Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Romana Kalkuhl shares, “as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary in 2025, I am very happy as well to announce our sixth album with pride and satisfaction. I am extremely happy to start the next chapter of our metal journey with my girls. The album Inquisition is for those of you who are into legends like IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST and SLAYER. Full of power, melodies, double bass drums, heavy riffs and speedy guitar solos, Inquisition is not only our style and lifestyle, it’s our life! From the beginning to the end, it’s the best of us.”
