Inquisition (… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands with the name Inquisition
Inquisition (Unites States - Agonia Records artist) is a black metal band from Seattle, Washington USA with origins in Colombia South America where the founder, Dagon, was living at the time. The band was fully realized in 1996 when Dagon left Colombia and moved back to the United States where he met Incubus, who joined on drums that same year.This line-up has remained stable for more than fifteen years. Their sound involves the combination of old school Thrash metal, major guitar progressions with the depth and darkness of black metal's chaotic minor guitar progressions. Dagon's voice is very monotonous and chant like and does not sound like any voice typically used in Black Metal. Dagon has expressed that his vocal style is not meant to reflect that of a human, but rather that of an unseen entity in demonic form. The topics that form part of band's songs are everything from classic medieval Satanism to the dark laws of astro physics and the universe in general joined into one unit.
Inquisition was also punk rock band from Richmond, Virginia, United States. They were active in the mid 1990s, and were a large influence on the local scene. Several members went on to form other bands such as Strike Anywhere, River City High, and Ann Beretta. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition_(punk_band)
Ancient Monumental War Hymn
Inquisition Lyrics

Lucifer I call
Berith one of war
Hymns of battle roar!
Flesh of Christians rip
Blood of feeble drip
Bones are burnt to ash
Realm of Christ will fall
Underworld shall rise
Reign upon the light
Ancient rite of war...
Beast of fire speaks
Hell's gates open wide
Death of holy sons
Sacred graves open

I really like the sound of this band but damn, i really hope those vocals grow on me. Not the biggest fan yet.

Will definitely check those out. I don't mind the vocals that much anymore but I'm not quite sure what songs or albums to start with so thanks for the recommendation. Trying to get more into black metal and I'm really enjoying it so far. Mayhem is probably my favorite right now but this band is slowly getting up there too :)
U.N. PEACE PLAN
They will. Maybe this isnt the proper song. Start with Bloodshed, then Ominous Doctrines, then Obscure Verses, Then you should be fine with these vocals. Its a long process but it will happen.

Guitar sound reminds me of blizzard beasts

Ricardo Ardila
