Biography
INQUISITION was formed by DAGON (guitarist, bass, vocalist and songwriter) in 1988 under the original name of GUILLOTINA in the Southern flames of COLOMBIA in South America, at the capital city of assassination, hate and eternal war : CALI. These elements formed the early inspiration in which INQUISITION was created.
All begun in the year l989 with a debut on vinyl 12"EP when the band play the ancient sound of the Thrash Metal in the old SODOM/KREATOR vein; the musical style was a bit different but the ideology has been always the same : Total Darkness and Philosophies of Wisdom.
In 1993 the second production was released on full-length tape format which was named "FOREVER UNDER", also in the path of violent Thrash Metal Music and in the old DARK ANGEL/KREATOR vein.
During 1994-1995 a new artistic and creative musical evolution was created; the band evolved toward a more extreme and heavier music style, harder and with an ideology within, this new musical philosophy was called under the name of Mystical Dark Violence...
In 1996 finally this new creation was produced by DEFILED RECORDS (USA) in the MCD "INCENSE OF REST" with 5 Songs of crepitating Black Metal... A classic Thrash Metal influences combined with touches of the Grim and Dark of 90's Black Metal sound and catchy tunes of old Death Metal school, achieving Fast and Ancient Metal Melodies of Violence and Dark.
In late 1996 the Colombian Underground label SYLPHORIUM RECORDS became interested in support this original musical art re-pressing the MCD "INCENSE OF REST" including a bonus track as a Split-CD with the Black Metal band PROFANE CREATION from Brazil, and that was obviously accepted by INQUISITION, as it means more promotion. This Split CD was released in last days of 1996 and was called "SUMMONING THE BLACK DIMENSION IN THE FARALLONES" (just this is the title for the bonus track).
For the same year, DAGON moved to reside in USA, to continue in the INQUISITION 's musical way to gain a place of respect in the American underground scene with a lot of recitals, besides the recruiting of INCUBUS like new drummer replacing to JHON SANTA, who participated before in all previous productions.

INQUISITION enter the studio on November 16th (2006) to record the new album to be titled "Nefarious Dismal Orations".
According to Dagon "This album is going to please many people of all kinds of different tastes, it is Metal 1000%, and yet our most brutal and well written album with VERY memorable songs."
In May 2007 is released the bands forth album: "Nefarious Dismal Orations" by NO-COLOURS RECORDS, released in slipcase CD (limited edition), CD and LP versions also available.
INQUISITION is growing steadily, chaining outstanding albums played in a personal and solid extreme style.
