Risen from the ashes of "In Memory Of" and "Mingle" A TRAITOR LIKE JUDAS (formerly Parker Frisbee) started breathing in December 2000. After intensive rehearsing the guys started to rock shows already three months later. Overwhelming crowd reactions at gigs strengthened their will to perform on stage and to invest all possible time and energy in the band. One year later the A TRAITOR LIKE JUDAS had grown to be a serious hardcore act and they were ready for the next big step. Their first European Tour together with Narziss.
Through their furious live shows the guys could convince Erdkampf Records from Austria to release their debut. Six months and many shows later the "Poems For A Dead Man" MCD saw the light of day right before the band’s second European tour, this time sharing vans and stages with Muad'Dib. After their successful tour Chris joined the band as second guitar player and A TRAITOR LIKE JUDAS finally was complete. The band joined forces with Winter Recordings in November 2002, who released their debut full length record “too desperate to breathe in” in Summer 2003. Another full European tour followed and erased all doubts about the fact that A TRAITOR LIKE JUDAS was one of the hardest working and most active metal / hardcore bands around. In 2004 A TRAITOR LIKE JUDAS decided to part ways with Winter Recordings and join the LET IT BURN familiy. It was obvious that both, the label and the band, shared the same ideas and working ethic. Their LET IT BURN debut is a split CD with their good friends UNDER SIEGE entitled “Ten Angry Men”. The 5 tracks A TRAITOR LIKE JUDAS contribute to this masterpiece of metal hardcore are the fastest, most technical and ass-kicking songs the band has written so far. Both bands will be on tour together by the end of the year to promote “ten angry men”, one of the top 5 European hardcore records of 2004.
