[@littlesemi]

New Album any time soon?

[@MContreras.I]

I wish you guys could be more known by the people. So you can spread the word to everyone.

[@gabrielruizaraujo2714]

Lord Jesus bless the best Christian metal band!!

[@adrianogomes9017]

One day I will be present in a Theocracy concert and I will make myself noted! It is one of my top three bands since 2012.

[@thereaper7682]

Dang.. He nailed it. Singing live is much more difficult than in the studio.

[@paulinhopj14]

A guy who wears the Double Dragon Abobo shirt deserves my respect even more! Theocracy best Band!

[@BrunoSieira]

Come to Brazil!

[@rafaelmtl1198]

Matt, please record "In God we trust" by Stryper...the old one :) God Bless you all!

[@Theodax1]

Now THAT's how you film some live footage. The sound was a tad muddy, but it's a live recording in a smaller venue. Still sounded amazing. The band was tight, precise and on fire. The audience was energetic, enthusiastic, and awesome. Can't wait for more NEW Theocracy music coming in the not too distant future.

[@palereaper]

When are they releasing new music?

eaaaaaaaa! Larga vida a Theocracy! LONG LIVE TO THEOCRACY! JESUSCRISHT KING OF KINGS :)

That who knows make IT LIVE!!! Killer vocals by Matt! These song gives me so many goosebumps! Ghost Ship undoubtedly is one of the most beautifull songs ever written and sang. Thank you, guys, for being such a channel for God inspiration.

So good! I've been hooked on Theocracy since November 2019 when I discovered them. Love this!

Uma pena essa banda ser pouco conhecida. Quem conhece o trabalho do Matt sabe que ele é um mega compositor, cantor e guitarrista.

I can not wait for Theocracy #5! Also cant wait to catch the guys on tour! I've become a Theocracy fanboy and I'm older than all of them in the band. LOL

Theocracy é de fato uma banda diferenciada, muito bom ao vivões acima de tudo com muita presença

[@mattmarkferbarr6610]

agora com qualidade ta top demais eles ao vivo, na minha opinião só acho que o matt smith deveria investir em um coral pra ajudar ele nos shows ao vivo, pq theocracy é diferenciado por causa disso, do coral de vozes, e os outros integrantes não preenchem como deveria

[@Hallow334]

Just recently discovered Theocracy and Project Aegis. They were recommended by some members of the FB page "Christian Metal" when I asked if there were any good Christian prog and power metal bands. Wow! I'm a fan. Ghost Ship is a great song. Theocracy is the best of the recommended bands I have found so far. Project Aegis is amazing! Does the project have an album out or is it just several singles? It was cool to see Rob Rock in one of the videos. He still has a great voice. Im gonna have to hit up Ulterium Records' KZbin page. I heard most or all of their bands are Christian. May God bless you for your ministry, which spreads The Word!

[@elreyleomar]

I wish to be there :(

I 've thought in Finland nobody listens Christian metal :) 😉

[@metalnuutti476]

@@GroovyVintageLady Really, we have huge fanbase for metal here in Finland. Btw I am 15 yrs old. I like heavy like Stryper, thrash like Deliverance, hard rock, death metal and black metal. And also power metal like this awesome band. Hyvää päivää Suomesta ja pysykää metallina!

@@metalnuutti476 I love Finland for many years..💛. Now I'm 28.but really I thought Finns listen to only unChristian music :) also I like Stryper, especially "Second Coming" album.

Yo THEOCRACY, when's a new album coming out??

[@Metal2Bach]

Matthew Brocke You can’t rush genius, though I feel you. Haha I heard an interview with Matt recently about putting out new material, and how it becomes more and more challenging to live up to the incredibly high standards we set for ourselves as time goes on. Especially for artists who keep a consistent sound rather than rebranding themselves. He’s choosing to avoid the trap of just sounding like a Theocracy Lite after four albums full of world-class heavy music. So we may have to wait awhile but it will be worth it. 👍👍
