Theocracy is a metal band from the US, whose melodic style has more in common with their European contemporaries than with most of their U.S. counterparts. Characterized by huge choruses, epic arrangements and progressive elements, Theocracy's music is both immediate and deep, managing to be instantly catchy and memorable, yet revealing new levels of intricacy and depth with each subsequent listen. "As The World Bleeds" is the third magnus opus from Theocracy. The album was mastered by Mika Jussila [Nightwish, Stratovarius, Children of Bodom] and features artwork by Felipe Machado Franco [Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, Iced Earth]. The album was received very well and entered the Billboard Heatseeker Chart in the US upon release. During the last years Theocracy have done three successful European headlining tours, as well as playing one-off shows/festivals in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany and Switzerland.
