I don't get it why this band is still being labeled as Colombian. Dagon is from the US, started the band in Colombia, then relocated to the States. The other guy is American too. Unless Dagon insists on Inquisition being labeled Colombian. It just makes no sense.

I always thought they were Colombian and then relocated to the united states

Quote:

I'll give you the short version. In 1989 when I was seventeen years old I started Inquisition in Colombia, South America. Half my family is from there and that was where I was growing up at the time. I was born in the United States and when I was eleven I went down with my mother, she wanted to move back to her homeland. Being the youngest kid I went along for the ride. By the time I was thirteen I got into heavy metal. Like all teenagers that got into metal I was obsessed with it and I had to start a band. By 1988 I had started a band called Guillotine and I changed the name and the music changed a little bit and it became Inquisition in 1989. From 1989 all the way to 1996 Inquisition existed in Colombia and during that period three demos were released. Two demos were thrash metal like in the old Kreator, Sodom vein with Inquisition's own flair to it. And then in 1994 I did something that was in the total black metal vein. So, the band really changed but I didn't want to change the name. And by 1996, due to personal reasons, I wanted to move back to Seattle where I was originally brought up since I was a little kid. Even though my whole life was changing, in 1996, by moving to Seattle the idea was to keep Inquisition going, write the debut album, find any cult underground label that was willing to release it. All I needed was a drummer. So, I found a drummer within the first month I arrived and that is the drummer (Incubus, born as Thomas Stevens, e.d) that is still with Inquisition.
