Demon Hunter
Judge joined Demon Hunter in 2008, as a fill-in for lead guitarist Ethan Luck who left to join Relient K,[12] and rhythm guitarist Don Clark left to join Invisible Creature.[12] Judge officially joined in 2009, with touring member, Randy Torres (formerly Project 86).[13] Ryan Helm officially took of rhythm guitar, and the band recorded Judge and Helm's debut Demon Hunter album, The World Is a Thorn in 2010.[1] Helm left soon after the release, and was replaced by Jeremiah Scott.[citation needed] The band recorded True Defiance (2012) and Extremist (2014) with this line-up.
