without this image the tune plays as two tracks melded into one, with only the final chorus really trying it together musically

So, since you want some extreme Christian metal I'll recommend Horde, Antestor, Frost Like Ashes, Crimson Thorn, Mortification, and Vengance's first two albums - though Vengeance would later become very not Christian.

[@IAmisMaster]

Ben Webb Extol and Paramaecium too!

[@mytholictim]

Believer had some cool stuff too.

[@krypticmuzik5805]

Try requesting some newer stuff to them from my channel, or some stuff that nobody on KZbin has found and made a playlist of except for me. Not being rude, or an elitist, but I don't think that they like me very much, or trust my opinion. I have been building playlists, and saving them for the last 9 months. Wasn't easy to find most of these Christian bands, and if my playlists where not on KZbin, then sadly most of this music would be invisible/gone.

Sorry guys, but your are probably dreaming beyond reality to get Floor to participate in an Easter song for ya .. Floor is quite pagan through and through ..

Yeah i think you're unfairly judging Theocracy on what you want them to be rather than what they are. I saw another christian band Sori liked, and there was like seven words to the song but it was really heavy metal. So unfortunately, she likes what she likes... Nothing to do with the music, it just has to be rough metal death.. Otherwise it's rubbish lol

[@bschuler6216]

Yeah, these lyrics didn't quite hit the mark. They probably could have used a bridge and a chorus too.

Perhaps you should offer your services as producer on Theocracy's next album .. And your superior -- vision? Personally, given a proper budget .. I would hire Ole Borud instead!
