Judas Iscariot - Moonlight Butchery
This MCD is the debut release for Judas Iscariot on No Colours records. Ironically, this may also be the last Judas Iscariot CD ever released as rumor has it that Andy Harris has ended this project. If this is so, and there are no further releases, what a fucking way to go. Moonlight Butchery is cold, hateful and as bleak as only Burzum could get during their heyday. In fact, the best way to describe Judas Iscariot is to say that this is what Burzum could have been if Varg had stayed Metal and not gone all Dark Ambient. This CD also proves that grim, hateful music can be created in harmony with good sound and exceptional playing. Judas Iscariot has consistently gone with good, clear production over the “necro” style of Black Fucking Metal where everything has to sound like shit. Also recruited for this release was Dark Ambient/Industrial artists Puissance (who have released a dearth of material through Cold Meat Industries and Regain Records for those unfamiliar with their music), who provide between-track intros. Even though there are only four songs on this MCD, the quality of the music stands supreme. This is what true Black Fucking Metal is all about. The only thing keeping this from absolute perfection is the sound inconsistency between the fourth song and the other three. The final track on this MCD was recorded at a different time and at a different place, resulting in a song that has different guitar and drum tones than the previous material. Even though the song still kills, it throws things off by just enough to call attention to itself.
