Former BOLT THROWER/BENEDICTION Frontman David Ingram Discusses His ‘Satanic Epiphany’

An extensive, career-spanning interview with legendary Death Metal vocalist David Ingram (Bolt Thrower/ Benediction/Downlord), conducted by music writer Joel Gausten, has been posted online at http://www.gaustenbooks.com/ingram.htm. In addition to discussing his musical history and current work as an Internet radio show host, Ingram speaks openly about his active participation in the Church of Satan, which he joined in 2007.


Gausten, himself a Satanist and longtime member of the Church of Satan, recently published “Words From The Third Side: Essays on Sex, Satan & Success,” an autobiographical tale detailing his experiences as a member of the Church as well as memorable run-ins with members of Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, The Germs, The Misfits, Black Sabbath and many others. The book is available for purchase at http://www.gaustenbooks.com.

Very interesting interview. David Ingram is certainly an extremely productive person, which sadly also tends to get in the way of me actually meeting him in person (we live almost in the same town).

I'm hoping to make it happen soon. Perhaps I should bring him a copy of your book - for some reason I ended up ordering two copies when I bought it.

I'm pretty sure Dave has a copy.
So you're the guy who ordered two!

Yes, not wanting to admit I fumbled I still look for a way to make it look like it was on purpose

I really enjoyed the book though. My only criticism is that it's too short, I would have loved to read more of your thoughts. Hope there will be a second book at some point.

Thanks.
As far as a second book, you never know. I have books on SWANS, Rik L Rik, Warzone, Aerosmith, etc. to get off the plate first, plus there's the whole marriage-and-relocation thing.

Oh, and also the Satanic Familiar project: http://www.myspace.com/satanicfamiliar.

By the way, a little debate over the merits of the above interview is currently raging here:

Of course, the always-amusing Metal masses are displaying their ignorance once again, but it makes for funny Monday morning reading.

HS!

That was a good read. Hope you'll have the time to do some more of that type of stuff, maybe an interview with Bobby Steele?

Ha! An interview with Bobby?
Hell, every day of my life is an interview with Bobby!

Seriously, an interview is in the upcoming second edition of the Misfits/Undead book.

HS!
Joel

that was funny, not the interview, the morons talkin bout stuff they obviously don't know about. By the Way great interview.

Thanks!
