Georgia-based melodic metal band Theocracy recently checked in with the following update:
After a long wait, we are excited to finally break the silence with some exciting Theocracy news! Not only is the new album mastered and ready to roll, but we’ve signed with a new label for its release. We appreciate your patience, as we understand that it’s been a quiet couple of years from our end. The calm before the storm. While the album has been done for a while, it took time to weigh our options and decide which would be the best path for us going forward, as you might imagine. We were fortunate enough to have several good choices in the form of offers from multiple labels, and we’re all very excited about our ultimate decision. More info to come in the following weeks. At the same time, as many of you know, we have also been working behind the scenes to right the wrongs and restore the trust violated by the actions of a former band member. To those of you who have handled this wait with grace and understanding, we thank you sincerely.
Theocracy performed at ProgPower USA XX. During their set, the band covered Angra‘s ‘Time’ in honour of vocalist André Matos, who passed away on June 8th after suffereing a heart attack at the age of 47. Fan-filmed video of the band’s entire set is available below.
