“Children of Night” is Jonathan Young’s first full length project with Judge and Jury Records and features a wide range of musical talent from heavy metal to Irish folk music. With each song incredibly unique, this thematic and powerful project makes listeners feel as if they are the hero of their own fantastical journey.

Jonathan Young is a new breed of musician. Taking the internet by storm since 2014 with his dark & deep ‘villain’ voice - writing, producing & playing every instrument himself, and leading a new generation into a fantasy world of epic & cinematic heavy metal - one viral video at a time. While rising to self-made success online, Jonathan flexed his writing & production muscles with the release of “Starship Velociraptor” in 2021 - an 11-song heavy metal fantasy space opera that fans embraced as a tour-de-force of his creativity. Attracting the attention of Grammy-winning producer Howard Benson & record breaking songwriter & drummer Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace, Jonathan Young now co-produces music alongside them as a member of their world-renowned production team at Judge & Jury Records - including his upcoming original album, “Children of Night”.
