Baddeley became a Satanist after he interviewed Anton LaVey as a journalist.[3] He was ordained into the Church of Satan by LaVey, and subsequently set up the London branch of the church.[8] In 1999, he wrote Lucifer Rising, covering both the recent and ancient history of Satanism, and provides an examination of modern Satanist culture. Organized into three parts, much of the book is composed of interviews with a wide variety of people associated with Satanic religion or its concomitant aesthetic, including LaVey, Kenneth Anger, and Kerry Bolton.[2][9] He has authored several other books on topics such as goths, and metal music, like The Gospel of Filth.[8]
