High quality music, with high quality lyrics - and theologically correct - not many "christian" bands have that today!

[YayoCruz]

I am a metalhead, I'm Christian too, and I never understand why we can't serve to God trough the music, the one we like of course, I feel proud of listening people who are not afraid to show their beliefs, and of exalting God with the music gender they love, and the one that we all love too... :D

[pondhoppertv]

I'm not sure why, after a couple of decades listening to Christian metal, that I never heard of this band until recently... they have become one of my favorite bands!

[coceansks]

FEED THE NEW MAN AND TEAR THE VEIL SEE THE OLD MAN DYING! AMEN. Power and might and Glory all from God and the Glory be to HIM! Jesus is our hero and new man in us!

[Ihrgoth]

You guys are the greatest christian metal band put there. Keep using your talents for God's glory!

[Styles]

Praise God for rockin' Christian music!!

Hide In The Fairytale


A child in sweet duplicity
For innocence? Or slavery to nature
And the bents that haunt him straight out of the womb?
He doesn’t have to learn the things unseemly that his instinct brings
To carry like a burden from the cradle to the tomb
You’ll never have to teach him how to lie
If we are born in innocence, well, don’t you wonder why?
For selfishness already dwells inside
The birthright of Adam, the curse of the old man

Day and night
Jekyll and Hyde in the fairytale
This is much more frightening
Darkness and light
Feed the new man and tear the veil
See the old man dying

Behold the loving family man
Who tries to do the best he can
And loves his wife and children even more than his own life
But just like that, a wandering eye leads to a suffocating lie
And selfishness and deep betrayal cuts them like a knife
If mankind doesn’t have a sinful drive
Then tell me why he’d wreck his life to get some on the side?
The warring of two natures deep inside
Starving the new keeps the old man alive

Soulsickness nailed to a cross

[Solo: Jon]
[Solo: Val]
[Harmonies: Val and Jon]

Humankind in innocence, a lie so thinly veiled
Man born without Soulsickness: this is the fairytale
Hide in the fairytale

[joepj]

once I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics .
then i happened to have a big trouble with understanding what " original sin " is.
This song taught me what original sin is .
God bless you guys.

Imagine a Christian Metal Tour with: Theocracy and Stryper! Who's with me?

[mocoleman]

"Humankind in innocence, a lie so thinly veiled
Man born without soul-sickness; this is the fairytale."
These words are epic truth!

[theranger]

I'm a drummer and have wanted to join Theocracy for the longest time. I can play covers to almost all of their songs, and this was the one that got me to love them.

[Hallow]

I was recently turned onto Theocracy! WOW! What an amazing band. They are the Christian metal band I have been looking for!

[EdiQ]

"You’ll never have to teach him how to lie
If we are born in innocence, well, don’t you wonder why?

For selfishness already dwells inside
The birthright of Adam, the curse of the old man"

[princecrane]

incredible song. ridiculously catchy. perfect message. “Darkness and liiight, this is muuuch more friightening”

[Kamerian]

Good Grief!  Why did it take me this long to discover Theocracy?  Well, better late than never I suppose.  Awesome metal with awesome messages...'nuff said!

[FoxymusPrime]

Matt Smith, the one-man musical powerhouse that never ceases to impress me.

Go listen to more of Matt's tasty vocals on their latest album, Ghost Ship.

[CatholicFranciscan]

Theocracy is one of the few Christian power metal bands i listen to... just beautiful :)

[marsworksstudio]

It's rare that you hear a song about the doctrine of total depravity in the metal song.

[jpcantrell]

This band is a musically and lyrically Biblical. I love it....just wonder how no one knows about them.

so nice to read comments like "God bless you" on a metal song, unfortunately some people think that metal and religion are against each other, bands like this prove them wrong. 
If you like female-fronted rock you can check Flyleaf, they are Christian band as well
