Various - To The Triumph Of Evil A Tribute To Judas Iscariot

Review by Phil Wiley

To The Triumph Of Evil: A Blackened Salute to Judas Iscariot Alright, let’s get this straight—To The Triumph Of Evil: A Tribute To Judas Iscariot isn’t just another tribute album. This thing rips. Released in 2007 by Zerstörungs Produktionen and ISO666 Releases (yeah, those names alone scream blasphemy), it’s a raw, unrelenting homage to one of black metal's most infamous acts. With contributions from artists across Germany and Greece, this record doesn’t hold back—it slams the coffin lid shut and nails it with rusty spikes. Now, don’t expect some polished-over garbage here. Tracks like “Descent Into The Abyss” and “Gaze Upon Heaven In Flames” hit you like a fucking sledgehammer to the skull. Let me break it down for ya. First off, “Descent Into The Abyss.” Holy shit, this track grabs you by the throat right outta the gate. The drums are relentless—blast beats that sound like they were recorded in Satan’s own basement—and the guitars? They howl like banshees on fire. Whoever handled this cover understood the assignment: make it ugly, brutal, and unforgettable. You can almost feel the cold breath of hell seeping through your speakers as the vocals tear into your soul. It’s not perfect—it’s messy as fuck—but that’s what makes it so goddamn real. This ain’t background music; this is war. Then there’s “Gaze Upon Heaven In Flames,” which flips the script entirely. It starts slow, almost hauntingly atmospheric, before exploding into chaos halfway through. That contrast? Genius. It’s like staring at a calm sky seconds before it splits open with lightning. The riffage feels like razors slicing through your eardrums, while the shrieks sound like someone being dragged kicking and screaming into eternal damnation. If I had to pick one song to sum up this entire album, this would be it—a masterclass in tension and release. Look, I’m not gonna lie—the production quality ain’t exactly pristine. But honestly? That’s part of its charm. Mastered by James B., the sound has this gritty, underground vibe that screams authenticity over polish any day. And props to Cameron for the artwork—it’s dark, twisted, and fits the whole package perfectly. Gionata Potenti’s layout deserves a nod too because, damn, those visuals stick with you long after the music stops. What really stands out about this album is how much heart went into it. These musicians didn’t just slap together some half-assed covers—they bled for them. Every note drips with venom and reverence for Judas Iscariot’s legacy. Hell, even Akhenaten and Lovernios/Ma-Kahru throwing their names into the mix shows how serious everyone took this project. Here’s the kicker though—this album made me realize something kinda fucked up. Listening to these tracks, especially side-by-side with the originals, reminds you how fleeting everything is. Even evil fades eventually. Whether it’s the raw aggression of black metal or life itself, nothing lasts forever. Weird thought, huh? But hey, maybe that’s why we keep coming back to albums like this—to remind ourselves we’re still alive enough to feel something. So yeah, if you’re looking for an easy listen, go elsewhere. But if you want to dive headfirst into darkness, rage, and sheer sonic destruction, To The Triumph Of Evil will leave you gasping for air. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you when it fucks you up.
