33 years i had listened to Metal music, now I find the greatest Metal Band, Theocracy... all glory to GOD
All glory be to God!!! 💖
Eternal Glory to GOD
sounds great! please upload more theocracy things Matt!!! maybe vlogs, practices stuff like that
Agree! When they played live in years past, the audio wasn't good, they played well but the sound system stunk! This sounds so much better!
You guys are truly one of the best power metal bands working today. Your strong spiritual message is just a fringe benefit. :P Stay metal, brother!
No. It’s the main benefit.
Great great! God bless!!!
Brazil wants you here
Apoiado kkkk
It is just amazing to worship God to the sound of power metal. Praise the Lord!
This was the first power metal song I ever heard and is what got me into power metal in the first place. This song literally shaped my tastes in music. Please come to SoCal if you ever get a chance! You're the last band on my list of favorite to see live.
Um abraço do Brasil.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Isso aí !
Brasil TMB é Metal !
Opa... tamo por aqui...... depois da BANDA "HB" achei q não iria encontrar uma banda cristã top assim como está..... show
Mais um br curtindo power metal cristão kkk
É nós sempre
This concert was a dream come true to see, thank you so much for everything you did for me and my family! I've never felt so blessed before, God truly shines through you and every other member of Theocracy. I hope you upload the other songs y'all played that night!
Same here! It took me a long time but I finally saw Theocracy and WOW they were better than I could have imagined. Amazing
Man, all I can wish for you guys is that our God Almighty keep pouring his blessings and grace over you. Listening for Theocracy for years now. I have 4 albums and each one of them have very special moments. The instrumental, the high-pitching vocals by Matt. This is not merely a awesome and perfect metal band: they are comissioners! And the mission is being accomplished. God Bless Theocracy! PS: tough double dragon guy on Matt's tshirt =P
I saw the back of my head! Great concert!
One of the BEST voices in metal today; need you here in DC and would love to see a tour with Stryper!
O Matt Smith é um dos melhores vocais da atualidade !
We were there, man! Such an awesome show!!!
As a side note, we were at an Evergrey concert last Saturday night and I saw a couple there wearing Theocracy - Ghost Ship T-shirts. I commented on the shirts (Hey--Theocracy! That's my favorite band!), and was told that they had also been at the Mad With Power fest. Small world, eh?
We need a new album please!
Asap😁
God bless You, and your Band, Matt!!! Greetings from Hungary. 🙏🙏
C'mon to Brasil !!!

Outstanding footage, thank you very much.
Awesome
My 1st song hearing from y'all. I've been hooked since
Behold the tower
brick by brick we raise it
upward to the sky
To reach the heights of heaven
and beyond
With eyes of fire and burning pride
our power cannot be denied
So God Himself can look
at what we've done
Questioning my own intent and motive
Babel, are you really all that far away?
Sometimes I wonder what we'd do
if the applause had died
And we found ourselves performing
to an empty hall upon an empty stage
The eyes of God, or the eyes of man?
No one can serve two masters
in opposing masterplans
But we go our way
And keep climbing higher and higher
But farther to fall
And we build all our strongholds
behind all our walls
But we stand on the threshold
of losing it all
All the glory we crave
All the towers we raise
All the pride we build up to the sky
When the vanity fades
The illusion gives way to a tower
of ashes and lies
Still we seek to build our towers higher and higher
Sometimes when we think
we're so high
the only way to go is down
When it is our pride that takes us
higher and higher
We watch our towers crumble
and in helplessness we hit the ground
But farther to fall
And we build all our strongholds
behind all our walls
But we stand on the threshold
of losing it all
losing it all
All the glory we crave
All the towers we raise
All the pride we build up to the sky
When the vanity fades
The illusion gives way to
A tower of ashes,
A tower of ashes
Come on
A TOWER of ashes and lies
Whoaaaaa!
Thank you,
My friends!
Wonderfull !!!
