“Iskariot” does not look at history’s most misunderstood figure as a villain, but as a key—a symbol of the necessary sacrifice required to shatter illusions. The track explores the moment we stop looking outward for answers and begin to unearth the dormant wisdom buried within ourselves.
It is a song about becoming whole again by embracing the parts of the story we were told to forget.
Through a landscape of heavy atmosphere and the raw, grounded delivery of Tijs Vanneste, “Iskariot” challenges the listener to strip away the noise of the modern world. It is a powerful invitation to reclaim one’s own narrative and find the strength that lies in the shadows of the past. As the opening movement of the Revelations EP, it marks the beginning of the end: a journey back to the source.
