THE DOWNBEAT PODCAST Hosts David Gunn of KING 810 — A Riveting Journey Through Music, Magick & Mayhem


The new episode of The Downbeat Podcast features an unfiltered, in-depth conversation with David Gunn, frontman of the notorious Flint, Michigan heavy outfit KING 810. Known for his commanding presence, poetic lyricism, and controversial public persona, Gunn delivers one of the podcast's most intense and revealing interviews to date.

Hosted by Craig Reynolds, drummer of Stray From The Path, this episode covers a wide spectrum of topics, including magick and the occult. 

Gunn opens up about his deep interest in ritual, symbolism, and personal esotericism, exploring how magick shapes his worldview and music. Rustbelt Nu Metal, the band’s latest album — A gritty reflection of industrial decay, violence, and spiritual unrest- Gunn discusses the sonic and lyrical evolution behind their 2025 release. Legal chaos and real-life struggles — Gunn dives into his many brushes with the law, navigating life as a polarizing artist whose truth often clashes with authority, and how he fled to Spain to run with the bulls and much more.

“I’ve done things people read about in books—and I’ve seen things that made me rewrite mine,” says Gunn in the episode’s most striking moment.

David Gunn like you've never heard him — raw, reflective, and real. This is not just another music interview. It’s a glimpse into the storm.
