AS THE WORLD BLEEDS

Christian progressive melodic power metal -- whatever you want to call it; this stuff is pretty good. Songs by THEOCRACY are typically heavily influenced by power metal, thus their song structures and sound are similar to that genre. Tons of progressive elements and be heard in their music.

This album, "As the World Bleeds", like their past albums, have lyrics that are based on Christianity. The lyrics may deter some people, but the music is good enough to overshadow that issue.

"I Am" is an impressive song with a bombardment of different passages varying from melodic vocals to heavy, distorted guitar riffing. The vocals are very clean and lyrics are distinct and easy to be heard, which is something to value especially on a vocal driven song such as this.

Overall an interesting band that I recommend people to check out, especially if you're into power / progressive metal.
