Location: Fayetteville, Arkansas
Grand Inquisitor, the formidable force in the Northwest Arkansas heavy metal scene, proudly announces the release of their latest single, “The Stygian Tomb,” off their highly anticipated EP “Directorium Inquisitorum.” Released on February 21, 2024, this relentless onslaught of trash and traditional heavy metal promises to leave listeners spellbound.
Founded in 2022 by esteemed members of the local metal scene, Grand Inquisitor boasts an impressive lineup, featuring Jay Minish (former guitarist for Deadbird and Tel Anarath ), Jason Looney (former drummer for Razor Fate and Platform Black), R.J Yelverton (bassist for Razor Fate and Staring Into Fire ), and the extraordinary Vivi Nox (formerly of Blackness ). Together, they have forged a sound that seamlessly blends fast and hard riffing with thunderous drums and Vivi Nox’s powerful, soaring vocals.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of King Diamond, Iron Maiden , and Overkill , Grand Inquisitor’s music transports audiences to the realms of history, horror, empowerment, and self-enlightenment, all while infusing a touch of humor into their lyrics.
With a string of regional performances under their belt, including opening slots for renowned acts like Crypta and Reaping Asmodeia , Grand Inquisitor has garnered widespread acclaim for their electrifying live shows. Their upcoming EP, “Directorium Inquisitorum,” is set to solidify their status as one of the most exciting emerging acts in the metal scene.
Following the EP release, Grand Inquisitor is poised to unleash a full-length album in 2025, promising even more sonic mayhem for metal enthusiasts worldwide.
