Inquisitionin laulaja/kitaristi Dagon kertoo Rock Hard-lehden uudessa haastattelussa näkemyksiään Black Metallin filosofiasta ja satanismista. Dagonin mukaan satanismi muistuttaa paljon ateismia, mutta lisää henkisen elementin ja black metallin kautta kaaoksen sekä tuhon hallinnan ytimeksi. Inquisition nähdään syyskuussa Amerikassa viimeisellä osalla ”Bloodshed Across North America” kiertueesta.
Dagonin kommentit black metallista ja satanismista saa lukuun alta:
Real black metal is chaotic, destructive and emotional. We take that destructive energy into grandiose and magnificent musical form. But I am no one to say this the absolute truth of what Satanism is. My personal opinion is that Satanism is a word many decades ago just as it is now, that it is symbolic or metaphor of absolute, maintaining an open mind to absolutely anything. In modern society we call that atheism but I think Satanism goes beyond that. It maintains a spiritual element. It’s almost like an atheist keeping an open mind to anything that goes beyond the rational. The difference in black metal is that we like to experiment with these ideas of chaos and destruction. What we would like to see as evil. Always maintaining dark side of life but always harnessing and controlling chaos. We like to see us as a super massive black hole where anything good or bad comes out, we just consume it and carry it and get bigger. Not let it destroy you but harness and learn from it. That’s Satanism to me. Controlling fire.
