Judicator – Concord is the triumphant seventh full-length album from Salt Lake City-based American power metal warriors Judicator, released on March 28, 2025 (this is the re-issue). Led by the charismatic tenor of frontman John Yelland, this self-released powerhouse (initially funded through a successful Kickstarter) marks a bold thematic pivot to the rugged mythos of the American West—exploring identity, cultural disconnection, survival, hope amid despair, family legacies, faith, and the scars of history.
Blending classic power metal gallops, soaring melodies, and anthemic choruses with progressive flourishes and Americana-infused instrumentation (think fiddle, banjo, and saxophone accents), Concord delivers a rich, multifaceted sound that's both epic and grounded. It's a return to the band's storytelling roots with memorable riffs, layered orchestration, and emotionally charged lyrics that confront the beauty and brutality of the frontier spirit.
Clocking in around 50-51 minutes across 9 tracks, Concord earns praise for its replayability, monster choruses, and strong bookends—standing as a superior entry in 2025's power metal scene and a solid evolution for the band post-lineup changes. Perfect for fans of Blind Guardian-inspired American power metal, historical concept albums, or anyone craving thoughtful, high-energy heavy metal with a Western twist. Whether you're riding through the badlands or just seeking killer melodies and meaningful lyrics, Concord raises the horns high—grab it and charge forward!
