Review Type: 

This is a long awaited re-issue of Theocracy’s original 2003 album, that was getting harder and harder to find.  And while on the original record the drums were programmed, and it also had a not too good production, for this re-issue the drums were re-recorded by Theocracy’s drummer Shawn Benson and the album itself was also completely remixed.

I’ve never heard the original recording, but I for those of you who have never heard stuff of this band before, I can guarantee you that this is top quality progressive/power metal. And notwithstanding the fact that Theocracy is basically a Christian band, contrary to some other Christian bands, they do not sound cheesy, and their lyrics are also rather good, and to be honest if you didn’t know this was a Christian band, it might even escape your attention.

96/100
