Gene Hoglan

Gene Hoglan

He started as a roadie for Slayer before making an indelible mark as the drummer on Dark Angel’s pivotal 1986 thrash album, “Darkness Descends.” Today, he’s known as the “Atomic Clock” and rightly considered one of the greatest drummers in metal thanks to his mind-blowing work with Death, Testament, Dethklok and others. He joins us to discuss his history, future, first concert (Queen with Thin Lizzy!), the influence of Watchtower and that time he developed double-kick drum patterns while sitting on the toilet.
