==Career==
===Early Life (1979-1994)===
Lanny was born in Miami, Florida in 1979.  His father, Stewart Gordon, split with his mother, Carrie Fran-Gordon, in 1983.  Lanny lived with each of them a month at a time, and life was fairly easy because they only lived about 20 minutes apart. Lanny was closest to his father.  Stewart introduced him to heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath, Venom, and Slayer throughout the years.  In the late 80's and early 90's, Lanny picked up three records that he claims changed his life:  The Stench of Burning Death by Genocide, Scum by Napalm Death, and Demo '87 by Terrorizer.  These bands shaped Lanny's taste, and he remembers trying every day to sing along, despite not knowing the words.
Lanny's life changed in 1992, when his father was evicted from his apartment.  Lanny then had no choice but to stay with his mother.  Lanny stated on the matter:
: "My father was evicted for paying his rent two weeks late.  He even payed some interest, but the landlord wasn't pleased.  We hated him, [he] was a sack of lard.  We always talked about him when we listened to some metal, my dad and I.  And, of course, the lawsuit was complete bullshit."
This event in his life caused Lanny to begin writing songs about corruption and politics.
===Metacom and Sewer Nuke (1995-2001)===
In 1995, Lanny started a band with his close friends Eric Doughtry, Moe Lacey, and Harry Lanceman.  They called themselves Metacom, named after the Native American chief who resisted the authority of the British colonists.  They released two demo tapes, a split, and an EP during their career. The band broke up in 2001 for unknown reasons.
In 1996, Lanny and Eric started another band, Sewer Nuke.  By this point, Lanny's father had found a place to live in Jacksonville, so Lanny got to move between Miami and Jacksonville every three months.  This allowed him to work with both Metacom and Sewer Nuke.  The band failed in 1999 after the band released three demo tapes.
