Born August 24th 1968 in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil to a Yugoslavian mother, from Maribor, Slovenia and a German father, Kisser was originally a roadie for founding vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera. He was asked to join the band in 1987 following the departure of original lead guitarist Jairo Guedes.
He is largely responsible for bringing a more progressive sound to the band starting with the Schizophrenia album (1987). He studied classical guitar for several years before joining Sepultura.
During his early days, he frequently used Charvel/Jackson guitars (especially the one with Red Hot Chili Peppers' stickers and the white Randy Rhoads model for the Arise album). Recently he is being endorsed by Fender and is using Stratocaster model, though he still endorses Jackson and has been known to use them at a few live performances.
A Million Judas Iscariotes
Andreas Kisser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no room, love is doomed
March within' pain and fear
What do you need? look what's near
Overweight, overpaid, overload, overdose.
The air is ill, turn off all lights
The fate is sealed, for he who flies
The tale is done, for he who lies
Open your eyes and mind
Open you eyes now!
Constitution, violation, revolution, obligation.
Andreas Kisser's song A Million Judas Iscariotes is a powerful and thought-provoking track that discusses the brutal truth and the final move. The song talks about how there's no room for love, and how love is doomed. It's about marching within pain and fear and the need to take a closer look at what's near. The song paints a picture of a world that is overweight, overpaid, and suffering from an overload and overdose. The air is ill, and there's a need to turn off all lights to see clearly.
The song goes on to speak about how there's no skill in proving oneself right, and how fate is sealed for those who try to fly. The tale is done for those who lie, and it's time to open our eyes and minds. The song's message is clear; there's a need for revolution when there is a constitution violation. The overall message of the song seems to be that it's time to wake up and take action before it's too late.
