Chilean traditional heavy metal band from Santiago. Originally formed in 1993, when Manolo Schafler, then lead guitar at the band Torturer, decided to start a heavy metal project under the name "Santa Inquisicion". To that, he contacted Carlos Hernández as drummer, Gonzalo Ruiz-Tagle as bassist, and Freddy Alexis as the singer. They were the very first heavy metal band who jumped into the early 90’s Chilean underground metal scene, and put their hard hitting style over the table. They also paved the road for dozens of new bands with a non-guttural voice singing style.
