Almost immediately you're going to hear the chief influences on this band musically. Pressing the play button might as well be like popping in a long lost Blind Guardian album from the early 90's. The infectious speed metal riffs with bits of thrash, a melody driven vocal attack with copious harmonized layers, and conceptual lyrics constructed of an epic story. All of the pieces of the puzzle fall right into place. While for some bands this is a limitation and the tough measuring stick to live up to, Judicator manage to strike a balance of worship and originality which most others aren't able to achieve (even the mighty Savage Circus borrow a bit too much from BG/Iron Savior in their approach, in my opinion). This becomes readily apparent on track 2, Into The Sea Of Bayonets, when guest death

A delightfully sleazy low-fi trio of numbers is displayed on the self-titled debut EP from Chicago's Stone Cold Outlaw.
The band's been gradually building up a profile and have been picked up as openers by the likes of Tracii Guns' League of Gentlemen as well as appearing at the Rock 'N' The Valley Festival alongside Warrant and Skid Row. They were also featured at Chicago's Rocklahoma launch party at The Double Door, co-headlining with fellow 'Windy City' rockers Hessler.
"Excess" slices this EP wide open with Mark Shred's razor like riff over the punky rasp of Polish lead vocalist Karina Sunqueen, who's out on the town 'being your fantasy, shots of whiskey and getting frisky' -- not a great rhyme to be sure but trust me, it works.
