Black Metal • Re: Inquisition

On March 26, 2018, the band was dropped from Season of Mist, from a tour with Satyricon, and from that year's Maryland Deathfest as former allegations of possession of child pornography from 2008 were brought up against Dagon. As revealed to be in the public record by metal news website MetalSucks, Dagon pleaded guilty to Unlawful Display of Sexually Explicit Material and Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer in a plea bargain after the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children detected an account uploading sexually explicit photographs of "young females in their early teens or pre-teens" to the photo-sharing website Photobucket in November 2006, the account being traced to Dagon. A subsequent investigation of his computer revealed as many as 2,000 files recovered depicting Inquisition, Dagon and his wife, and more child pornography, involving both young girls and boys. Enough of the latter category existed to fill four DVDs with images and videos. The charges did not require him to register on the Washington Sex Offender Public Registry.

Inquisition has been accused of being a Nazi/white supremacist band or at least having racist band members. Band frontman Jason "Dagon" Weirbach had an electronic/noise side project called 88MM. The project was named after the 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 artillery weapon employed by Nazi Germany during Spanish Civil War and World War II. 88 is also frequently used by neo-Nazis as a numerical code for "HH", with H represented as the eight letter in the English alphabet, standing for "Heil Hitler". 88MM was included on the compilation called Declaration of Anti-Semetic [sic] Terror with the track "14 Showerheads, 1 Gas Tight Door". The compilation was released by white supremacist record label Satanic Skinhead Propaganda. Antichrist Kramer who owns the label has also drawn the cover art of all Inquisition albums from 2004 to 2010. Inquisition also appeared on a compilation CD called From Colombia With Hate by Sylphorium Records. In the booklet of the CD there is an image of the band in front of a Nazi flag.
