NEWS: The Judge The Juror meet the “Heliconian Optivisor”?

Ahead of an imminent run of shows with  The Hallowed Catharsis and Plague Doctor in their native Canada, The Judge The Juror have pulled a blistering new cut called “Heliconian Optivisor” out from the magicians hat. A track that dives deep into the psychological tension of viewing the world through distorted lenses and the red flags we fail to see until it’s too late, its a Technical Death Metal piece with psychedelic synths and progressive structures, reflecting the band’s desire to find authentic community without compromising identity.

Vocalist and programmer David W Frontenac comments: “What happens when you realize that you may have been viewing parts of your life through a lens you didn’t create? This song speaks of our human desire to find community and belonging that doesn’t come at the cost of selling our souls to fit in. This sentiment has been an ongoing discussion for the band members, as we try to carve a new, unique, and niche sound. We don’t always know where we fit into the metal scene, but we know we want to be authentic and stay true to what we believe without compromising. This balancing creates a push and pull of emotions that the musical structure of the song builds on”
