The Majesty of Decay

by Judicator

supported by

Killjoy While I consider myself a power metal fan, I tend to be somewhat picky with what strikes my fancy. It therefore comes as no surprise that the sweeping progressive changes are what it took to finally get me on board with Judicator. The horns in The High Priestess were what initially piqued my interest, but the rest of the songs rapidly reeled me in too. I found the album to be a bit back-loaded, so make sure to give it a complete listen if this is your first time on this epic journey. Favorite track: The High Priestess.

Henrik Thøgersen I wholeheartedly applaud Judicator for exploring new progressive avenues of songwriting, but after the excellently ensnaring Euphoric Parasitism, I must admit I sometimes find myself skipping to the action, so to speak, which for me is Ursa Major and onwards. Never a dull moment after that! Favorite track: Ursa Major.

Nick Refreshing and powerful. Judicator's best since 2015's At the Expense of Humanity. Thoughtful and redemptive, this album moves me, especially the last 2 tracks as an incredible grand finale!
"If there's one thing that I've learned in all my years, having your heart ripped out can be a source of grace.
And your shame, when laid out to see
Can begin to make you who you're supposed to be" Favorite track: Metamorphosis.
