This new album is awesome! Love Theocracy, great band, super talented. God has given Matt an extraordinary talent for songwriting!
Matt is a genius . Vocals are brilliant ... musicality is fantastic ... poetry is exhilarating. I love hearing metal with Christian messages
Dear Theocracy! Thank You guys for your work and the love you put in it! You speak out of my heart and your lyrics lead me to worship our Lord! Your songs accompany me in everyday life and give me so much joy! Thank You so much!!! God bless you! 💛🕊️
Let’s get at least 2 more albums! Hit that 7 mark!
Leave that down to Matt! You’re not the one putting all the work into it! 😉😊
I just discovered Theocracy and I've shared links to friends and family. It's so great to hear Christians playing at this level. Seventh Avenue was another great band also. Unfortunately disbanded, I hope Theocracy keeps plugging away.
Great interview! Thanks Jay.
Been a fan of Theocracy for years and it’s been awesome to see the progression as they keep getting better. Matt is a very special guy and I’m so glad you were able to get him to share.
Thanks Josiah! It was a long 7 year wait, but well worth it, Mosaic is an amazing record! -Jay
Theocracy Mosaic is one of the Best álbum of year. I love it !!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Found y'all just today, you guys rock, Praise God!
Hey Jay! Great interview. This is JW from FB Christian Metal group. Not sure why this video didnt come across my radar sooner. Take care, man and God Bless!
Thanks brother, appreciate it! Feel free to share, absolutely love Mosaic, well worth the wait!
@@KingdomBuilderTV2015 Absolutely worth the wait! I was originally a little concerned when it was announced Taylor Washington was going to be the new guitarist because I was such a fan of Val's playing style and I had no idea what what kind of guitarist Taylor was. I was blown away by his playing when I first saw the videos for Turn To Dust and Mosaic. He is actually better than Val! I was also concerned about Taylor coming from a band, which wasn't Christian, and not knowing if he was a Christian. I still haven't been able to find an answer to that question. Do you know if he is a Christian?
Vivat Jesus!
This new album is so awesome. Red Sea is amazing. I literally have been listening to all theocracy songs all day long at work nonstop since the albums release. I’ve been a metal head since youth and I love having Christian metal with a great message to keep me going during the day.
Thank you so much for this interview. Theocracy has definitely been a powerful force in my journey with Christ.
Theocracy have some great songs on their earlier albums but as a whole album I like this new album the best because the entire album is very heavy except the one ballad. I think that's also the case with the last five Stryper albums (which I like more than their 80's albums in my opinion). I love the heavier stuff. Great interview by the way ROCK ON!
Thanks!
Great interview!
Great interview. Thanks!!!
Red Sea is a masterpiece!
New to the channel & subbed. Followed Theocracy loosely for 12 years. Love their Christmas songs and play them every year and throughout the year. Loving their new stuff more each time I listen. Thank you both, my brothers in Christ!!!!
Thank you Matt. I've been listening to Teocracy for about 12 years. The one thing I was able to "hear" was your humility.
It always sounded like a authentic service of love and hope... this is a charism (a supernatural gift to bless others with) and would not have been possible to do without a faith. On a more musical note; it's the proably best power metal out there.
I just heard about christian metal a few months ago. Was a metal fan in the eighties. Grew out of it. Stumbled on the christian metal scene and got wild enthousiastic about it. Theocracy is one of my favoutites. Now i have to catch up with all the works of these bands. Spotify is a good source for this. God bless.
Stryper is obviously the biggest and most well known, along with Petra and Whitecross, but there are many more. Theres even quite a roster of Christian Black Metal thats quite good, believe it or not! Just search on RUclips and youll be surprised at how much is out there.
I love Theocracy very much❤ Thank you for this amazing interview❤
The 20 minute songs by Theocracy are awesome (along with all the other songs)!
Theocracy is one of three music groups/artists that I actively keep track of. One of the others I discovered through Project Aegis, another Matt Smith project. Theocracy has been a part of my life since 2012, ironically from one of their none faith based songs: “Frosty vs Rudolph.” Then I heard “I AM,” and then I was a lifelong fan.
Lyrically, the line "I don't belong here" got me glued to this album. I waited until The Red Sea to nail it biblically. Lia Fool or Messiah came just lately. Genre-wise "Sinsidious" caught me the most.
It is time for theocracy to come to the New York area.
Same here, I found out about them with Ghost Ship, now own e ery CD of them.
Theocracy's first album is a masterpiece. And 20 years later they produced another masterpiece. Energy, production, riffs, solos, vocals, lyrics... i love everything. Matt is a genius and a best vocalist!
