Iscariot

Hailing from Valparaiso, IN, where they formed in 2004, Iscariot performs relentless metalcore infused with death metal brutality, and is comprised of vocalist Derrick Harding, guitarists Adam Higgins and Justin Taylor, bassist Ian McConnell, and drummer Alex Quiles. With sonic comparisons including Unearth, the Red Chord, and Lamb of God, the quintet debuted with a self-produced EP that went on to sell over 2,000 copies at shows. Then the band inked a deal with 567 Records to release their first full album, Lifeless Design, in 2006. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
