‘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’s debut solo album ‘Children of Night’ is a dark & epic heavy metal odyssey powered by Young’s sheer force of will.
Writing & recording all the instruments and lyrics himself, Young single-handedly carries you on a journey to seek truth and purpose in a dying, unjust world.
Young carves out a unique sound that breaks the boundaries of modern rock – paying homage to Metal’s catchy & rebellious roots alongside his legendary co-producers Howard Benson and Neil Sanderson (of Three Days Grace) while simultaneously giving voice to his ‘video game generation’, making you feel like a fantasy hero on a brutal quest.
‘Drinking Blood’ description:
Drinking Blood is Jonathan Young’s scathing anthem of hatred towards the hypocrisy and injustice of the world that will have you headbanging and screaming alongside him on all your gym playlists.
Taking influences from bands like Bring Me the Horizon, Sabaton and the hits of his co-producers Howard Benson & Neil Sanderson, Drinking Blood is the perfect track to get you hooked on Jonathan Young’s debut solo album ‘Children of Night’.

‘Fight The Tide’
The YouTube star JONATHAN YOUNG has released a new, stunning single entitled ‘Fight The Tide’.
The song, featuring Colm R. McGuinness, invites you to board a vessel, with a stormy ocean that is nothing but the representation of life’s difficulties.
What we have to do is find the strength within ourselves and ‘fight the tide’.
Jonathan Young stated about the song:
“’Fight the Tide’ is a heroic folk rock anthem about resisting the pressure of the world around you to do what’s right, and become stronger – I recruited my dear friend Colm McGuinness straight out of Ireland to lend all of his fantasy folk music expertise to give this song an edge that makes you feel like an epic hero! I’m really excited for people to hear this one.”
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’ – with the singles currently being released.
Acting as a one-man band, Colm R. McGuinness is a multi-talented musician with the vocal range of a master.
He is a violinist, cello player, singer and YouTuber.
Colm’s work prior to shanties were orchestral remixes of famous songs, lending credence to his knowledge of instruments and powerful voice.
He also produced Lo-Fi tracks and has composed music for film, tv, and video games.
