About:
The history of Inquisitor can be traced back as far as to the year 2002, however the first home records were followed by the succession of changes in line-up and the first official demo ‘Prelude’ (a self-release CD) appeared only in 2005. Since it was an account of almost three years of musical evolution, ‘Prelude’ contains 6 quite diverse symphonic dark-metal pieces. The following years witnessed a dramatic change in the sound and ideas of Inquisitor. Having broadened the musical spectrum from still harsher riffing to passionate melodic passages Inquisitor stylistically approached the domain of melodic/avant-garde black metal. In 2007 deciding not to push some self-recordings into public, Inquisitor finally concentrates on a compositionally and ideologically challenging task of creating a multi-layered nonetheless unified album that would comprise a pseudo-plot with a single lyrical theme and characters. This idea develops into an album that is recorded in summer 2008 and is being mastered for almost a year. This is how ‘The Quantum Theory of Id’ is born (2010, Forgotten Path Records). Inquisitor enters year 2012 – the Anniversary year – open for new challenges and preparing the second full-length album.
