American Inquisition

Heavy, modernized deathrock with thick guitar layers and sharp social critiques. A dense and aggressive evolution of the band's gothic legacy.

It's the sound of the gothic godfathers trading their lace for leather and a chip on their shoulder.

A confrontational and gritty exploration of societal decay wrapped in dark, heavy rock textures.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, driving bassline of 'Water Into Wine' that sets a confrontational tone for the entire record.
The jarring shift into industrial-influenced percussion during the bridge of 'Victim X'.
The sprawling, nearly ten-minute atmospheric descent of 'XIII' that closes the album in a haze of feedback.
