Inquisition is a monster of black metal which is why they're my favorite black metal band. I can listen to them all day and not get tired. And for a band that consist only of two guys?, they sound like a band of 4 guys; they are the best.
Fantastic job explaining all of the little things that make Inquisition unique. The vocals are obvious, but the little things Dagon does on guitar add up to a special sound. Phenominal video, as always.
Inquisition is my favourite band and I have to say this is a great explanation of their sound and the song you came up with sounds awesome, mate. Amazing job!
4:07 - You probably already know this, but Dagon gets those bends by applying pressure to a floyd rose as he plays (or other equivalent floating bridge, not really sure what specifically he uses, doesn't really matter)
I was feeling very empty by the fact that no music was satisfying me entirely lately, despite Katatonia new song lol and this video gave this great insight that has been months that I don't listen to Inquisition. Epic.
Huge Rock 'N' Roll influence which also comes from Bathory, no doubt. Quorthon's style, in the beginning, was also primitive Black Metal with Rock 'n' Roll influences. There are lots of riffs that sound like a "spiritual" evolution of Bathory's stuff.
Hey bud thanks for breaking all of this down for us to learn and study. As a newer Inquisition fan it is truly interesting to learn all of their nuances to achieve their awesome black metal sound. The bends were what initially drew me into them, that's not something you get a lot of at all in this subgenre and it sticks out in a cool way. Not to mention the total transcending of black metal vocal styling by Dagon, his style sounds as if he's some sort of anticosmic being that narrates the end times. Very informative Farvann, you have earned a new subscriber. Thank you!
While I was pretty aware of the guitar elements which make them special it was great to see them pointed out in such detail. Also what they don’t really use ! Really great video and the song is fantastic!
You said recently that you can’t shred, but I’d say you can, very well. Just started playing myself and even with one foot in the door already with music, the guitar is and can be very difficult. Great video
i love the riffing, but i never really liked the vocals...but then i saw them live, and it works so good live that now i can really enjoy it on record :D i really want them back live on stage.....
I love the way you trying to do the vocals so. I think his using his throat to make that noise but you did it like 5*s . Rob Scallon is really a talent but I think you are a different person with a different channel, different taste in content, maybe people going to your channel from him (youtubr telling this) keep up the good work, keep up your true self.

I just say "subscribe to Rob Scallon" because I want to make fun of all the RU-vidrs saying "subscribe to my channel" ... like how bad is it to tell people what to do? If they like the videos, they will subscribe. You don't need to tell them 😂
Slayer huh.. thats a cheap shot man, so cheap, here i was thinking i'm gonna learn about all sorts of new and exciting music and this madlad decides to go for what i consider to be one of the single most evil riffs ever. YEEESS
Pretty cool video, insead of having to listen to like 4 different records for several months I can now use this video to incoperate theese styles to my own ideas. Fun stuff, can't wait to experiment with all of this! Ps: You did not mention those wailing vibrato notes/chords that the guitarist sometimes use like in Hail The Cult etc but great job anyway.
Loved it not only for how accurate you were in describing how to reproduce the guitar sounds but also it was entertaining AF! :D You earned yourself a subscriber, good sir! Also, really appreciate how your mix sounded quite good (sans the vocals). What were those programmed drums? Superior drummer?
Dagon does pretty much the same vocal technique as Abbath. Something I like to call the Croak. Its a sound I also became obsessed with as a child because it made me sound like a robot or something. Black metal robot frogs? That'd be something.
Awesome video on the unique guitar playing style that is inquisition! You forgot one style which I think is critical! On some of the open chords (usually Em) Dagon would strum the chord then “bend” the note by pressing his palm into the tremolo on a Floyd rose, not using the whammy bar!
I’m very curious what kind of modulation effects Dagon is using on the newest album, in particular the really warped vibrato sounds on the single note passages, I don’t think it’s a chorus pedal, I could be wrong though. Any help would be appreciated
