In March 2017, Judd announced that Nachtmystium would re-unite after a four-year hiatus to play four live shows and record a new EP, titled "Resilient". The band performed at the "Festum Carnis Open Air Festival" in Wilseyville, California on July 7 and the Louisville Death Fest in Louisville, Kentucky on September 29. While at Festum Carnis, Judd issued refunds to fans he defrauded and offered to reimburse their concert admission fee. Judd announced on September 11 that Nachtmystium had signed a new record deal with Prophecy Productions to distribute "Resilient", which was released in November 2018.
