criminally underrated...they're rocking for the Lord.....

[@filvicente]

High quality music, with high quality lyrics - and theologically correct - not many "christian" bands have that today!

[@ginnydileo5168]

This doesn't sound like a rehearsal, it sounds like an actual music video. And that note he holds, holy crap. So glad I found this band.

[@corex72]

Brother.🤘🤘🤘

[@wilkyahzee2335]

Praise God! I needed music that would tear me away from secular metal. This band did that. Thank you, Theocracy for being true to your calling.

[@antoniowanderlydefreitas7566]

Why?

[@codybullard7836]

Same dude theocracy is so great

[@rasberry797]

They seem like such normal guys.. Which makes me like them even more

[@janfridmijares530]

You guys are one of the best Christian Band I've ever known. Thank you!

[@austindolan3142]

Agreed, there isn't enough Christian metal bands, but Theocracy could carry the genre with how good the songwriting, lyric writing and playing is.

[@janfridmijares530]

@@austindolan3142 True. Their lead singer has almost the same voice quality of DragonForce's lead singer.

[@ioniopo2428]

Theocracy have all a Christian Metal Band Need. Great Riff, speed, Lyrics ans Great Voice. But There is only One who is my Idol ans i will follow an this is JESUS. God bless you all

[@lukenath6983]

I think I agree ☝️

[@GDSSolutions001]

@@ioniopo2428 Agree with you, my friend! Glod bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus

[@TiagoSilva-ji8cx]

Show demais, Theocracy Deus abençoe vocês. Brasil aqui. 🇧🇷🙏👏

[@aragorn767]

I seriously love how Theocracy will go from power prog into core breakdowns. I get to both be intellectually stimulated and I get to slow head bang.

[@Chrishrv]

I don’t know how Theocracy couldn’t get the recognition that they deserve.

[@sergeymihaylov6203]

Great job, you guys nailed it...see what I did there

Pure Power Metal Wait I was about to make the same comment... And you also have dragonforce as your profile pic. Are you me from another universe ?

[@maxwelch3791]

kill me now please.

[@smccollum777]

Great Drummer

[@quentingibson520]

Not only the best ever metal song about Martin Luther, but on of the best metal songs I have ever herd full stop. This is lyrically and musically genius.

[@stevenjacobson3049]

I'm trying to recall all the metal songs I've ever heard about Martin Luther... LOL!!! GREAT songs.

[@tonytorres8742]

Toda honra, poder, glória e majestade ao Criador!

[@Hallow334]

I love prog and power metal. I absolutely cannot believe I had never heard of Theocracy until about 4-5 months ago (2021). They are the Christian metal band I have been looking for. Not that I dont appreciate The Bible (I love it), but to hear it evangelized in a metal format, which is the kind of music I have loved since I was a teen in the late 80's, is...I have no words..... Praise God for Theocracy! Give him all the glory, for he created all. I believe God allowed this band to be created and exist as a way to draw those, who might not necessarily be Christian, but like metal music, to be closer to him. Truly!

[@TheZymbo]

Best damn band in the world. Praise God!

[@alexmontalvo2593]

zymbo Amen Theocracy and Stryper are my favorite Christian bands

[@J.Guiao.]

Been listening to Theocracy since 2012. Was shocked and surprised that even 4 years later without listening, I still had all the lyrics, melodies and bridges in my memory. Surprisingly well done.

[@rodrigomoreira5459]

Muito bom. Saudações do Brazil 🇧🇷

[@franciscoalvarezponce5716]

Aaaarrrgghhh. Gloria a DIOS!!!

[@gilvancarvalho3]

Som que vem do alto, metal cristão de qualidade, Glória a Deus.

[@mazdaland9627]

Still my favorite band of all time! 😎

[@robblock888]

Found y'all...can't stop listening. Amazingly talented artists

[@shackslayer]

Yeah their music is infectious.

[@palaedianmike]

6 years gone. I've never heard of Theocracy as a band in my life. I hope you guys are still together because now that I've heard you I'm in awe and ready to make you famous..... Are you ready children of God? They await you in the halls of tomorrow, TODAY....... IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF GOD YOUR SOUND MUST BE HEARD

[@fmcatfishchamp]

I'm late to the party. Between Theocracy and Project Aegis, I couldn't be more impressed. The music is great, but the message is even better. Thank you all for what you do.

[@jamesgarthe7643]

Totally INSANE!!! These guys are so freaking good! Man, I pray Theocracy someday makes it to Long Island NY one day, I'd quit my job to see them!! Every bit of their playing is so precise and tight! Never seen a band this on target before, and the best is what and who they stand for!!!

[@4themusicman]

Totally agree. If they ever come to Florida, I'm there.

[@teddyboehm9252]

4themusicman they are gonna be in Florida in may 27th I think

[@4themusicman]

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately, I am not available that day. Otherwise, I'd definitely be there.

[@Lynnda86]

I JUST FOUND THEM and am loving going down the #Theocracy rabbitthole!! 👑✝️❤️🙏🏼🙌🎶🕊

[@WelingtonA.Santos]

Man sem noção de tão bem trabalhado o som desses cara Deus Abençoe !!!!!

[@priscilla.90]

Fato.

[@lisalee2640]

This song gives me chills. Simply epic!

[@Toysourboy]

I'm catholic and not really a follower of Christ but I still enjoy this band and understand the lyrics.

[@alik250]

You can't not be eventually famous when your singer has an angelic voice

[@charlesondaniel2570]

Música de altíssima qualidade... Theocracy Brasil 🇧🇷

[@jay-op9177]

Uma das melhores bandas de Christian metal dos tempos recentes. Som de muita qualidade. Thankx, Theocracy.

[@Chicken_Inspector_kun]

I keep coming back to this video every 6 months or so. You guys are so sharp and on point it is scary. Guitars and drums are tight and clean and Matt’s voice sounds effortless. Do more of these!!

[@Arkatox]

Following Shawn is gonna be really tough, but welcome to the Theocracy family, Patrick!

[@Spankedchicken]

Val is an insane guitarist too

[@mikeandersen5]

Come to the Pacific Northwest. Your lyrics are great

[@WayneNowacki]

Super Ditto... I've been so stoked I discovered third band like a month ago and I'm practically an evangelist too shower the word on their talent. Constantly amazed at their sound!!

[@simonevin2119]

they do such wonderful music and yet look so humble... amazing

[@mikemartin6554]

wow.....you guys are great! And what a voice....

[@occidente]

Hi guys... this is amazing and since I started listening your music I got hooked, I love this band, their sound and lyrics. (I'm is for me the most amazing song ever written) That new drumer is amazing and it feels like he's in total control of the song and the breaks and everything. Congratulations and keep going on. God bless you all !!!

[@waynebatson4878]

It can't be an easy thing, finding a new bandmate. Chemistry is an elusive thing, both in terms of friendships and music. I'm grateful and praising God that you've found a new drummer. Patrick looks more than talented enough. If he fits the friends of the band and the faith perspective, then ROCK ON. I can't wait for new music with Patrick on the drums. God bless you on the journey.

[@jezuzfreek777]

Wow..... simply amazing

[@sumartoi]

Growing up listening to them 🤗✌

[@marktegeder2455]

Vocals and everything down from there is just...plain...fab!! Love it!

[@fooser77]

Not a single dislike so far. That says something for this band. Patrick, you are really growing on me. This video is addictive. Shawn was a beast. Yet, he had finesse. We fans will miss him. However, Patrick has power, finesse, and something a little extra. I'm not sure how to describe it just yet. I need to hear more than one song. We are waiting guys. If not the new album just yet (we are patient), then please some more rehearsal videos like this one? My money is on LTDTR for the next one. Tune your octaves Matt, we know you can do it ...

[@fooser77]

***** Way cool! Thanks for the prompt response. I just wish I could be at your next live shows. But, other duties call at the moment. I will catch you guys eventually.

[@snekkermann1]

awesome music

[@propheticsoldier8281]

God Bless Theocracy!!!

[@jesseharper6669]

Absolutely insane work, gents.

[@mikeandersen5]

My eyes have never seen before...i think of Martin Luthers Tower Experience and Romans 1.17 and the proper source of his right standing with God. And then I think of my justification. Man that lyric hits hard

[@dondahmen2691]

Theocracy is a major Metal force for Christ! They encompasse so Much Metal/Prog imagery it is a spiritual and listening buffet. Awesome guys!!!x777

[@alevegadiaz8605]

One of the best power/progressive songs of all time!

[@AntonioLaBarista]

This is so much better than the album version, Liking all of the natural voice and drums as well a lot!

[@Coloszian]

Yes!!! That was awesome! Love the spicier ride pattern in the chorus. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next album.

[@ewoxmaiden1611]

Awesome!!!!!

[@heavenmetal1]

Could listen to this on repeat. Can't wait to see them live this year with Mosaic out now :)

[@williambrizuelab]

buenísimo, de mis bandas favoritas

[@TheOnePav]

This is one song / video that leaves my neck hurting and my jaw dropped. These guys are incredibly talented. Simply awesome. Keep on rocking for the King!!!

[@MrNoahFTW]

The syncopated crunching with the drums in the breakdown at 5:20 is very Opeth 'Deliverance'-ending-like. I love it

[@PhotonCommander]

I love seeing an Opeth reference in these comments! Carry on!

[@hecdavid11]

+James Leach (Drumfonian) It's kinda creepy how I was just listening to Deliverance before coming to this video and now I see these comments...

[@PhotonCommander]

+Hector Caballero that's because Opeth is amazing and should always be listened to. I can't wait to see them again.

[@MuratAktan99]

They nailed it

Congratualtions, may God bless your band throughout your journey.-Keith

one of my old band mates and school house chums was jordan mancino from as i lay dying. we played music together and worshiped together, but i never quite understood the growling vocals from his music. this is a new level.
