Judicator announce new album ‘Let There Be Nothing’

JUDICATOR have announced a new album!

Titled Let There Be Nothing, the upcoming album from the power metal ensemble is their fifth studio album and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via their new home at Prosthetic Records.

As with past releases, Let There Be Nothing is a concept album, steeped in historical references and tales of the past.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 rich with human emotion and rooted in universal experience, regardless of what era your fortune has dictated you dwell within.

The album follows Belisarius, a humble and renowned Byzantine general, on his campaigns to reconquer former Roman territories. While Belisarius is a master on the battlefield, his greatest struggle will be within. Political forces continually undermine his authority, and his wife’s infidelity will put both his faith and morals to the test. Let There be Nothing is a morality play framed within a sweeping, historical epic.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; titled Gloria. Speaking of the new song, the band says, 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.”
