Well lets see.... I'm locked up, I haven't had any pussy in the past 11 months, they don't sell cigarettes here, and there are no radios. Pretty fucking shitty thanks for asking!

This time I've been locked up for about 10 months since the Colorado death fest June 27, 1999. I just recently had a parole hearing and am hoping to be out within the next 11 months, but I'm not counting on it.

Since you've been in jail has any thing really fucked up happened? Has any
body been killed or raped? How many times have you took it in the ass since
you have been there?

First of all, yeah. When I was in the county some guy on the other side of jail sliced his stomach open but when he realized that he couldn't cut through his stomach lining he asked another inmate to finish cutting through. Well the other inmate tripped out and informed the guards, at which time they placed the deranged inmate in solitary confinement (after getting him stitched back up)-where he almost succeeded in slicing his own dick off. I shit you not, that is all true and the funny thing is that the song Self Disembowelment is almost prophetic to that incident. Secondly-the prison term for jerking off is killing kids. And third I use toilet paper every time I go shit.

Yes its all true! We get fed gruel everyday. They Very often use emu meat instead of beef and sometimes you'll find rocks and dirt in you vegetables or weevils in your oat meal.

People remember before you went to jail you said you loved eating shit. When you get out of jail are you going straight for a shit platter? What are your plans when you get out?

You mean people actually remember that? Awww, thats sweat. Yeah I think I will get in touch with queen pig from the movie poop. I will take her over my knees, pull down her drawers and hold my mouth to her sweet honey fat ass and eat her sweet peanut butter as it comes out fresh and hot. On a more serious note, I plan on getting to Austin and getting some tats from Zig, get back in the death metal scene, maybe start my own zine, I could really go on and on about my plans when I get released.

How is the death metal scene in jail? Does the rap scene still dominate in jail? Have you met any death heads?

Has there been any new albums you've been wanting to hear when you get out of jail?

Any death metal would do write now except black metal. I got a copy of the latest Mortician the night I got arrested and have been really wanting to hear that. I would also like to hear the new Hate Eternel, the new Disgorge, and I hear the new Cephalic carnage and new Wicked Innocence is the shit.

Since you've not been in Devourment in a while tell me about what you miss most about being in Devourment? What was your favorite Devourment song?

There's so much I miss about being in Devourment. Just being a part of it was such an honor itself. Playing live, meeting the fans, hanging out with other bands, Kevin and Mike. Its hard to say which song is my favorite, each one had its certain qualities. I love the intensity of Festering Vomites Mass. Post mortal Coprophagia is pretty insane too. I cant really say because the entire CD is worthy as far as I'm concerned.

A lot of people have been saying that you are going to get back in Devourment when you get out. Is this true? Do you think Devourment will be as good with out Brain in the band?

I have been hearing that Devourment wants me back once I get out but these are only new speculations that I've been hearing. I haven't corresponded with anyone in the band as of yet, so until then I really don't know. If not Devourment, I will be starting my own band so keep an eye out. As far as Devourment being better or worse without Brain, well that's hard to say. It will certainly be different. Brain is a phenomenal guitarist, but very greedy and had a shitty attitude. I think mentally the band will be more stable with out him.

What are your thoughts of Corpse Gristle putting out the CD and changing the name of the album to 138?

I personally liked the original cover and name for molesting. I do know how ever that Hound is a great underground promoter and I'm sure the CD will do well on CG Records. Sad thing is that I don't even own a copy of the original pressing.

How did you like the Colorado death fest as your last show with Devourment? Who did you think was the best band in Colorado that night?

The Colorado death fest was amazing and probably our most brutal show. Deaden was great as always and I was really impressed by Entorturement and Pentagoria. But Macabre was completely insane that night. Its not often you get to see Macabre live and it was an honor playing with them fucking psychos.

Do you realize since the Devourment album came out it is the biggest talked about album in the underground today? What are you're thoughts of this and what where your thoughts of Devourment breaking up?

I never realized how big you make it out to be. Is it really that talked about? I haven't been informed too much on how the CD did although I do think that's wonderful. As far as Devourment breaking up, I think it was bound to happen for reasons mainly concerning Brain and his attitude. But who knows what will happen once I get released. I think it would be a waste if Devourment remained broke up.

Well Ruben thanks for your time. I will let you get back to serving your time and eating your shit any last words?

Yeah thanks for the interview. Every body keep your ears pealed because I will be back to kill again. Anybody that wants to write me feel free-all letters will be answered. Thanks again and I hope to see everyone soon.
