Theocracy is a Christian power and progressive metal band from Athens , Georgia , USA , that was formed in 2002.
history
The band was formed in 2002 by Matt Smith. He developed the first songs, so that in 2003 the self-titled debut album was released on Metalages Records . On the album Smith played all instruments himself. In 2008, the second album Mirror of Souls followed. Drummer Shawn Benson and guitarist Jon Hinds could be heard on the recording for the first time. Through the release, bassist Jared Oldham and guitarist Val Allen Wood became aware of the band, so they completed the line-up. In 2011 the band released the next album As the World Bleeds on Ulterium Records . In 2013, the debut album was re-released as fans expressed this wish. Shawn Benson recorded all drum parts, otherwise the recordings from the debut album were used.
style
The band plays Christian, progressive Power Metal, which is comparable to works by other bands such as Freedom Call , Secret Sphere and Stratovarius .
