DETHKLOK/STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Drummer GENE HOGLAN: New Audio Interview Available

May 21, 2008

Legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (DETHKLOK, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, TESTAMENT, DEATH, DARK ANGEL) was interviewed yesterday (Tuesday, May 20) by Andrew Haug of Triple J's "Full Metal Racket" (based in Australia). Listen to the interview in streaming audio at the Triple J web site: Windows Media, Real Media (NOTE: The Gene Hoglan interview begins around the 35-minute mark). Check out the show's entire playlist at this location.

Gene Hoglan is in the middle of a drum clinic tour of Australia. Remaining dates are as follows:

May 22 - Brisbane - Allan's Music (6:30 p.m.)
May 23 - Adelaide - Allan's Music (7:00 p.m.)

Hoglan will hit the road this summer with DETHKLOK, the animated band from Adult Swim's "Metalocalypse", on a 28-city headlining tour kicking off June 2 in Portland, along with two of metal's top acts, CHIMAIRA and SOILENT GREEN.

This major tour starring the five band members from Adult Swim's "Metalocalypse"Nathan Explosion, William Murderface, Skwisgaar Swigelf, Toki Wartooth and Pickles comes on the heels of an incredibly successful fall for the band. In its first time touring, DETHKLOK opened for AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD in a 12-city college tour that did not disappoint. Released in conjunction with the tour was the band's first album, "Dethklok: The Dethalbum", which debuted at #21 on The Billboard 200 during its first week of release, making it the highest-charting death metal album ever. More than 195,000 copies of "Dethklok: The Dethalbum" have been sold to date, and more than 120,000 copies of the "Metalocalypse: Season 1" DVD from Warner Home Video have been sold since its release in October 2007.
