Judas Iscariot was an American black metal band. It began in 1992 as the solo-project of Andrew Harris, who performed under the pseudonym Akhenaten (after the Egyptian Pharaoh of the same name).

With the release of Heaven in Flames (1999), Duane Timlin (aka Cryptic Winter) joined the band as a session drummer. During 1999 and 2000, Akhenaten twice performed live with a line-up featuring members from Nargaroth, Krieg, Absu and Maniac Butcher.

After relocating to Germany, Akhenaten announced the end of Judas Iscariot on August 25, 2002.[1]

Later in 2018, a man named Blake Judd also known as "Azentrius" re-released several of the Judas Iscariot releases falsely claiming they were officially authorized by Akhenaten. [2]
