The Inquisition -- Young NJ Prog Band

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everyone,
I play keys and electric violin for an emerging prog rock band from New Jersey called The Inquisition. We are releasing our debut full-length concept album, The Magi of Kent Act 1, in March, and hosting our record release show on the 15th of the same month. Born out of the Covid-19 pandemic, this album is a fantasy epic expositing themes of power and corruption in modern big Pharma and government, told through the sonic lens of crossover progressive rock of the 70s.

We're all multi-instrumentalists and have incorporated a diverse range of orchestration, from folk tracks using a locally-made mountain dulcimer and recorder trio, to metal tracks using classical motifs with overdrive, as well as reeds players providing a chamber rock color. Our frontman, Tobias Stearns, is the mastermind writer, director, and producer. 

We had our first major live performance of both Acts 1 and 2 in the summer, linked below:

This is our first music video released just a few days ago:

I'm happy to join this community and put our project out there
