Blake Judd is an American musician, graphic artist and co-founder of Battle Kommand Records.

Early in his career, he was guitarist and/or vocalist in the black metal band Ezurate and in the now-defunct thrash/black metal band Helms Deep. He also worked at Metal Haven, a heavy metal record store in Chicago.^[1] In 2000 he formed the psychedelic, atmospheric black metal band Nachtmystium, and in 2005 he was commissioned by the Swedish underground label Total Holocaust Records to create the black metal "supergroup" Twilight. Additionally, he was session musician on Krieg's final album Blue Miasma (2006). Judd for many years performed under the pseudonym "Azentrius."

In 2004, together with Rebecca Clegg, Judd founded the independent label Battle Kommand Records (BKR), located in St. Charles, Ill. (U.S.). The company's stated intent is to release "some of the world's most extreme music."^[2] BKR has thus far concentrated on the black, doom and death metal genres as well as noise and ambient music.
