Hailing from Salt Lake City, USA, Judicator is a denim and leather-clad power metal act that will blow your hair back and excite your loins with its fervent riffs, wailing solos, and powerful vocals. Since their inception many years ago they have released six albums already and an EP âI Am The Voidâ is on the horizon. The EP features two heart-pounding tracks over 15 minutes that pack a punch. The song “The Curse of Feanor,â is a Blind Guardian cover as the band explains:
âRegarding âThe Curse of Feanor,â this is a song that our Patreon supporters voted on. The cover has been available to them for some time now, and we chose to release it to the public alongside âI am the Void.â. There isnât anything especially groundbreaking or innovative about the cover, but itâs a nice break from the emotional heaviness of âI am the Void.â Itâs good to conclude the EP with a cavalry charge like this.â
In 2010, John Yelland and Alicia Cordisco met at a Blind Guardian concert. The two developed a friendship and formed Judicator two years later. Prior to Cordiscoâs departure from the band, Yelland would write all the lyrics and Cordisco would write all the music.
Since 2022âs âThe Majesty of Decay,â however, Yelland has become the bandâs primary songwriter and lyricist. Mostly focused on historical topics, Judicator takes a look at everything from Napoleon Bonaparte to the renowned Byzantine general Belisarius. They donât shy away from heavy topics though, exemplified by the rollercoaster title track on this EP.
Judicator brings raw energy and enthusiasm to the stage. Through their performances, the band conjures imagery of both ancient battles and inner turmoil. They are recommended for fans of Scanner, Iron Savior, and Helion Prime.

“The Majesty of Decay is simply one of the best power metal albums released in the last few years, and potentially, my favorite Judicator yet.” – Angry Metal Guy
“This album is guaranteed that fans of Judicator will be talking about it for years to come. There are those which will utterly hate this album as a release that has gone too far in one direction. However, this is a gamble which has paid off and âThe Majesty of Decayâ is not only arguably one of the best albums released this year, but also debatably the best album that Judicator have ever released.” – Metal Digest
â[Judicator is] unmatched when it comes to delivering an illuminating experience that is both energized and heartfelt.â â GBHBL
âJudicator is something new, but still something excellent. And we sing along, with open shirts and fists pointing to the sky.â â Devilution
