Judicator

Judicator is a US-based power metal band known for their epic storytelling and high-energy sound, formed in 2012. Blending traditional power metal with progressive influences, they’ve carved a niche with concept albums rooted in history and literature—like *Let There Be Nothing* (2021), which chronicles Byzantine general Belisarius, or *The Majesty of Decay* (2022), a poignant exploration of mortality set during World War I. Their work often features intricate guitar work, soaring vocals (courtesy of John Yelland, who also fronts Dire Peril), and lyrics that dive into dark, human themes, as seen in fan favorites like *The Black Elk* and *I Am the Void*.

With releases like *Concord* (2023) and *Tomorrow’s Sun* (2023), Judicator continues to refine their signature mix of aggression and melody, earning a loyal following among fans of bands like Blind Guardian and Iced Earth. They wear their influences proudly but never shy from experimentation, whether channeling folk-inspired harmonies or tackling weighty narratives. Catch them live for a mix of headbanging riffs and history lessons—you’ll leave smarter *and* louder.
