The Profile

Judas Iscariot is an American one-man black metal project from Illinois created by Andrew Jay Harris (Akhenaten). Active from 1992 to 2002, it became a key reference point for US black metal, channeling Norwegian second‑wave influence through raw production, repetitive hypnotic riffing, and stark, anti-religious and philosophical themes.

Founded in Illinois by Andrew Jay Harris (Akhenaten); one‑man project; influential within US black metal; thematically steeped in anti‑Christian nihilism and philosophical references; active 1992–2002.

The reviews portray Judas Iscariot as a seminal US one-man black metal project led by Akhenaten (Andrew Jay Harris). Heaven in Flames earns strong praise for production, vocals, and riffcraft. Distant in Solitary Night divides opinions yet is seen as influential within USBM. To Embrace the Corpses Bleeding is deemed fierce, structured, and depressive at times, with notable drum-machine blasts. Common threads include Norwegian influence, lo-fi chill, and stark, nihilist themes.
