INQUISITION-BLOODSHED ACROSS THE EMPYREAN ALTAR BEYOND THE CELESTIAL ZENITH
The sound of David Icke's worst nightmare...This has a somewhat rawer and more abrasive production then their other albums. Inquisition is one of the best modern black metal acts currently active in the underground. The guitar tone,the chord progressions and the style of the riffs is very distinctive and unique to this band,
The mid range fetishism used by Inquisition gives it a unique enchanting tone separating it from the usual trebley higher register dominated black metal without crossing over into death territory.
It's iconic to the point that you can listen to most Inquisition tracks and know instantly that its Inquisition. The haunting medieval bends and vibrato on the guitars,the envelope filter washing over the riffs like waves of cold death. The haunting evil reptilian voice of the vocalist goes from brutal anthemic war cries to occult chantings calling fourth the destruction of all sentient life . The lyrics are beautiful hymns to cosmicism/satan and the end of all creation. There's little in the way of thrash/death/Deicide shock tactics to be found in the lyrics. You can hear a lot of their influences, early Dissection, Funeral Mist, mid-to-late period Burzum etc. But they manage to transcend their influences and accomplish something distinctively powerful and unique while staying true to the Kvlt. It's worth buying everything this band has put out. Fuck soulseek. This band deserves your loyalty. Buy all their releases, get an Inquisition backpatch and torch a few churches in their honor.
As far as all the controversy surrounding this bands politics.
I'm not a christian poser so i don't give a fuck. Hitler was about mass death and extinction. Hitler said that if he failed as a last resort he wanted to see the world in flames. That's fucking evil. Anthems like Crush The Jewish Prophet are brilliant. Its simple and to the point. Unlike the shock slogans from Deicide/NunSlaughter inspired acts that try too hard or fall back on cartoon luciferian euphemisms because they don't know about true satanism. Ignorant of the Order of Nine Angles and The M.L.O. their aesthetic tastes dictated more by Glen Benton than Heraclitus and Savetri Devi. Crush the Jewish Prophet is an anthem that calls us to action .That which offends us also provokes us to think.
Within the underground extreme metal bands are mostly screeching to the choir, so it's hard to make any lasting impact but Inquisition manages to achieve that. Cultural and Aesthetic Terrorism that effects the subculture as much as it does pop culture. Thats a major accomplishment. It pisses off even desensitized metalheads and it serves as a way to test the integrity of individuals within the underground. The appalled offended responses to Crush The Jewish Prophet serve as a form of sonic darwinism weeding out the defective stock , the sheep in wolves clothing that don't belong alongside true satanists. Traitors in the war against christ.
If you're concerned or scared of pissing off jews and being considered anti semite, than you're not a fucking satanist. Period. Its false to limit your attacks on religion and your declarations of war to safe politically correct and socially acceptable targets.
Inquisition's lyrics are very well written and intelligent. Their one of the most original voices within black metal. So this gives all the false hipster dsbm anarcho crossover crusty posers even more reasons to throw pebbles at a mountain. Inquisition is trve kvlt satanic black metal at its best .
The type of quality work that deserves to worn with pride on a backpatch. Again don't be a fucking poser and just download their shit off blogs or soulseek, go out and buy all their merch. This band deserves it.
HEIL SATAN!!!!!!
