Inquisition Symphony

Four cellos transformed into a thrash metal engine. A high-tension collision of classical discipline and the raw, distorted aggression of Sepultura and Pantera.

It's a mosh pit in a conservatory and the cellos are winning.

A high-tension fusion of classical mourning and aggressive, rhythmic violence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the percussive wood-slapping that mimics a double-bass drum pedal during the climax of Refuse/Resist
the haunting four-part harmony that opens Nothing Else Matters, replacing the iconic guitar arpeggio with somber wooden resonance
the sheer speed of the unison cello runs in the title track that push the physical limits of the instrument
