Vindicator

Vindicator is a thrash metal band from Ohio, founded in 2005 by brothers Vic and Jesse Stown along with longtime friend Marshall Law. Emerging from the remnants of their earlier band Violent Night, Vindicator quickly carved out a reputation for delivering classic thrash metal infused with memorable hooks and raw energy reminiscent of the mid-1980s thrash scene. Their music combines speed, aggression, and a thrash-mosh spirit that appeals to dedicated fans of the genre. Over the years, they've consistently put out solid releases including their debut full-length album *There Will Be Blood* (2008) and follow-ups like *The Antique Witcheries* (2010) and *United We Fall* (2012), steadily growing their fanbase through energetic live shows and regional tours.

Led by Vic Stown on guitar and vocals, who has described the band as a pursuit of redemption and creative freedom, Vindicator continues to thrive with a lineup that has evolved but maintained its core thrash identity. They've shared stages with notable thrash acts and remain active in the scene, releasing recent material such as *Communal Decay* and singles like *Fog of War* and *Total Destruction*. Their dedication to thrash metal's spirit and craft keeps them relevant and respected among underground metal circles.
