A Traitor Like Judas have come a long way since their origin almost 10 years ago. Being one of the European lighthouses when metalcore emerged as the next big thing, the band later on almost disbanded over their agonizing line-up changes. However the βband-soulβ composed of an infinite passion for playing heavy music, a nonbreakable will to play as many shows as possible and a deeply rooted friendship between the band members remained untouched through all these years.Β
A Traitor Like Judasβ major βrestartβ in 2010 is marked by one single, unifying cause: to create the most intense and powerful metal- and hardcore album of their career and that is exactly what βEndtimesβ (Swell Creek / Acuity.Music) became. Within only a couple of weeks the band was flooded with show offers, frenetic fan response and consistently positive press feedback. A Traitor Like Judas also played more than 30 intense shows within the 4 months after the album release date, reclaiming Europeβs stages, returning to where they belong, entraining old fans and new ones.
To tie in with their regained success A Traitor Like Judas teamed up with their longtime friends and labelmates Maintain to create one of the hottest and enthralling split-releases in 2011: βLifetimesβ. This full length release is a veritable masterpiece of metal/core hymns - incredibly heavy with an intoxicating hardcore spirit, magnificent technical finery and fraught with absolutely uncheesy melody. All slickly produced by the hands of metal-mastermind Kristian Kohlmannslehner at Kohlekeller Studios. βLifetimesβ simply became an album that must be heard.
A Traitor Like Judas could not be more present as they are right now. There is no chance orΒ reason to avoid this band, just join them on their mission. These are their lifetimes, so letβs go!

A Traitor Like Judas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open your eyes can you stand what you see
Without a doubt it is frightening to the bones
Use your voice as the weapon drop the words like bombs
Open your ears hear the screams now it's time to act
Use your hands to rebuild their hope
Take a look around
Without a doubt it is frightening to the bones
Kick against the bricks scream against the wall
Join the fight
Use your words and make it fall
Down! Fall down!
Bang Bang shoot me down!
Bang Bang shot you down!
I'm fed up of living in the line of fire (x2)
----------------------------------------------------------
Take a look around
Your eyes are open now (x2)
It depends on you and me
no one can stup us right now
Use your voice as the weapon drop the words like bombs
Open your ears hear the screams now it's time to act
Use your hands to rebuild their hope
(There won't be silence no more) (x2)
Use your voice
Use your word
like bombs! (???)
