Has anyone else heard this? It's the B-side to the vinyl Wages of Sin single (which I don't have since I don't have a record player and the version of Mirror of Souls I have has it as a bonus track). Very interesting.

It sounds cool. I don't think I would listen to it a lot, though. Of course, I am that one Christian metal fan that doesn't care for Theocracy.
In the secular realm, I like bands like AC/DC, KISS, Kix, Krokus, Ratt, Twisted Sister, etc. There just isn't enough in the Christian scene like that.

I'm not a big Theocracy fan either. Their music all sounds the same to me. I'm not a fan of acappella either. Though I do appreciate the talent and the work that goes into it.

I totally get not listening to this "all the time..." to me it's like listening to Yngwie Malmsteen... the first 2 minutes are mind-blowing-- ... but then it all sorta sounds the same after that... but it is very nice work!

My problem with the name is my eyes break it down into Theo-crap-ella. I had to sound it out in my head.
Me, too. I thought it might be a parody or joke like they are sometimes known for.
I wouldn't call it a song since it's just a medley of many of the more vocal portions of their various songs. I'd not listen to it again since I'd much rather listen to the real songs.
Xid's comment about all sounding the same amused me since the variety of their material is one thing that appeals to me and why I can listen to them over and over again. Unlike many prog bands that feel to me like they try to force variety, it just flows smoothly for Matt.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is not a Theocracy fan.

It's funny how 2 people can see the same thing so differently.

That and the overly long songs and I just got bored with it. I tried. I even own to downloads of their albums. I never play them.
I feel the same way about Red as well. I may end up ditching their whole CD catalog. I never play that, either. They don't have the long songs, but they do sound all the same.

I heard that Styx was regrouping to do a concept album based on your life but made to sound like a Japanese robot love story.
It's called "Killjoy Was Here!"
