Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot was one of a handful of American black metal stalwarts during the 90's, and like seemingly every underground black metal band, was essentially one guy, in this case Akhenaten. The album reviewed here is the last full-length recorded by the band, 2002's To Embrace The Corpses Bleeding, which is a frenetic and very Norwegian-sounding old-school black metal effort, though apparently a bit different than the earlier recordings.
