Inquisition is an American black metal band that emerged in the early 1990s. The band was formed by Colombian-born Dagon as a thrash metal outfit before transitioning into the realm of black metal. Known for their raw sound and atmospheric approach to the genre, Inquisition has established itself as a unique entity within black metal's underground scene. Frontman Dagon's distinct vocal style, characterized by a guttural incantation-like delivery, alongside Incubus's precise and relentless drumming, creates an ominous and entrancing soundscape that has become a signature of the band.

Over the years, Inquisition has cultivated a large discography, marked by both lyrical themes exploring occultism, mysticism, and satanic philosophy, and musical motifs that evoke the vastness of the cosmos. Notable albums such as "Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient Cult" and "Obscure Verses for the Multiverse" showcase the duo's ability to blend the traditional ferocity of black metal with melodic and ambient passages, cementing their status as stalwarts of the genre. Albums such as "Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar Beyond the Celestial Zenith" continue to build upon their legacy, offering fans complex compositions that are both sonically aggressive and rich with dark, esoteric imagery. Despite facing controversy and lineup changes, Inquisition's influence continues to resonate within the black metal community.
