1.1 Hello everyone. I have been lurking this forum for a couple of years now, and hadn't bothered to sign up until recently. When I first heard of Theocracy, I would come here and keep updated on the new album project. But information was so scattered, I found myself searching around to find various clips, always intending to make a centralized information post. Well, today's the day that it can start. After the timeline/link section, Visit the bottom for ways you can help.

3.1 Requests

Well, I'm sure I missed loads of info, so posting that would be awesome, then I could add it. As well, post to point out any spelling/information errors etc., it would also be appreciated.

The links in red are ones that I wasn't able to open. If you can, or have them uploaded elsewhere, post them so I can add it here.

Thanks, have a great day, and finish the album soon Matt

[Matt Smith]

Holy cow, that's incredible!
3 bassists already...LOL!

[PatrickHoyt]

yeah but you won't have to worry about losing any more bassists.

[0ilertay]

Ya I ran a quick run-through of the forums. I'm hoping some other guys will add more info + some fixed links. And ya, I'm liking your current lineup XD

[Killerah]

Whoa! What was that wedding music thing about? Can you post a link to the thread that came out of?

[0ilertay]

Sure
