Rank the Theocracy Albums!

Christian Thrash Rules wrote:I love Theocracy, but I haven't listened to their hole discography. Probably cause their albums are not short. But I think I know enough to rank 3 of the 5.

1. As The World Bleeds
The only album I've heard all the way though. I Am, Nailed, The Gift Of Music, Altar To The Unknown God, amazing songs. 10/10 album, hope to get it on vinyl soon.

2. Ghost Ship
Haven't heard the full album but def feels heavier than ATWB. I absolutely love Stir The Embers. 

3. Theocracy
The debut. Hard to believe Matt did this entire thing solo. Amazing songs on here, Ichthus, Serpent's Kiss.

Haven't listened to enough of Mirror Of Souls or Mosaic to rank them. But this band is amazing, would love to see them live. Might become my favorite band soon.

What album do they tend to play the most at Immortal Fest?

I listened to Laying The Demon To Rest from Mirror Of Souls and if the whole album is this amazing(which I'm assuming it is) then it would either tie Ghost Ship or be directly below it. Ghost Ship is probably so far a 8.99/10 album and again, assuming the whole MOS album is as good as LTDTR then it would be 8.98/10. Theocracy is a 8.5/10.

1. Ghost Ship

Consistently awesome. Some of their best riffs and most memorable hooks (which, for Theocracy, is saying a lot). There isn't a song on here I don't love and I've probably listened to it more than the others combined. 

(VERY SLIGHT GAP. RAZOR THIN.)

2. Mirror of Souls

For a long time, this was top for me. It still is in a very tight race with Ghost Ship. The songs are all awesome with great choruses and there's a good variety of sounds here. The title track is my favorite Theocracy song and Absolution Day is right behind it. A masterpiece. 

(BIGGER GAP)

3. Theocracy

I haven't had this one as long, but it's still excellent. I don't think there's a bad song on it. Great stuff. 

(SLIGHT GAP)

4. As the World Bleeds

I know this will be controversial, but I think this is the weakest primarily because it's the most inconsistent. Half of it is flat-out awesome and among the best of their career. The other half ranges from quite good to skip-button ("The Gift of Music"). It's still leagues ahead of pretty much any other power metal, of course, because it's THEOCRACY. But I think it's the weakest of their works. However, it was actually the first Theocracy I got and it made me a fan, so I certainly like this album! 


Theocracy rules (play on words somewhat intended).

Really? I think Stir The Embers from Ghost Ship is their heaviest song.
