Theocracy Celebrate Release of New Album 'Mosaic'

The day has come - THEOCRACY have risen after 7 years of musical silence to offer their new album »Mosaic« to the world! While the band are set to celebrate its release on stage at Loud And Proud Festival (Betzdorf, DE; www.lap-festival.de) this weekend, they also want to share their new music, which has been praised highly by press, with listeners in other places simultaneously. That's why the US progressive power metal outfit have prepared a lyric video for opening track 'Flicker' which was crafted by Ingo Spörl at Hard Media (https://hard-media.com/) and can be viewed on YouTube via the link below.

Lead vocalist Matt Smith states: "'Flicker' was one of the first tracks written for the »Mosaic« album. A fish-out-of-water tale of brutal honesty, the lyrics are a bit more straightforward and candid than usual from me, but that's what felt most authentic in the moment. Musically, it's aggressive, melodic, and fast, and sits somewhere slightly different for us, I think. It seemed like an obvious choice for the opening track of the record."

Purchase the album in the physical format of your choice (see below!), stream it or get digitally now, here: https://theocracy.afr.link/mosaicPR

»Mosaic« was recorded, produced, and mixed by THEOCRACY's own Matt Smith at Theocracized Studios and Full Moon Studios in Athens, GA and rounded off by skillful mastering engineers Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at The Lodge, NY. The album title is brilliantly showcased by its stain-glass-window-like artwork by Steven Howard (read an in-depth interview HERE).
