Below also some quotes from reviews for Theocracy‘s new masterpiece As The World Bleeds have now been published. Have a look below for a small sample of what the journalists are saying about their journey through the new album:
“The bottom line is that is refreshing to have these guys back with a powerful new record, full of bombastic hooks and melodies. The most complete album to date and full of unforgettable tracks.” My Global Mind Webzine / Denys
“As the World Bleeds” is an album that, just like its predecessors, is very impressive. Or to keep it within the frame of reference of the band: heavenly!” Lords of Metal / Patrick
“This is an absolute must have for every metal fan. The best album produced so far by Theocracy and they proved themselves again to be at the very top in the Power Metal Universe”. The Metal Resource / Arjan
“For the third release Smith has surrounded himself for the first time with a full band, and the difference is noticeable. One word: solos! The lead guitar work of Val Allen Wood adds a healthy dose of shredding madness to the recipe and the guitar work in general is the star of the album. Not to say Smith himself isn’t on excellent form here, the man delivers his best vocal performance to date.” Black Wind Metal
Upcoming Shows:
April 30 @ Vappugospel, Kouvola, Finland [together with Demon Hunter, HB and others]
July 7 @ Pathfinder Metalfest. VI, Atlanta
