Judas Iscariot was created by Akhenaten back in 1992 as a solo band. He released his first demo in 1993. In 1995 the debut album "The Cold Earth Slept Below" was released on Moribund Records.
He released the 7" EP "Arise, My Lord" in 1996. He also participated in
two other bands, Sarcophagus and Seeds of Hate. "Thy Dying Light" was
recorded and was to be released at Head Not Found but the parent company
Voices of Wonder refused to release due to the extremity of Judas
Iscariot. It was later released by Moribund Records Cult.
Akhenaten moved from America to Germany and recorded "Of Great
Eternity" which was released in 1997. The following two years he managed
to release "Distant in Solitary Night" which was recorded back in 1996.
He also signed a contract with the American label Red Stream. They had
heard his new work "Heaven in Flames" and agreed to release it. In 2000
he released the MCD "Dethroned, Conquered and Forgotten".
Same year, a live album "Under the Black Sun" was released and a
split 7" EP with Krieg, "To the Coming Age of Intolerance" in 2001.
In 2002, "To Embrace the Corpses Bleeding" and the MCD "Moonlight
Butchery" were released, also the EPs "March of the Apocalypse" and
"Midnight Frost". Shortly after, Akhenaten announced that he decided to
end the band.
Judas Iscariot became one of the most important bands of USBM scene. Akhenaten was a great influence in the black metal, with many collaborations in bands like Krieg, Maniac Butcher, Nargaroth, Sarcophagus and many more.
