Canadian punk-rock band Billy Talent is excited to release their thrilling new single “Judged,” which is the fifth and final song from their upcoming album titled “Crisis of Faith.” Clocking in at just under two and a half minutes, “Judged” is energetic and doesn’t hold back. It delivers a powerful punch, filled with the same intense and untamed spirit that longtime fans have come to love over the years.
The track opens with a scream and continues with hard-hitting guitar riffs and driving drums. Lead singer Benjamin Kowalewicz expresses his feelings about injustice in today’s world, making it clear that the band is bold and unafraid to challenge authority. Guitarist Ian D’Sa contributes sharp guitar solos, while bassist Jonathan Gallant and drummer Jordan Hastings keep the rhythm strong and intense. Even after two decades, Billy Talent shows they still have the energy and passion that fans expect.
“Judged” also carries a more profound emotional message. In an interview with Kerrang!, Kowalewicz highlighted the significance of their journey together as a band. He shared a sense of gratitude for still being together after such a long time. This spirit of resilience and determination is reflected in the song, while it’s loud and fiery, it also comes from a place of strength and a refusal to fade away quietly.
