Released in 1984, Metal Inquisition stands as one of the most notorious and uncompromising albums of the early speed metal era. Piledriver delivered a sound rooted in raw heavy metal aggression, stripped-down speed riffs and an intentionally confrontational aesthetic that pushed boundaries both musically and lyrically. The album opens with the title track, immediately establishing a relentless, no-frills attack driven by fast-paced riffing, pounding drums and abrasive vocals. Songs like “Sex with Satan” and “Sodomize the Dead” emphasize shock value and speed, while longer tracks such as “Witch Hunt” and “Alien Rape” stretch into darker, more ominous territory with extended structures and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere. The production is rough and unpolished, perfectly capturing the underground spirit of early 80s metal before thrash became fully codified. Over time, Metal Inquisition has gained cult status among collectors and fans of extreme traditional metal, recognized as an important artifact of metal’s transition from classic heavy metal to faster, more aggressive forms. A mandatory listen for those exploring the raw roots of speed metal and the most extreme edge of early underground metal.
