JUDICATOR have announced a new album!

Titled The Majesty Of Decay, the sixth studio album from the American power metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Let There Be Nothing and is scheduled to be released in November this year via Prosthetic Records. The album explores the subjects of love, family, and the transformation of suffering into something meaningful.

With members spread across the United States, recording for The Majesty Of Decay was certainly unique. Drums were engineered and recorded by Alex Bosson (HELION PRIME, LUNAR, PLANESWALKER). Brass was engineered and recorded by Michael Sasich at Man vs. Music. The album was edited by Will Salazar at Revenant Sound Studios. Reamping and mixing was completed by Carlos Alvarez at Dirty Viking Audio Production. Mastering and sequencing was completed by Brett Caldas-Lima at Tower Studio. In addition, the album features Angel Chatzitheodorou (ANGEL WOLF-BLACK, ex-BARE INFINITY) on the song Judgement. Artwork was provided by Marc Whisnant.

Alongside the announcement of the album, the band have released a new music video for lead single The High Priestess, which was first premiered via Metal Injection.

Speaking about the new song, the band comment, “The High Priestess is daring, it’s catchy, and so refreshing too! It’s our best idea of what it would look like if Tom Jones did heavy metal. We could have chosen any number of safe songs to introduce the new album, but we wanted to throw our fans a curveball. The rest of the album has plenty of speed, riffs, and prog, but only The High Priestess has a full brass section. This song embodies the spirit of JUDICATOR these days — fresh and fun, but incredibly sincere. We really hope you enjoy the single and music video!
