TESTAMENT's GENE HOGLAN: More Drum-Cam Footage From Finland's TUSKA Festival

September 5, 2013

More drum-cam footage of legendary extreme-metal drummer Gene Hoglan (TESTAMENT, DEATH, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DARK ANGEL, DETHKLOK) performing with TESTAMENT on June 29 at the Tuska festival in Helsinki, Finland can be seen below.

Hoglan is planning a series of appearances under the "The Gene Hoglan Experience" banner, set to take place this fall, where he will tell stories and play some of your favorite songs from your favorite bands that he has performed with over the years.

Acording to a press release, "The Gene Hoglan Experience" is "an intimate gathering of metal fans brought together to celebrate the legacy and 30-year career of one of metal's most legendary drummers."

Hoglan came up with this concept to give the fans what they want: the ultimate "Gene" experience. In addition to telling personal stories, as mentioned above, Hoglan will reveal some of his secret techniques and tips to help all drummers and musicians of all levels.

You get to meet Hoglan and have access to his exclusive merchandise from Gene himself.
