The world could use a Theocracy Christmas album. There is not enough Christmas metal.

[@mrrandomperson3106]

There's not enough *good* Christmas metal.

[@unoriginaluser4296]

I don't even like holidays and I love some "Christmas" metal. Just not the songs that talk about sledding and snow and trees

[@KarstenJohansson]

Accept your gifts from whence they come. There are a lot of great Christmas metal songs out there. Even Twisted Sister finally recognized "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "Oh Come, All Ye Faithfull" are pretty much the same song.

[@IanHunter78]

@@KarstenJohansson Dee actually mentioned that in his autobiography.

[@TitusCastiglione1503]

I would snap up a Theocracy Christmas album in literally two seconds.

[@adeaniarocha]

(LYRICS) O come, o come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the son of god appear O come, o come, great lord of might Who to thy tribes on sinai's height In ancient times once gave the law In cloud and majesty and awe Rejoice! Rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee, o Israel O come, thou rod of jesse, free Thine own from satan's tyranny From depths of hell thy people save And give them victory over the grave Rejoice! Rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee, o Israel O come, thou day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits by thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight Rejoice! Rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee, o Israel Rejoice! Rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee, o Israel

Here I sit, on The Fourth of July, enjoying a Theocracy Christmas song. 👍

[@fooser77]

Put up your Christmas tree .. And, do remember your birthday suit! RE: "Grandma's Boy"

[@DysmasofTailholt]

Never a wrong time to celebrate Christ

[@jeszrah5889]

And me 9 July's later 😀

[@jeddakjohn5345]

Dude, this is some of the best music I have ever heard ever. We need to make these guys famous!

[@miguelcarranza5301]

They are famous Bro!

[@misstellamb1717]

enjoying in 2023!

[@chancejones5958]

Now i want to hear this guy do Mary Did You Know. That would be amazing!

[@CydnotCharrise1]

+Chance Jones Yes Yes YES!!!!!!!

[@RickFlu]

Brilliant interpretation. God bless Theocracy !

[@oreopoptartman]

Would kill for this to be on spotify!!!

[@Gotchism4Life]

Leave it to Theocracy to take a classic hymn and make an awesome metal rendition. The talent is incredible and the fact Theocracy aeem to be truly given to Christ and not ambigious like some "Christian" metal bands takes them to a different level.

[@TheBros2theend]

Jesus Christ loves you

[@MrHamsto24]

I would love to make a custom Christmas light show to this song. Progressing from a little shepherd on the lawn singing a solo, to an angelic concert, to the returning Christ crushing Santa under his feet. Biblical angels and all.

[@user-fb1iy2fo2q]

That's a brilliant idea 💡

[@luthlexor123]

It's that time of year again. Merry Christmas everyone

[@bartvisscher2647]

Merry Metal Christmas during the year of the plague

[@thereaper7682]

Usually listen to this song even when it's not Christmas.

[@markledyard]

This is how it should be done

[@davidsmith1340]

The earliest versions of these verses in Latin were sung more than a thousand years ago. You wonder what 9th-century monks would have thought of this :)

[@DavidSaborio]

When it comes to metalizing this epic Christmas tune, these guys are the best!!! Hands down!!! Nobody can ever top this cover!!! Screw all these "big time" KZbin "musicians"... Theocracy understands the true spirit and meaning of Christmas. Praise be to God

[@stewwweee]

Underated cover of this song This should have millions views..come on

[@CydnotCharrise1]

Love their version of this song. Beautiful version. Uplifting and beautiful.

[@dennisgurr4944]

...and then God rested from all his work of creation...and then created Theocracy.

[@maarl78]

Praise to God in its purest (metal) form. Thanks for this piece of art.

[@SemperReformanda91]

Why isn't this on Spotify 😭😭

[@lynsh7685]

God bless you Matt, a Christmas CD would be a great addition to the Theocracy legacy, in addition to the new Album of course!

[@guitarman8748]

You download all of the Theocracy Christmas songs for free on their site.

[@RazgrizArcher]

I have always made one exception for listening to Christmas music outside of Christmas time. That exception is if it's made by Theocracy or not. Rejoice!

[@MxMelmelB]

I've been obsessively listening to this since Christmas Eve. It's so good! This is my favorite Christmas carol and this arrangement is just excellent. I get chills every time I listen to it!

[@maarl78]

I find myself exactly doing the same... what an excellent song

[@RockRepent]

Same here!

[@keithnewbury6959]

Theocracy are my favourite metal band - their Christmas tunes are epic!! God bless them!

[@Soup19922]

a totallyt different vibe but you might like this one too. The mood of this one really gets to me. I get the feeling that someone is really longing for something to come. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2Spm3-Ffbx1gas

[@TabithaElkins]

I want this band to play in my church!

[@levigoodwin3522]

Back for another Advent season to listen to this one 5 or 6 times!

[@angelviernes]

Best version ever... Same as Christmas medley...

[@patriksepte9431]

And here I am coming back to this masterpiece, as I do every year this time. Still awesome.

[@lordelfwine]

Same here 🤗

[@shawnthomas1375]

Merry Christmas and a happy NEW YEAR!

[@adrianolima331]

Melhor Power metal ainda falando nossos salvador ❤️

[@user-ck7ij1fd4t]

Amen!

[@jdude7650]

Awesome 👍 I love Theocracy! God bless you!!

[@christrules1010101]

Heard this on the blast dot fm the other dat and i was like, this is how Christmas music should be played.

[@turtlebass190]

With music this awesome, it makes me want to believe that metal will be part of worship in Heaven. One can dream!

[@kobebryant3346]

yes the music is great. pure unrefined talent. but the real message is in the words it's God's word the legacy God chose to come and so it did rejoice in the powerful love and forgiveness. everyone is welcomed do treat others before yourself but don't fall into Satan's traps they come in all different forms. could be someone cheating on you or the temptation of you cheating with another person it always gets better with the spirit of God upon you

[@gormoboskos]

REJOYCE! THIS IS THE SEASON

[@andinhocatheringer2248]

[@glitchysoul570]

*Israel

[@Elohimists]

Did you remember to roll your rrrrr. The I has an e sound so say Eze rrra el. I thought, yell, would be funny since, Is ra scream doesn't fit.

[@Elohimists]

Not a problem. Have a great day through Christ Jesus our Lord.

[@glitchysoul570]

Arnold Bur You too man. God bless :)

[@RHanford3]

I would love to download this but can't find the download link or even the 'Club of Souls' on the Theocracy's website. Anyone know if they have moved the link? I wish they would release this as an official single as I would definitely buy it and I'm sure others would!

[@justinoliver2546]

Any chance we could get this and the other Theocracy Christmas songs that aren't on Spotify uploaded to Spotify??

[@theeyes9961]

does this song available on spotify? i need it

[@rmontemayor2635]

Where can I get the music track? Yes!

[@jerrybaker8582]

Why shout it, when you can Scream the good news

[@IanHunter78]

This is easily on par with Halford's version!

[@Benedictus_Christus]
