Un nouvel album pour Theocracy

Raleigh

C'est après 5 ans d'attente que Theocracy (Power/Progressive Metal - USA) ont annoncé leur prochain album, nommé "Ghost ship". Ce dernier devrait sortir le 28 Octobre en Europe et en Amérique du Nord via Ulterium Records.

Voici l'avis d'un chroniqueur qui a eu la possibilité d'écouter l'album en avant-première :

"With Ghost Ship, Theocracy perfects the lively and fully-realized sound of As the World Bleeds, delivering 10 muscular and streamlined tracks that never lose focus and combine for one memorable journey. You like midtempo singalong anthems? Try the “Ghost Ship” title track. Thrashy rhythms and intensity?  “The Wonder Of It All” should be to your liking. Emotional ballads with huge melodic hooks? Go “Around The World And Back.” Or if you prefer epic, progressive tracks that do all these things and more, 10-minute album closer “Easter” is sure to be a favorite. Each song on Ghost Ship stands alone and has a unique signature, but every moment sounds unmistakably like Theocracy."

D'ailleurs Matt Smith, le chanteur de Theocracy s'est expliqué sur l'origine de l'idée derrière cet album : 

“So many kids were coming up to us after shows and telling us their stories,” Dit Matt smith. “A lot of them were searching for purpose and a place to fit in, and having grown up as an awkward and unpopular kid myself, their words really stuck with me. I started thinking about what a band of misfits Jesus’ disciples were: fishermen, tax collectors, and people of little consequence in the eyes of the world. Sometimes the ones most people don’t see, or choose to look straight through—the ghosts of society, as it were, dead to the world—end up having the biggest impact. That’s where the title and idea for Ghost Ship came from: all the misfits, the uncool, the outcasts, there is a place where you do fit in. Although Ghost Ship is not a concept album, this is a recurring theme, particularly in the title track and “Castaway”.”
