About Me

" Black metal solo project created by the incredible Akhenaten.The band is noted fot its aproach to the purest of nihilistic black metal, that gained an exalted status on the underground scene.Many releases are issued in strictly limited edition formats.Initial recordings, billed as Heidegger in 1992, were apparently titled after the theorist Martin Heidegger.Judas Iscariot bowed in with the 1993 Demo "Judas Iscariot". It was to be two years before the follow up "The Cold Earth Slept Below". Further Sessions ensued with 1996's "The Dying Light", "Distant In Solitary Night", and "An Ancient Starry Sky".Two tracks from the "Distant In Solitary Light" album were also issued in 7" single format entitled "Arise, My Lord" on Akhenaten's own label Breath Of Night.Akhenaten would relocate to Germany for later releases and would also become bass player for the infamous Czech black metal act Maniac Butcher.Judas Iscariot have performed live as a trio with Akhenaten on vocals and Guitar with Lord Imperial of Krieg on bass and Proscriptor McGovern of Absu on drums at the Texan "Sacrifice The Nazarene Child" festival during 1999.A later line up for a headlining performance at the "Under The Black Sun" festival in Germany found Lord Imperial staying the course with Maniac Butcher's Butcher on drums and secondary guitars courtesy of Nargaroth's Kanwulf. This show was captured on the vinyl album "Under The Black Sun - Live".Limited to a mere 500 copies, the album, which included alongside the live cuts an 11 minute studio track "Portions Of Eternity Too Great For The Eyes Of Man", would much to Akhenaten's changrin command high prices on Internet auction houses as demand far outstripped supply.The band's 1993 Demo was combined recordings from Krieg, Eternal Majesty, and Macabre Omen for release on the French Spikekult label.Akhenaten was announced as forging part of the Krieg live ip as bass player for the 2000 "Sacrifice The Nazarenr Child" event but in the event it would be Lust's S. Diabolus who filled the role.Akhenaten also operates Weltmacht (with Lord Imperial) and the Black Death Metal Act Sarcophagus.
