Inquisition – Invoking The Majestic Throne Of Satan (2002)

September 22, 2021

When I first heard Inquisition I just couldn’t get my head around those vocals. It seems to me, if say, Immortal is the stiff, erect cock of Satan, ready to fuck everything in its path, then Inquisition is that same cock, but flaccid and floundering; its possessor riddled with anxiety and dysfunction. All the parts are there, as it were, but they aren’t much use to anyone whilst swinging about with such half-arsed delivery.

Musically, the duo are on point on this 2002 recording, but unfortunately the same cannot be said for the vocal performance. However, it is something of an acquired taste, on here on Invoking…, they don’t seem to bug me as much as some of the band’s other records.
