The band went under this name until 1994 when they finally changed their name to In-Quest. The band released two albums in the late 90's, Extrusion:Battlehymns which was released in 1997, and Operation:Citadel which was released in 1999. It would take 4 years before they released new material. They had also brought in Sven De Caluwe as a vocalist, and they would release two albums with him as vocalist, Destination:Pyroclasm and Epileptic. De Caluwe would soon leave due to other band obligations, and ended up being replaced by swedish vocalist Miqe Löfberg. They would go on to release follow-up albums The Comatose Quandaries in 2005, and Made Out of Negative Matter in 2009. They have also released a vinyl EP in 2010 named The Liquidation Files. Their most recent album Chapter IIX: The Odyssey of Eternity was released in August of 2013. On February 12th, 2014 the band announced they were splitting up for the time being. The band stated it is a indefinite hiatus.
In-Quest have played at a number of festivals in Belgium and the Netherlands, such as Frostrock, Euroblast, Xmass Festival, Flanders Fields of Death, Arnhem Metal Meeting, and (alongside bands like Slipknot, Fear Factory, Nile, Motörhead, Saxon, and Ensiferum) Graspop Metal Meeting in 2005 (Metal Dome), 2006 (Marquee 1) and 2009 (at Mainstage).[1] Also in 2006, In-Quest opened for Fear Factory, on their "Fifteen Years of Fear" tour. They also supported Nile in 2005 on their EU tour.

In-Quest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hiding within a sick and infected mind
Unpredictable random acts
Of senseless violence
Chaotic rage
Taking revenge on the innocence
PRE
CHORUS
A frequency of hate
Hearing the voices scream inside our head
Giving us no rest until they're dead
A frequency of hate
Transmitting signals
Of a self-destructive pattern
Virus spreading through the system
Disconnected thoughts
Unpredictable random acts
Of senseless violence
Psychotic rage
Taking revenge on the innocence
Kill the innocent
Now, kill the innocent
PRE
CHORUS
The opening lines of In-Quest's "Cryotron Frequency" indicate the presence of dangerous, pent-up emotions that are confined to an unwell mind. The next line warns of the potential for irrational, erratic behavior that could cause harm to others, leading into a description of such violence as being without reason or purpose. "Chaotic rage" and a desire for revenge against innocence are painted as the motivators for these actions.
The pre-chorus suggests that the impact of these actions is far-reaching, with not only physical but psychological consequences. The chorus then introduces the metaphor of a "frequency of hate" that is transmitted through a self-destructive cycle and infects the minds of those who hear it. The voices described are those of the violent, hateful impulses the singer seeks to quell by harming others. The song evokes a sense of desperation and fear in response to what appears to be a sinister force gaining control over an unstable mind, and warns against the consequences of allowing anger to go unchecked.
