Theocracy is a band started by Matt Smith in 2002 and it took him five years to released this album. The wait is more than well worth it! I pre-ordered this album then listened to it the day it arrived. I couldn't stop listening to the album for days. This is truly an amazing progressive metal with strong power metal influences. Matt Smith definitely is one of the best vocalist out there today. He's great with the guitarworks too. The title track is 22 minutes long! Usually long tracks like that is hard to listen sometimes due to the length but Theocracy hit it home with this song. I absolutely love the interludes, guitar works, and keys in the song. Absolutely beautiful song. The lyrics is strong Christian theme and it's truly meaningful, nothing cheesy. I truly recommend anyone who want some good metal to listen to Theocracy and buy this album. 9/10
