Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Grand Inquisitor is a female-fronted thrash and power metal quartet based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Formed in 2022 by vocalist Vivi Nox, guitarist Jay Minish, bassist RJ Yelverton and drummer/lyricist Jason Looney, each member encompasses over 20 years of experience in their craft that has translated seamlessly up to this point. The band is currently on their Spring 2024 Southeast United States tour in support of their debut EP, Directorium Inquisitorum, which was released on March 22nd.
Last Sunday, before I attended their gig at the Brass Mug in Tampa and with showtime mere moments away, we set up an impromptu interview outside the venue discussing their musical roots, the endurance of their chemistry, a track-by-track breakdown of their EP, and how the band hoped to best utilize their set.
