A Traitor Like Judas

If you were in a band, believe me, you would have quit in consideration of the problems these guys have struggled through within the last two years. The loss of a singer, being forced to play shows with fill-in musicians, pouring oil on troubled water, just trying to keep the pot boiling. But A Traitor Like Judas outlived this crisis, they survived.
So what’s the thrill with today’s metal/core hype bands that come and go like commuters at 5pm? It’s all hollow words and music, no one will remember them in 1 or 2 years anyway. A Traitor Like Judas can come up with something these clones desperately lack: continuity and staying power. The band is about to return to the forefront of a scene they helped create. The current metalcore-genre has been co-shaped by A Traitor Like Judas at a time when Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn were still insider tips and Neaera hadn’t even started thinking about founding a band. Ironically none of these bands hardly ever reached the intensity and originality of A Traitor Like Judas despite their poularity.
A Traitor Like Judas engage a tangible raid on their listeners with their music. The Band traverses nightmarish walls of sound , bludgeoning riffs with haunting chord passages and melodic guiding themes, devastating double bass drumming like a rhythmic freight train and above all the most fatal and concise breakdowns. With Jasper on vocals A Traitor Like Judas have found a new platoon leader in their sonic assault. Diverse and powerful he manages to articulate the band’s deep-rooted fervor and fury.
Backed up by their monstrous “Nightmare Inc.” album, almost 600 (!) shows all over Europe, a new album in the works that easily outclasses all of the band’s previous material and most of all an irrepressible hunger for more, A Traitor Like Judas is heading full force back into the metal and hardcore world with the means to tear through every listener in their path.
