Prosthetic Records is proud to announce the signing of power metal ensemble, JUDICATOR. The band are gearing up for the release of their fifth studio album, Let There Be Nothing - due for release via Prosthetic on July 24. Today they have released the first single from the album, titled Gloria, which is streaming below. Pre-orders for Let There Be Nothing are available now.
Of the single, the band comments:
"Gloria is the thematic heart of the Let There Be Nothing. It is a story of desperation, love, and valor in the heat of an unexpected battle. Our longtime friend and collaborator from Soulmass/Lascaille's Shroud Mercedes Victoria returns for the first time since our third album, featuring a stunning and emotional performance. Musically, the song contains the hallmarks our fans have come to expect from a lead single--big riffs and big vocals that show just a hint of what the album will bring."
E.J Johantgen of Prosthetic Records says of the signing:
"We are honored to be working with JUDICATOR - a band very much doing their own thing, and leading the way. JUDICATOR could well represent the next evolution in American Heavy Metal.”
And the band add:
"We are overjoyed to announce our singing with Prosthetic Records! This is really a dream come true for JUDICATOR as we have found a partnership that supports and believes in our non-traditional band setup and 'albums first' mentality. The band has come so far from being a bedroom recording project to what it is now, and we are thrilled that this partnership will allow us to deliver to our fans that brought us all this way on a whole new level. We are thrilled to embark in a whole new era of the band and explore our power metal dream to its fullest!"
As with past releases Let There Be Nothing is a concept album, steeped in historical references and tales of the past. However, the blood pumping through the veins of the music is - as ever - rich with human emotion and rooted in universal experience, regardless of what era your fortune has dictated you dwell within.
