Description
Introduction [1] Wearing corpse paint and gauntlets, Akhenaten stands in an aggressive pose with "God Is Dead" written in black paint across his torso. He declares, "I have no other wish than to defame the name of christ. I will take every opportunity to spread nihilistic propaganda. I live in Satan's wrath." (1) So speaks Akhenaten, sole member of Judas Iscariot, an American Black Metal project now defunct. Like other Black Metal bands, Judas Iscariot views Christianity as the cause of many social problems: "The ideas of christianity do nothing more than support weakness and continue to pervert and distort rationality." (2) When asked about the primary purpose of his band, Akhenaten responds, "Judas Iscariot seeks to spread propaganda which in part is a stepping stone on the long path to the ultimate, inevitable and permanent demise of the christian moral disease." (3) He continues, "The time has come that all sheep, all benevolent subspecies must be thrown into a pit of everlasting fire. The subhuman emotions of compassion, benevolence, and mercy shall no longer be tolerated. We must never again allow Christianity to suffocate the human spirit and potential." (4)
