Review
There is an entire parallel universe of Christian popular culture out there. They have Christian music, books, and movies in every genre (save pornography, I think). It was a pretty big deal at my alma mater, a place where the weekly "Praise" sing-along was the central social event, or so I gathered, having never gone myself. Most of the time this kind of thing is wholly insulated from the rest of pop culture, although the occasional crossover does become successful (Amy Grant, Left Behind, etc.). The problem with most of it is that it's message first, art second. It's also generally intended to offend as little as possible (even though offense is sure to be made if Christian doctrine is to be strictly interpreted), and be uplifting, and those attitudes bleed further into the art itself. In the case of metal, that often strips away the danger of the music, a necessary element.But Theocracy
aren't overly concerned about causing offense. They address Luther's 95 Theses, a topic sure to offend Catholics. They also address the doctrine of Original Sin, surely offending the many Christians who don't accept the doctrine (the popular Left Behind books assume it's incorrect). So Theocracy successfully jumped a major hurdle in the path of a Christian metal band.
