How's it going?  
Besides living in hell every thing's great. I'm fully recuperated and rejuvenated from this years Gathering of the Juggalos.) I'm really busy and hyped about all of the things coming up...a slew of shows here in E'ville, planning a mid-west tour, putting the finishing touches on my third CD this year, The Halloween Massacre (a series of concerts right around Halloween: The Massacre at Mesker 10/27, the Halloween Massacre at Boney June’s on 10/31 and more TBA.  So much Gory so little time.

When did you first begin playing music? 
I grew up in Detroit Murder City. Music is everywhere there. I was 14 when I seriously started writing and experimenting with my own music. Writing and rhyming just took over who I was… I've never slowed down.. I've never looked back. I have went a full 360 degrees. Now, everything I've done serves as the fuel feeding this massive fire… this all-consuming inferno that is Reverend Fang Gory. 

Is there a song or two that you think are just perfect?
There's definitely too many to quickly narrow it down. If I absolutely had to pick a few "perfect" songs... there would definitely be at least a few from Esham's catalogue. A Nirvana track... “Come As You Are” by Nirvana could be one... I would say Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" is a perfect song.

How have your ideas changed musically and stylistically over the years?
I started out strictly doing really dark-underground-horror-rap. Everything I've done has been gangsta to some extent (details are sealed.) I did get into slightly commercial, maybe a little mainstream sounding, but real, true hip-hop. I've done some heavy rock. Musically I have gone full circle. I have entirely went back to my darkest roots and brought with me everything I've learned and experienced along the way. My style can't be compared to because it is such a (nearly) perfected mesh of various styles and genres. I'm knocking down the walls and blowing the roof off the game. There are no rules or boundaries or limits on what I'm doing. The music is coming out fast and furious. I'm raging against the machine if you know what I mean.

What's your proudest moment as a musician?
No specific moment comes immediately to mind. In ‘07 playing at the Gathering of the Juggalos was a really good moment. EVERY time I get love from a fan… those are the best moments.

What are some of your favorite albums and why?
KKKIll the Fetus by Esham because it was never been done before wicked sh*t. Esham is the godfather of this wicked sh*t. It is a cult classic. F.B.I. by the Dayton Family because it was representing hardcore reality from the streets of Michigan. The beats, the rhymes, the production was all completely on point. I have to mention Geto Boys' Grip it! On That Other Level. Their dark-hardcore-underground gangsta-lunatic-style had me from the first time I heard them.

You're flying on the Autobahn at 150 miles per hour-what's playing on the deck?
There's no question. Reverend Fang Gory’s "Notorious." It's track 3 on my E'ville Dead CD.

What's coming up in your future?
E'ville Dead will be officially released and available at Joe's Records, Uptown Music, Atmosphere Records (on N. Main St.) and at myspace.com/FangGory on Devil's Night. Reverend Fang Gory's Halloween Massacre at Mesker will be an all day music fest from 1 p.m.- 11 p.m. on October 27th. We'll have a slew of wicked hardcore music. My set is going to rock your skull off. Juggalos... Faygo will be free for all. Bring MCL, face paint, ninja suits and costumes. I'm also playing at Boney June’s on Halloween Night and I have some other shows tentatively scheduled throughout October and beyond. Check myspace.com/FangGory for show/tour updates, info on the E'ville Dead release party, and some free downloads too.
