 Theocracy
 As the World Bleeds
 Review by Gary Hill

These guys are a metal band from Georgia who sound more like a European epic metal band. Add in the fact that they are also a Christian rock band, and the puzzle gets more unusual. These guys are amazing musicians and the weakest track from them is probably on an even keel with the best from a lot of bands. It’s just that after a while it starts to sound a lot alike. These guys tend to be all over the place and land pretty close to progressive rock a lot of the time. I’d also have to say that if you might be scared away by the “Christian” title, although the lyrical themes are obvious, they never really seem to try to pound you over the head with it. I would say that it doesn’t detract from the experience even for people who aren’t Christians or fans of a lot of preachy music.
