IN-QUEST (BE)

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. The year 2007 founds both band's guitarist in an endorsement relations with Mayones Guitars & Basses. "It's simply amazing!" Valéry (guitar) describes his freshly cooked Regius 7.

The long way of development and evolution during the decade of In-Quest musical challenge has always had one constant element: the completely diverse sound that refuses to accept standard categorization. People have described it as an enlightened form of Death Metal, over Technical Metal up to Nu 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.

The evidence of this can be heard on their fourth full length album THE COMATOSE QUANDARIES, without doubt their most mature and aggressive release to date. Being a true statement of renewed extreme music, this release shows experienced musicianship and the unique craft of blending music styles, combing furious blast beats, mechanical rhythms and catchy grooves. 11 tracks prove that In-Quest have fine tuned their unique sound once more, resulting in chunky, pounding compositions spiced with aggressive breakdowns and their typical hypnotic, melodic touch.

One of band's guitarists, Douglas, is cooperating with our company since the beginning of this year. His band mate, Valéry, could not resist the beauty and the sound quality of Douglas' axes and shortly after he also decided to join in for an endorsement deal with Mayones. "It's simply amazing! I’ve never felt so close with an instrument. That was my first reaction when I first tried Regius." - admits Val - "No need for an adaptation. This guitar immediately fit in my hands like I’ve always played it."

Valéry ordered his Regius with Flamed Maple top in Ocean Blue gloss finish, Ebony fingerboard incrusted with In-Quest logo, Sperzel locking tuners and two active EMG 707 pickups. "The guitar gives me all the tones I’m looking for in only one guitar. From the heavy chunky low to the sweet clean tones, every notes remains tight and accurate. The highest notes are so clean ! I had never met that with another guitar before."

"Regius is a masterpiece, perfectly combining a high quality of sound and a great finishing. Amazing work! With Mayones, I feel at home and I’m definitely going to stay here!"
