Inquisition interview - American black metal legends (part one)

[@paulus3317]

You made Dagon chuckle, Jerry. I've never seen him even smile in an interview. Well done!

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks! I have that affect on some people, including Morgan of Marduk 😎 good chemistry

[@dalazo]

Helps that Jerry is probably the opposite of 99% of interviewers. No fake shit just honesty and music with no hidden goal or motive to hide behind. I can't remember a single interview where Jerry dropped the ball!

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you @dalazo!

[@Goniloc]

Always interesting to hear where a band name or alias comes from, even if it’s that straightforward. Great upload!

[@RautaMetal]

Thx!

[@donavonhoward114]

Definitely one of the most special Black Metal bands of all time. Easily top 5 Black Metal of all it's different forms.

[@animalsinorbit]

Seen them twice, first time almost over 10 years ago in New Orleans. One of my good friends is a huge fan and personally got them to play the gig. They were my introduction into back metal and although I'm not the biggest fan of the genre as a whole I LOVE this band and have supported them since the night I met them. My friend gifted Jason a real found goats skull and Jason just stared at this thing in reverence the entire time before they played. Smoked a J with Tom the drummer in the back alley, really friendly guy. Jason didn't partake and didn't talk much and was very stoic the entire time but i could tell he was serious about the thing he was about to do and wasn't going to be influenced by any unwanted external force. They played, no make up and on a local bands equipment, and blew me away. Epic band. Epic dudes.

[@witchhammer6198]

Absolutely awesome, Dagon is one of those guys that speak with intelligence and coherent arguing, I've been friend of him for long time here in Colombia we've share some few times discussing about Metal and drinking a beer, Inquisition it's one of the most original bands I've ever heard. Total respect! Can't wait for the coming second part of this inti, and hopefully we (Witchtrap) will share stage with mighty Inquisition here in Colombia on early Oct . Btw, see ya on May 2023 on SteelFest Open Air

Cool! See you at Steelfest

I waited for part II to come out to watch it fully. Lots of respect to Dagon and Rauta team. This one is amazing. Someone in the comments said something like, "This isn't interview. This is having a conversation." and I agree. Great energy here. Thank you many times!

Although I'm not a big fan of the band itself, I do enjoy seeing behind the veil of the personalities and what makes them tick. Great interview so far Rauta, looking forward to seeing part 2. Also, very polite of you guys not to tell that other guy to p*ss off, after inviting himself into the interview.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@RobHellfire666]

I saw Inquisition live in this tiny community center in Victoria BC with several other great bands. Legendary night. I probably could have, but never tried to meet the gentleman behind Inquisition that evening.. I never knew Dagon was such a well spoken, thoughtful, intellectual type. I found his deep thinking and analytical approach refreshing, and very enjoyable to listen too. As is often the case with metalheads (specifically) they are much more than meets the eye.

[@RautaMetal]

Well said!

[@dalazo]

Incredible interview, better then any podcast, tv show or what the fuck. Just cool dudes sharing some thoughts. Also Pure Holocaust is one hell of an album to start the journey with. Imo better then Mysteriis.. and (early) Burzum. That album is an absolute force especially production wise a very rare moment where Immortal absolutely nailed it.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you so much!

[@ianswift3521]

pure holocaust is one of the following albums i recommend as a starter for every would-be black metal listener. along with the other classics like Vikingligr veldi, under the sign of hell, de mysteriis, in the nightside eclipse, those of the unlight, under the sign of the black mark, and nemesis divina. i don't recommend things like burzum (*if i would it would be det som engang var), darkthrone (if i would, it would be Under A Funeral Moon) or Beherit or any of this to new first time listeners.

[@dalazo]

@@ianswift3521 I agree however my list would look different. Enslaved their first 2 works I really enjoy. Whilst Dissection etc is great it's not really "black metal" I guess, but for starters yeah probably a good call. Nemesis Divina I would take off though, I never liked that album and honestly I'm not big on Satyricon. Imo just as Mayhem (and possibly Burzum depending on who you're asking) usually overrated by people. Pure Holocaust in particular especially being part of the early 2nd wave is an absolute gem. I think bands like Taake are great for new listeners due it being 2nd wave and grim but completely fleshed out into something else. It's chaotic mix will set you up for harsher productions in the future and allow your brain to being able to follow wtf is going on. But hey, I started with Immortal and Dissection. Then started delving into Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem and only after started really going in deep. But even during my "early" discoveries I found quickly bands that peaked my interest much more then the "oldschool" bands. However I will add that I probably would tell people to go listen to Blood Fire Death rather then black mark or the return. But it's good to see people like yourself not being total sheep (posers I guess?) and following blindly of what is supposed to be "good / best" black metal (which on the internet seems limited to Burzum, Darkthrone and Mayhem).
