Theocracy (Metal, Christian, Progressive)


After listening to this band, you might want to talk your pastor into booking them to play at your next church function. Okay, that might be a little too much for the old blue haired folks who sleep in the back rows. The reality is that Theocracy truly rocks. The rhythms are powerful and tight, the singing is melodic and orchestral, and you can’t help but move to the music. Before I forget, it is about time that someone put Frosty and Rudolph in their place. You will just have to listen to their Christmas song to know what i mean. Although, I would have liked to have heard them put Santa in his place too. They sound like Dream Theater meets Savatage with richer vocals. So, I definitely recommend checking these guys out, if you are into fast heavy metal with great singing.

Peter Murr (Instrumental, Rock, Blues, Power Pop)


This week I’m kicking back and enjoying the work of Peter Murr from Brisbane, Queensland Australia. Pete’s music reminds me of Tangerine Dream meets a tame version of Andromeda. The Andromeda band I am referring to here was a fictional instrumental space rock group featured on an episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century back in the late 70′s and very early 80′s. For those who may not remember the Buck Roger’s seriel, the band Andromeda played mind altering music that caused those who heard it to go crazy for a time. With a surreal landscape of synthesized mood enhancing color and a gritty electronic sounding rhythm guitar to complement the feel, Pete’s sound really does give the hearer a sort of futuristic presence. Pete has also been known to collaborate with guitar virtuoso Jonas Tamas from Budapest Hungary, which I believe is a pretty awesome sounding combination from the clip I heard on Pete’s MySpace page. So, if you are into interesting instrumental-type music, I highly recommend checking Pete’s music out for yourself.
