| Notable_instruments = The band Inquisition was formed in 1989 in Cali Colombia by Dagon. The band started as a thrash metal act, and in 1994 evolved into raw black metal.

In 1996, Dagon left Colombia and moved back to the United States to continue Inquisition and search for a new drummer. That same year Dagon met Incubus who joined the band on drums and the creation of their debut full length album began. This line-up has remained stable for more than ten years and is now seen as the classic Inquisition line-up.

Inquisition resides north of Seattle, Washington, USA.

The band plays their own unique trademark of black metal involving slow, deep and dark riffing combined with sudden tempo changes to ultra tight blast beats and hyper fast riffing; at times adding melodic solos. The classic Inquisition sound involves the combination of old school thrash metal major guitar progressions with the depth and darkness of black metal's chaotic minor guitar progressions, thus creating a trademark of the Inquisition sound.

Another trademark of the Inquisition sound is Incubus' blast beat style, a form that resembles a much more powerful death metal drumming style in which the snare, hi-hats or ride work together while alternating the two kicks as opposed to alternating the snare and kick, the more traditional form.

Dagon's voice is very monotonous and chant like, intentionally trance inducing and does not sound like any voice typically used in black metal. Surrounded by the right enviroment and following the lyrical content is the best way to connect with voice of Dagon. As he has said in the past, the vocals he expresses are not to reflect that of a human, but rather that of an unseen entity in demonic form and screaming or shouting will not connect the message correctly.
