Signing with Steel Gallery Records on 21 July 2014, the band would release their debut The End Is Written on 29 September that same year. A follow-up in Visions & Creatures of Imagination saw release on 13 March 2017.

Official Biography[]
Doomocracy were formed in 2011 in Crete, Greece. Their debut album "The End is Written" which was released in 2014, took the Doom Metal world by storm, bringing the band to big stages and festivals around Europe.
Three years later, Doomocracy released their second album "Visions & Creatures of Imagination", which established Doomocracy as one of the best Doom Metal bands of the modern era.
In "Visions & Creatures of Imagination", Doomocracy paved a more progressive and powerful path of Doom Metal, something they continue in the new album.
And while "Visions & Creatures of Imagination" was praised by press and fans as one of the best metal albums of 2017, the new album, "Unorthodox" is setting the standards higher, since Doomocracy's technical and powerful Doom Metal in the vein of bands such as Solitude Aeturnus, Memory Garden, Memento Mori and Abstrakt Algebra, is a type of music performed just by a few. "Unorthodox", a conceptual story about days forgotten and people lost, was recorded at Devasoundz Studios in Athens, Greece with additional recordings at Groove Studio in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. The album is mixed & mastered by Simon Johansson and Mike Wead at SolnaSound Studio in Stockholm, Sweden.[3]
