Inquisition - Veneration of Medieval Mysticism and Cosmological Violence (Album Reaction)

[@edwardpetterson3321]

"Memories within an empty castle in ruins" and "Primordial philosophy and Pure spirit" are masterpieces

[@blackwaterrust476]

Awesome album reaction, Inquisition are one of the most reliably consistent black metal bands out there. Another really good album.

[@NLBoots]

This was fun :) my second listen to this album and I enjoyed more than the first. I think this is a strong Inquisition release.

[@whitenoise61]

they're all strong.

[@Moviefanforever5679]

Inquisition is one my favorite Black Metal bands. I love Dagon voice.

[@mightyravendark932]

I had a nice time listening to this for the first time with you Questy. More of this at Fridays and Saturdays with a beer or two. Cheers from Sweden.

[@leonscoretzka801]

i love inquisition. Another killer album. In my opinion they dont have a single dud in their entire discography. Hope you do more reviews/Reactions in the future! This was awesome.

[@gabrielsoto8577]

I really liked the album but it surely needs to be listened to many times. I like the reaction format, it helps me get more involved on the first listen, so these videos are welcome. Cheers

[@amortuus_]

Dagon never disappoints with the riffs. I love force of death is the force of life.

[@mitsosmitsos4940]

Perfect album! WELL DONE MATE!

[@yoot74]

I have listened to the whole album 3 times now and it really does grow on you. I think it is one of their best releases and I have them all.

[@hf7219]

The last 2 albums of Inquisition remind me of the album "Disintegration" from The Cure. Sounds crazy but it is what it is. Love it btw. Bought the CD even I don't have a CD player. Sounds crazy but it is what it is.

[@elpeladorobles5013]

Spot on mate. It’s like they dropped Robert Smith into the band to play 2nd guitar 😂

[@cesarsaravia5180]

Inquisition jamás te decepciona. Sin palabras.

[@Syko1985]

Awesome as always from Inquisition. They are that good that some great albums from them get swept under the rug, and i feel like this maybe one of those albums. Black Mass for a Mass Grave seemed to have a ton of hype behind it and it took off in the scene. This album seems to be going under the radar.

[@JohnDiabol]

Black mass was such an amazing comeback from them after all the drama that went down in 2018. I know a lot of people were very hyped for it and they crushed even the highest of expectations. I rightfully think Black Mass is the best album they ever did. This one seems like a very natural continuation from Black Mass in my opinion, kind of like a Chapter 2 of Black Mass with some elements from earlier albums as well. I definitely think this is a very worthy album and I know I am gonna be listening to it a lot, but it probably won't take the spot as my favorite release from them. But I think It might be one of their top 5 best ones actually.

[@guillermochuc5004]

Great reaction! And of course an amazing and ethereal album by Inquisition, I loved it.

[@youvorli]

Listened to the album 5 times and love it before noticing you had posted this. Now watching along with you this was really fun to see you react to the bits that I love already. Really cool album, has the atmosphere of Black Mass but alot more ferocity like their earlier stuff. Would like to see you do more of this reacts. Thanks man

[@HammerheartMetalReviews]

Inquisition never disappoints! Only listened a couple times so far, but digging it a lot. Maybe not quite on the level of their absolute best, but thats a high mark they have set for themselves. Very good album that I will surely be spending a lot of time with. Also, we should still do a collab sometime soon...maybe next month we can pick a day that would work. Anyways, cheers Questy!

[@gabrielsoto8577]

Please do a collab you guys!

[@Questformetal]

Yeah just gotta decide on a topic and a day

[@HammerheartMetalReviews]

@@Questformetal Right on! For a topic, how about our favorite 10 black metal albums released in the last 10 years (2014-2024)? As for days, I am usually free on Saturdays during the day, if that works for you? The time difference between us may throw things off though haha. Maybe Feb. 10 or 17? I can make other days work too, just figured I would start there

[@Questformetal]

You got instagram or discord some way of contacting ? But ye that topic sounds like a good idea

[@Thabba76]

this album was great, sounds a lot like bloodshed across the empyrean altar beyond the celestial zenith

[@JohnDiabol]

It sounds a lot like a natural continuation from black mass but with some elements borrowed from bloodshed

[@Thabba76]

@@JohnDiabol yeah exactly, its mainly the production and vocal performance that reminded me of bloodshed but everything else does indeed feel like sequel to black mass (which is a good thing, black mass is easily in my top 3 inquisition albums)

[@JohnDiabol]

@@Thabba76 track number 4 sounds like it was lifted straight from bloodshed. Overall this was a very good album. Gonna have to give it a few more spins to figure out where it stands exactly, but it's definitely a winner.

[@rogeriovarela974]

that riff on force of death is something else.

[@bladerunner6662]

Guitars sound very muddy compared to previous albums.

[@yoot74]

I LOVE Inquisition and this one blows me away. Absolutely mandatory purchase.

[@Stefan979-]

Oh,hell yeah,more Inquisition,thank God.

[@Questformetal]

Thank lucifer you mean ;)

[@Stefan979-]

@@Questformetal Tee hee. Whichever deity drove these lads to release this collosus knows what's up.

[@ZombiesOnYourLawn66]

Thank Satan!

[@Kataxu]

Bands like Inquisition just remind me I didn't have to try as hard as I did back when I did vocals for a Black Metal band.

[@TBaggins96]

Very interesting record. Only recently getting into Inquisition so this was fun. Definitely should do more full album reactions. Beard is coming in nicely btw. Full on scruffy Questy incoming?

[@cookiesontoast9981]

And yeah, I'd like more videos like this. Gave me an excuse to listen to this great album again and hear what you think, you spoke just enough that it wasn't annoyingly too much or pointlessly too little.

[@ExhumedCorpse]

First impressions for me was a 9/10 on the first listen. I really REALLY enjoyed this album. Not better than the previous release by inquisition imo but this is still a fucking great album

[@Questformetal]

Yeah black mass I slightly prefer at the moment but that’s just after one listen so need plenty more time with the album

[@Kaimeratech]

Such a great album!!! I only wish they would have put pathway of light is a pathway to fire before to the title track since they pretty much transition into each other.

[@Siarawaszympanemjest]

Absolutely savage record. Fantastic material, Dagon & Incubus never disappoint.

[@SlipperyRat]

There's a new Celtic themed BM band from New Zealand called Olde Throne which would be cool to see you review Questy. Just found them and really digging it

[@dagon5205]

I preferred the voice of Dagon on the first albums. Since Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar I find it less well, softer, or something like that. Bests albums for me are Invoking the Majestic Throne and Nefarious Dismal Orations

[@Moviefanforever5679]

I would love this series. Please do more..but make sure not to get any copyright strikes.

[@shanemckenna392]

This format is cool. Would be an awesome format for you to check out some of the classic albums that you know you should hear. Blizzard Of Ozz would be an excellent starting point.

[@MatthewsGauss]

really liked the album especially with the synths but the guitar needs to be much louder. I listen to inquisition for the riffs and sometimes they're buried under the vocals.

[@stealmycorpse]

Didn’t know they were dropping a new album. 😮 Can’t wait to listen to it.

[@lokeforce8905]

This album man. Already best of 2024?

[@Triiplesiix]

band gets better every release

[@a-man3179]

Never listened to an Inquisition album until now 😅

[@Syko1985]

Well if you liked this one at all then you are in for a treat checking out the rest of their discography.

[@ZombiesOnYourLawn66]

You are in for a wild ride then. I’d recommend Nefarious Dismal Orations and Magnificent Glorification of Lucifer for the most evil sounding albums. Then I’d recommend Ominous Doctrines… for an evil yet cosmic sounding feel.

[@alanmena8803]

Great reaction 👏

[@apothos666]

I hope the compression issue is just KZbin being KZbin and not the album itself. Can't wait until my pre-order copy arrives then I'll give it a proper listen.

[@apothos666]

This album rules by the way.

[@eduardomenegussibutilheiro9368]

Parece um álbum de transição. Gostei demais da sonoridade, diferente que inova e mantém a pegada genuína deles. Senti elementos de grunge, country e gothic em meio as atmosferas. Ficou divino!

[@vishalnagaraj5343]

The most ferocious album since Nefarious! I feel like some of the atmospheric sections have actually been refined on this album! But the sum of the parts doesn't outweigh the whole. I.e., too many songs, too little impact. It's rewarding to listen to in the sense that the tracks improve throughout the album. Strong 7 imo

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Was taken by such a surprise when I was reminded Inquisition were coming out with a new album! Black Mass is one of my favourite albums ever, don't know how many times I've heard it. This one the first couple times around I do like as much but It's still fuking awesome, with more listens we'll see. I definitely agree with you though, this album sounds like a nice mix of their earlier stuff and their newer more atmospheric, melodic stuff. Side note, whenever I think of the Black Mass album I always end up thinking about the movie "Black Mass of the Nazi Sex Wizard" 😂 Which is not a good movie, but still, the name is amazing.

[@thehatefulraven]

Top tier stuff from one of the best bm bands ever

[@ericremi4838]

Your voice sounds like Fenriz's voice in his commentary of Darkthrone records sometimes

[@williamxb]

This album was amazing. In my own personal ranking, I'd say it's my 5th favourite overall piece of music they've put out, behind Nefarious Dismal Orations and infront of Black Mass for a Mass Grave

[@novascotianinfj]

the album title song, the change in vocals half way through...awesome. love that song.

[@Triiplesiix]

I LOVE IT

[@elpeladorobles5013]

Light of my dark Essence is a masterpiece to me lmao

[@Stahlgrimmig]

Huge Inquisition fan since the 90s here. For me everything until Nefarious Dismal Orations is godlike. "Obscure Verses for the Multiverse" was still pretty good. After that there were some good riffs left but the primary focus got lost. The production of the current album is pretty weak (not bestial and majestic). The lead guitars are much too loud and 0 elaborated. Some good riffs are still here and there but it's not for me anymore.

[@fartsworth666]

Never been able to get into Inquisition, but decided to take this journey with you, Questy. I made it through about 4 songs before tapping out. Some of the riffs and atmospheric parts were cool, but the ghoulish Popeye vocals ruined it for me. Glad everyone else seems to love it though.

[@mato87]

You should make a full review

[@heavymetalmusicofdestructi3430]

amazing album you should go see inquisition at steelfest

[@PortugueseMACPOW]

Sup Virgin Questy? Is Virgin Steele coming soon?

Ye binging the albums atm it’ll be the next ranking vid

👍

[@novascotianinfj]

last song was a filler....more of a synthwave bit

[@Sirenwish]

The production and mixing are really bad, really holds the album back. Shame.

[@cookiesontoast9981]

I've listened to it multiple times and honestly never noticed the production or mixing was "bad"

[@Sirenwish]

Everyone to their own. Compared to their other releases I think this album sounds way off. @@cookiesontoast9981

[@vishalnagaraj5343]

Nah, it's only this one that is a miss. I think this albums a 6 or 7

[@nefariousbroadcasting7906]

Best production in their discography for me

[@Sirenwish]

I meant to write album, not albums, sorry. I agree, I find all the other albums have great mixing and unique production to them, this just sounds messy and compressed. I do enjoy the music tho.
