More on Judas Iscariot
Description from Wikipedia:
Judas Iscariot was an American black metal band, originally called Heidegger, formed in 1992 as a solo project of Andrew Harris, who performed under the pseudonym Akhenaten (after the Egyptian Pharaoh of the same name). However, with the release of Heaven in Flames (1999), Duane Timlin (aka Cryptic Winter) joined the band as a session drummer. From 1999 to 2000, Akhenaten twice performed live with a line-up featuring members from Nargaroth, Krieg, Absu, and Maniac Butcher.
As is common for the genre, themes often directed against religion and explored a fascination with nihilistic philosophy.
After relocating to Germany, Akhenaten announced the demise of Judas Iscariot on August 25, 2002. == Ideology ==
As the band's name implied, Akhenaten's stated goal was to spread anti-Christian ideology through music. The emotion was particularly directed toward Christian views of morality and compassion, which he believed promoted human weakness instead of individuality and personal development. Akhenaten considered Judas Iscariot a documentation of one individual's struggle with the moral boundaries set by Christianity.
Akhenaten saw himself as a nihilist filled with deep emotions of hate towards capitalism and religion, particularly Christian views of morality and compassion. He viewed Christianity as a religion "from a subhuman origin“, "foreign to the Aryan race" and as promoting human weakness instead of individuality and personal development. Akhenaten furthermore expressed deep emotions of contempt towards capitalism, which he dismissed as inextricably linked to materialism.
