Inquisición

Santiago, AR · 2015–present · active
Inquisicion is a heavy metal institution from Santiago, Chile, founded in 1993 by guitarist Manolo Schäfler alongside drummer Carlos Hernández, operating briefly as Santa Inquisición before shortening their name in 1995. Their 1996 debut Steel Vengeance was the first Chilean heavy metal full-length in nearly a decade and earned them the Breakthrough Band of 1996 award; the band has since released six studio albums, including the conceptual Codex Gigas (2014, Australis Records) — nominated for best Chilean metal album at the 2015 Pulsar SCD awards — and Preacher and Lust (2016), with the lineup having shared stages with Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest, and Blind Guardian over their three-decade career.
