I N - Q U E S T - Your guidance in subsonic collapse -
A postmodern, extreme metal act with a strong hypnotic touch
“Our festival showed: heavy, thrash, black, folk, gothic, death and IN-QUEST!”
(quote from a Belgian metal support forum)
This quote proves that IN-QUEST is a band hard to describe and categorize. Being active more than ten years in the underground scene, the band gradually chose to leave it's praised cult Grind/Death status behind, taking a new path and evolving to a whole new level of musical maturity, lyric wise and image wise.
The one constant IN-QUEST have maintained during this musical challenge is the completely diverse sound that refuses to accept standard categorization. People have described it as an enlightened form of Technical Death Metal. All put together, IN-QUEST manages to create a pounding vibe of modern, melodic energy while maintaining an intense level of technical creativity not easily found elsewhere.
