Outbound Flight

karpsmom Calling a 2-track release an EP is bold, but bold is a perfect word to describe Justicar, & despite the short track quantity, the release digests like an EP. Robust & substantive enough to not feel like a single, while short enough to leave a listener hungry for a fulllength.

Absolutely ripping, catchy, expertly-executed guitar work; present, clanky, meaty bass; airtight drumming; & soaring, broad-ranged vocals.

Strikes an excellent balance between feeling fresh, & like classic power metal.

From beyond uncharted stars We rise among fractured realms Unity our only hope This is our destiny Far Outsiders threaten all Extragalactic dynasty They come to dash away our hopes They come to shatter dreams The moment of truth has come The galaxy lies in flames We all must unite as one And protect what remains Far away beyond our homes We reach into the skies Ascendancy forevermore Our will to survive Force Commander in control Leading the way to the Outbound Flight Working in shadows clandestine Dealing in sin Decisive man with grand design Sabotage and new treaties signed Stage for mayhem is set now The play unfolds The moment of truth has come The galaxy lies in flames We all must unite as one And protect what remains Far away beyond our homes We reach into the skies Ascendancy forevermore Our will to survive The moment of truth has come The galaxy lies in flames We all must unite as one And protect what remains Far away beyond our homes We reach into the skies Ascendancy forevermore Our will to survive

The Grand Admiral: 
“Without risk, there is no discovery. Without discovery there is no progress.”
 The Wizard: 
“Therein lies the future of the galaxy” Awaken the stars to journey Beyond the known regions Extragalactic mission Now setting off to alien space A wizard’s plans are challenged By the darkness in plain sight His machinations cruel With his strings attached to all Come into the black A new destiny awaits A warrior appears Lead by the hands of fate Two empires rising A third lay in the dark We must stop this journey Before it ever starts Cold and calm reserve With a fire in his eyes Starwinds now engaged In desperate battle and defeat A warrior outgunned With no chances to survive A blackened wind is swirling Through these nebulas of deceit Come into the light A new destiny awaits A warrior is chosen For a far greater fate Exile forced upon An heir to the empire A deadly alliance Formed behind crooked smiles The Wizard’s rage unleashed Upon the heir Radiation spilling There’s no hope for this lost cause A force commander no longer Heresy is now his name The sacrifice is endless There is no price too high A sacrifice for his people And a ruthless will to see beyond What difference can one make? Is there no line that can’t be crossed? Wings of angels burning now Evaporating in time and space Dying in the black Destiny now fades away A warrior exiled Acceptance of his fate Two empire falling A third burns in the dark This journey was cursed No chance to depart

about

The debut EP by US Power Metal band JUSTICAR!

Formed by Judicator cofounder and ex-guitarist Alicia Cordisco (also Transgressive, Ex-Project: Roenwolfe), and Judicator ex-lead guitarist Joshua Payne (also Transgressive, Leshen, and solo).

Joining them is Jordan Rutledge (Valyria) on vocals, Leona Hayward (Owlbear, Transgressive ex-Project: Roenwolfe, ex-Skelator, etc) on bass guitar, and Jeff Taft (Owlbear, Ex-Adamantis) on third/live guitar.

The band promises to continue the collective veteran power metal career of the lineup into a band of high intensity, tempo, and melodic metal with a focus on not just a love of the genre, but of heavy metal, and of the stories, characters, and themes that have brought us joy in fictional works.

The first target? The Star Wars Expanded Universe.

The debut EP is a retelling of the acclaimed Timothy Zahn novel 'Outbound Flight' as a prelude to their upcoming debut album, "The Warlord's Gambit," which will be an adaptational retelling of Zahn's landmark Thrawn Trilogy.

The band has plans to cover many other works of fiction in the future, but begins by delivering on an old promise from times past to recall the legend of Grand Admiral Thrawn and pay homage to a story they cherish.
