Justice is a thrash metal band from Dürrbrunn, Germany, formed in 1989 by Ian Finlay (drums), Wolfgang Ott (bass) and Uli Friedel (guitar). Later Hannes Holzmann joined the band for a while before getting famous singer of J.B.O.. Holzmann and Finlay left Justice and were replaced by Rami Ali (drums), Frank Graffstett (guitar, vocals) and Michael 'Mitch' Schmitt (vocals).

They have released three studio albums, two EPs and four live albums. Their latest work is The Descendant, released in 2004. This album featured their perhaps biggest hit, "Climate."
