Thank you. They way I wanted this to happen. More similar ones coming soon.

Thank you for your words.

Thank you, sir!

Thanks for your words! Appreciated.

also if it's heavy it's heavy, no need to downtune. There is a case for drop D for some flare and to facilitate certain styles of riffing, but no need to go beyond that

Thanks mate!

Thank you! Glad you like it.

Big thanks!

Thanks for your words. Glad you liked the interview! Never Inquisition material is very good, I agree.

Thank you very much!

Cheers!

Thank you. I think those so-called critical questions are vital to interesting interviews. :)

Thank you.

Thanks!

Thanks so much. Glad you liked it and nice that you joined the stream as well!

Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

You mean aside from the cp?

Probably so.

I am lucky to feature such interesting people.

nefarious dismal orations is by far the best album...

My pleasure

Muchas gracias! Very nice to hear this. Let's hope some day we will have Incubus for talks too!

@@RautaMetal Looking forward to that!

I fully agree with you: he paid his debt to society, as the justice system saw it happen. I find it hilarious/ironic that ppl have hard time listening to Inquisition because of this yet are cool to listen to Dissection, Mayhem, Burzum who did more heinous crimes (even if they served their time as well, tho). Whatever Dagon did, in my eyes he is OK! It's good that you got rid of those toxic people.

Completely agree with you. I feel the exact same way about their music, also that the allegations for me are and will always be complete BS. The hype of it all was and is still lame to read about for those who just jump that wagon from Metalsucks and who knows what. Hail Inquisition and hail Dagon and Incubus. Great guys and excellent music! 🤘🏻🔥

@@RautaMetal exactly man. Keep making kick ass interviews! We love them!

Storm raven what's up? This is Sigurd. How goes it? Jerry has the best metal channel. His last satanic warmaster interview was really good but werewolf wanted him to take it down.

​@@SKvldlf hail Sigurd

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for the comment. Whatever it is, it's in the past now. And yeah, porn can be a slippery slope. For some it's just to vent out (which is healthy anyway), for some it's an obsession. Then again sometimes ppl collect stuff without being obsessed. Some ppl, I am told, even buy shitty albums.

Yes

I think he answered every question thoroughly. I heard nothing that went unanswered, unless his train of thought got derailed by a new question that arrived mid-answer. Precision is the enemy of concision.

I’d vote for him

Nowadays it's almost a necessary evil, to choose your words very carefully and well thoughted, when confronted with such toxic accusations, which aren't even empirically proven, one wrong interpreted word can be selectively incaspulated from the whole expansive context/ explanation, causing an upset of trouble and slander shooting from the backstabbers, as prejudice framing is the operative norm nowadays, therefore Dagon elaborated this confronfronted issue in the whole conversation thoroughly wisefull, didn' t feed the opportunistic vultures!

Unlike politicians he is not trying to fool us. He just can't speak freely on some topics. Otherwise Dagon is a great speaker.

Thx

"Eternal Obfuscation of Inquiries Orbiting the Discovery" is the next album... gonna be a banger!

@@theakkusor hahaha exactly

What does he need to explain though? All of the stuff that happened is public record and was readily available. It just took a decade for a clickbait site to find it. He doesn't owe anyone anything. It'll never not be hilarious that Season of Mist dropped Inquisition yet they're still selling all their albums (including their latest album!) and a whole lot of t-shirts.

@@mandu6665 oh I dunno, he seems to have differing views on the facts of the case and what was found and why he felt the need to try and delete whatever it was from his computer seemed kind of sketch. Said he was ok to discuss it with Rauta then proceeded to dance around the topic for 5 mins until the topic was changed. He doesn't owe me anything but from my point of view he looks pretty sketchy and I won't be putting my money into any of his further ventures.

@@shanecurtis8062 I nEeD bLaCk MeTaL bAnDs To Be SaInTs Or I wOn'T sUpPoRt ThEm

Thanks for your comment, truly appreciating that. Indeed, I prefer my interviews more like organic conversations vs the typical question & answer kind of thing with preplanned questions. I get it: my style is not for everybody, but brings me joy to hear a lot of ppl can like this style I do. And when it comes to this question about his time in court etc: I don't honestly think anyone in the metal scene could give a better answer than he did. Like said, legal matters are not easy and secondly, ppl indeed could try to falsify the answer with cut-and-edit tactics to serve their agenda. He has done his trial in the court of law and justice system. And we should accept it.

@@RautaMetal yes do interviews the way Craig Ferguson did. and people will pay attention, because no one else is doing that.

Unfortunately I don't know who that is.

Exactly. Sometimes I think some ppl have no clue how justice system works.

​@@RautaMetal i feel like being attracted to children is inexcusable. I dont care about "rehab." this man needs to be locked up

@james_green- I agree about the inexcusable part, but I also believe in court of law, not vigilantism.

@@RautaMetal when it comes to protecting children , i feel its way different

@@RautaMetal People would rather try others in the court of opinion.

Thanks. That question has to be tackled. Not everyone is happy about the answer but what we gonna do.

Man....Rauta. how did you feel about his answers and his demeanor on that issue? Do you feel like he is a predator?

The way he acted and answered screamed guilt to me

I felt the contrary.

@@RautaMetal I did some more research on this and I trust you and your judgment and I am a huge fan of his work and yours as well..I hope that he can move past what the slanderous fucks at metal sucks did to him..thanks and take care

Thanks!

Thx

Thank you! Appreciated

Cheers!

Cheers!

Thanks!

Except granny :)

Thanks, I think so too. I have asked Gorgoroth at Inferno, but Host (of Taake and Gorgoroth) said that it's not likely because Infernus doesn't really do those.

@@RautaMetal Please do your best to land an interview with Niklas Kvarforth. That would be fucking awesome!

That possibility has been Discussed.

@@RautaMetal Hey Jerry...when did you interview Infernus? Couldn't find it on your channel just now.

Never did. See my comment above. 😕

My thanks

My pleasure

Thank you and I also agree: it's interesting to hear what makes them tick and what kind of things they have to do in order to make the music happen also. That's one of my main reasons to do these interviews. To make myself and others understand how metal is done.

I think Dagon should simply have said something like: “There is a world of difference between accusation and proof. I was found *not guilty*, despite investigators having two years to destroy my life if they had anything. I served no time, but mud sticks, thanks especially to the Jewish tourists at MetalCucks. And the fact that we are even discussing this resuscitates the bottom feeders who would otherwise starve from a settled private matter.” I find it unfortunate that the subject even arose, because it’s all certain people are going to take away from what was otherwise a very interesting and enlightening interview.

@@Abyssaeon you had me until “Jewish tourists”. If he said that, it would come off as immature and silly, no matter how garbage MS are. There is a whole story Dagon is not telling us and he can if he chooses to

@@XX-sy4rs It’s not immature - it’s a simple fact, and it is relevant to their particular vendetta. Ben Umanov and Matt Goldenberg are Jews, which is why they launched this particular cancel crusade against Inquisition in the first place. Did you not read the first pitiful article they published? It was all about “Nazism”. One glance tells you these bespectacled weaklings are typical latecomer tourists and bottom feeders. This personal grudge got the band thrown off tours I attended, even before MS dredged these other ancient allegations out. They were clearly peeved that no one (except middlemen, promoters, etc.) cared enough about their tribal sensitivities in the underground, so they kept digging for anything that might harm the band’s deserved success and momentum. No true Metal devotee would label his endeavor “MetalSucks”. Typical Brooklyn hipster infiltrator shit. The fact that Dagon granted any time to the subject whatsoever is frankly incredible, but like he said - how many hours does Rauta *really* want to devote to unraveling the subject (which Dagon is surely sick to death of)? The investigation took two years. Can you summarize two years in one word? And furthermore, do the kind of people who are still fixated on the matter truly deserve additional time and energy, when they’ve already demonstrated that they’re not actually interested in anything but an admission of guilt? If they haven’t heard a denial, they’re not listening. The “Nazi” accusation was the real gripe. The rest is selective moral outrage, and the proof is who and what they ignore versus who and what they hunt down.

Not much to add to Abyssaeon’s comment, but this: I loathe most of the stuff what ppl at MetalSucks do. They don’t aim for constructive, neutral journalism.

@@Abyssaeon lol I’m not reading that mountain of spiel, have a nice day 🤣

Thank you!

Thanks. Sometimes being a bit tipsy helps. Sometimes not. This is metal.

Right!? There were several parts during this entire interview where Dagon was appearing to be dealing with the "town drunk" 😂 Like: "Hey man! You're in a metal band!? Metal is cool!!! I wanna tell you about the time.."... 😂 All good 😎🤘

Fuck that! Why wouldn't Rauta get drunk at Steelfest? C'mon man!

Drunk Rauta is a charming guy.

Agreed. Thought Dagon was trying to make a profound point at the end there but it seems like he got cut off before he could finish. Either way, was great to have this interview. 🤘🏻

I think it helped lend to the sincerity of the conversation. It helped break down those formal walls we build up when dealing with new people. So we got far more honest and thought out answers from Dagon.

Damn, it was mentioned if the description 🤔

Think the same here... Weird

Well, he answers all the questions in an extensive way and legal things are not super simple.

@@RautaMetal Yes it's definitely not an easy topic to answer for, to say the least. Thanks for having the guts to ask the question.

My pleasure. I love hard / good questions.

:D How does that, tho, explain Tom G Warrior interview? One of my best and I don't think I had a single beer before that.

@@RautaMetal all your work is amazing but this interview is on another level ! I love it .

Thanks mate! 🍻

Thank you. Did you watch both parts?

Bell - on Bandcamp

I think his shirt is a reference to American radio host Art Bell who had a show called Coast To Coast AM where he covered subjects like bigfoot, aliens, the occult,and government coverups. He has a big cult following with a lot of metal heads and and horror fans.

I wondered the same.

@ Paulus - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLdxmt1m2pi9ip8.html

Bell is his ambient/electronic side project

Exactly!!

Maybe. Who knows. But gotta focus on bands I have not yet interviewed.

I think he explained well why he had to go through it like this.

To sum it up: they didn't find him guilty (at least enough to send him to prison).

That also gave me a chuckle.

Heh, my editor was asked to do a hard task and we don't communicate accurately what and where. So, these things happen. :)

@@RautaMetal no need to explain, Rauta. We know what you meant were you were telling Dagon you wouldn’t edit the footage. Great interview!

Cheers

Thanks man. I am not exactly a fan of early Inquisition albums, even though they are decent as well, but the newer ones are a lot better!

@@RautaMetal consider to give invoking the majestic throne of satan another go!

Someday Inquisition retrospective video coming up.

Thanks. Well, yeah, legal matters are a tough cookie to talk about, for the reasons you mentioned.

He explained it, too: there's chance of internet edits that could incriminate him etc. And read about it on internet WHERE exactly? Do you trust people's searching skill these days with all the misinformation and disinformation? :) #doyourownresearch hah hah!

@@RautaMetal bull sh it he didnt explain anything he waffled on for 12 minutes

If you say so. Let’s just assume then that part didn’t get recorded and only I heard him saying that.

Well the sad thing is: He could just have said „it is all a lie and therefore I was not sentenced“. Just on point answer.

@@barstukken6909 well he did say he had nothing and the discovery was exaggerated by the media. Metal Sucks is a woke warrior outlet so of course they ran with that narrative. I think his marriage would’ve been divorced or ended if he was guilty of CP, right?

Thanks!

Darkthrone, Marduk and Bathory for me def :) I'm not a big fan of early Inquisition, but their later albums are good.

Hells Headbangers.

@@abominog888 that's the first place I checked the shirts are no longer available

Musical Hall

I'm gonna shill a hometown business and recommend Metal Devastation. They've got music, shirts, leather gear, fucking everything.

Thanks for the compliment

@@RautaMetal You're the best, Jerry. You've been killing it this summer

Cheers! More is coming

Quite different ones 😀

@@RautaMetal You are very kind!

@@RautaMetal but both authentic as hell.

I have never asked them so I wouldn't know.

@@RautaMetal hes a paedo too idiot

Exactly. And if one has served his time according to justice system, that individual is then done with the thing.

Black Metal has a rich turbulent history that is written in blood and fire, there' s no denying that, the heretical tribulations, the church burnings, the rivality and murders, whatever on who' s preferred side one stood in those days, it' all firmly shaped black metal as an powerful and dangerous movement, the sublime soundtrack of Ragnarok, that lay waste the world! Stop this goship vermin and make black metal dangerous again!

@@wimbrokaar1806 I second that. If church burnings made a comeback, that would be cool with me, there were some a few years go. Hipster Black Metal has been hard at work promoting non-PC Black Metal. A lot of NSBM and the like is making a comeback.

@@sullivanknoth6430 Yes, I agree with you, that a atavistic comeback of church burnings doesn' t have same the heroic impact nowadays, as in those period of time, Although it s also fine by me when it fiercely stirs up again. But what I actually mean to make black metal powerful and dangerous again, is an feral upgrading of it's draconian ethos, unshaken and unapologetic combative as ever, not given in, or even to be domesticated by those infiltrated new tendencies and standards, set up by hipsters, pc adepts..ect. To remain steadfast and loyal to your ideas, motivations and ideals, whatever the current social climate or general acceptation s herin, to manifest a faustian vision of his own ! ( Well, that just my vision of how black metal should expanded in the confines of reality, shred it again)

@Sullivan Knoth Bill Cosby and R. Kelly would like to hire you unto their legal teams. Oh wait, they don’t make “great art” so that principle doesn’t apply to them. Got it.

Well, he has served his time, no? I mean, do you skip Emperor, Burzum, Dissection for similar reasons?

@@RautaMetal those crimes are MUCH different than what Dagon pleaded to. Guys who murder other guys during a physical tangle usually get street cred when going into the slammer. A person accused of sex crimes do not, quite the contrary in fact.

Ofc. But that has very little to do with the justice system.

True but here it wasn't about sex between people, but images online etc.

from what i gather he had some sketchy limewire search history
