This is going to be a really special show. The Inquisition is celebrating the release of their debut studio album, "The Magi of Kent - Act 1: The Turn of the Tide," and they are pulling out all the stops! Loads of special guests will be joining the band including an expanded horn section, actors, narrators, a slew of percussionists, and an electric violinist.

There will be incredible merch available at this show, so come ready to shop! We'll have new t-shirts, water bottles and more. The new album will be offered in both CD and beautiful double gatefold vinyl with original artwork by Bethany Svendsen. The Sequoias of Sulfur album, "Madman," a collector's item in its own right (see lore), will also be available on both CD and vinyl. AND...don't forget to pick up a copy of The Inquisition’s recently released “Live at the Strand” double album available on CD!

The band will be performing two amazing theatrical sets with an intermission. Set one will be the debut album in it’s entirety, and set two will be much of their forthcoming second album, "The Sons of Abaddon," expected to release in late 2025. It’s not yet confirmed, but there is even talk of a possible special appearance by the Sequoias of Sulfur.

On June 21 & 22, 2024, a young art-rock band named The Inquisition sold out two nights in their hometown of Hackettstown, NJ at a small performing arts venue in the old Strand Theater. The air conditioning might not have been up to the task for those warm evenings, but the band certainly was. One listen to this recording and you’ll know this is the real deal. Vital live music by real people for real people. Set one (disc 1) is an advance listen to the music from their first studio album due out early 2025. Set two (disc 2) is much of what will be their second studio album expected to release later the same year. The video of this entire performance can also be found on the band’s YouTube channel. Real live music is not dead, these kids are the next generation!

The Inquisition is an original art-rock band speaking the musical dialect of classic rock circa late 60’s-mid 70’s (think Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, early Genesis). While fans of older music love it, the Inquisition’s music resonates with younger audiences as well. It is long-form rock music for this time and for those of this generation who are looking for something beyond the predictable sounds and short attention spans of todays typical pop music.

This up-close concert in The Strand’s 60 seat theatre will feature two sets with an intermission. Tickets are just $8! Concessions, t-shirts, CD's, etc. will be available in the lobby (cash only).
