INFERNAL SOULS - Black Metal

Infernal Souls begins its first rehearsals in May 2004, initially making extreme

 metal within melodic Black metal with lyrics that express the dark side of each 

member of the group.
After several live events, with 8 members including a female soprano voice, at the 

end of 2004 several members left the group, finally leaving the "basic" structure 

of 2 guitars, bass, drums and vocals.
This is how the following years pass with live performances until October 25, 2011 

where the initial line-up formed by: Marco Tipan (drums), Edison Hidalgo (bass), 

Oscar Quillupangui (Guitar), Javier Toapanta (lead guitar) and Diego Hidalgo (voice) 

present their last concert in Yaruqui, Pichincha province, since on November 8, 2011, 

Diego Hidalgo, one of the founding members of the band, dies, leaving a void not only 

as a member of the group but as a close friend within the scene.

 The following years the group is devastated by the departure of its vocalist and at 

the end of 2017 the rest of the members decide to continue with the project as a real 

and spiritual tribute in honor of Diego. This time the lineup is as follows: Marco Tipán 

(drums), Oscar Quillupangui (Bass) and Javier Toapanta (guitar and Voice).
In mid-2018 Marco leaves the group for personal and work reasons, on September 22, 2018 at 

the Blood Forest Fest event in the city of Quito Ecuador the new drummer Patricio Noboa (

also drummer for the band Padrax) is presented, finally being the lineup with: Patricio 

Noboa (drums) Oscar Quillupangui (bass) and Javier Toapanta (guitar and vocals) with faster 

songs and always keeping lyrics dark and full of blasphemy.
With this line-up, studio recordings are made to capture them in future demos. There are also 

several live events with good reception especially outside the capital city as well as broadcasting 

on-line programs of the scene and the compilation: Ode to the dead metal Vol1 of South American bands

.

On August 3, 2019, 2 live songs were recorded in the so-called "Cabin of Terror" at the "Pluteras Recs" stud

ios in Quito Ecuador, where the debut album "Possesso Immortal" will also be recorded, a tribute to the great 

"Possesso" (Diego Hidalgo) and the first video clip of the theme: Mutilator Andino, a theme inspired by the 

Ecuadorian moors. For the recording of the album there are 9 songs by the band, these songs are:

INQUISITOR - Death/Thrash Metal/Netherlands

Dutch extreme thrash metal band INQUISITOR recently recorded a new album, which has been released in January 2018 by Hammerheart Records and bares the title “Stigmata Me, I'm in Misery”. This new album will mark the true return of INQUISITOR. The album got great reactions from fans and excellent reviews from the metal press. On the new album it's clear that INQUISITOR stuck to their guns and hardly changed anything to their furious, unorthodox over the top style of extreme thrash metal but managed to expand it a little bit with interesting ideas, but without compromising the music.

 Although INQUISITOR is the sum of its four talented equals, the defining element of INQUISITOR however are the unique and outstanding vocals of Alex Wesdijk whose voice has lost nothing of its sickness.

INQUISITOR has been around for a little while again since the unthinkable happened in October 2014, when after almost two decades, INQUISITOR, resurrected in its original line-up. This unexpected rebirth happened only about one month prior to the re-release of INQUISITOR'S infamous debut album “Walpurgis – Sabbath of Lust”, which has been done by Hammerheart Records in collaboration with members of INQUISITOR. The original album, and the demo's of the original line-up, have especially been remastered by JB v/d Wal (ex-Aborted, Herder, Dool) for this re-release, which is available on a 2CD format and on two separate LP's. The

original album, which was released on CD only in 1996, has long been out of print, and eventually became a collector's item for those who are searching for an obscure release like “Walpurgis – Sabbath of Lust”. 

What INQUISITOR sonically produced was fast, intense, extreme, uncompromising metal and on top of it, were the sick and at the same time unique vocals of Alex Wesdijk, which in the end defined their own outstanding sound. The notoriously blasphemous artworks and some of the not-so-christianfriendly lyrics were a reaction to their existence in a part of the so-called Dutch bible belt. 

The original line-up of INQUISITOR emerged in December 1991 from a Dutch area called The Veluwe. Their aim was to create an extreme form of thrash metal combined with dark and blasphemous lyrics. The result can be heard on their first demo “Blasphemous Accusations” which was released in 1992, and on their second demo “Your Pain Will Be Exquisite”, which was unleashed upon mankind in 1993. To gain a following, several gigs were done in The Netherlands, but also in Belgium and Germany. In 1995, INQUISITOR and bass-player/founding member Alex Bakker unfortunately went their separate ways. He was replaced by Hans Pos with whom the bassduties were done on the album “Walpurgis – Sabbath of Lust”, which was recorded in the RS29 Studio with Oscar Holleman in 1995, and was released by Shiver Records in 1996. With the new line-up, their self-proclaimed style of

Pure God-Damned metal was promoted through gigs in The Netherlands and also in Germany.

However, shortly after the release of “Walpurgis – Sabbath of Lust”, INQUISITOR slowly fall apart. In

October 1996, vocalist Alex Wesdijk was no longer a member of INQUISITOR, and two months later in December, guitarist Erik Sprooten left, and joined ANCIENT RITES permanently. Drummer Wim van der Valk moved on with new members, but the sound changed dramatically that eventually a new band emerged out of this, which became known as CENTURIAN. In 2002 Wim van der Valk pulled the plug out of CENTURIAN, and hardly bashed the skins of his drumkit for about 12 years until the unexpected reincarnation of INQUISITOR in 2014. INQUISITOR has come full circle now, and is back with a vengeance!
