An Interview with Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel)

Gene Hoglan — the “Atomic Clock” himself — joins We Go to 11 to talk Dark Angel’s crushing new record Extinction Level Event (Reverse Records), the legacy of Death, and decades of redefining extreme drumming.

In this candid, wide-ranging conversation, Gene opens up about:

The journey from early reunion shows to finally delivering Extinction Level Event
Honoring the late Jim Durkin and the massive influence of Laura Christine on the new album
Why Dark Angel kept their release off Spotify (for now)
Playing Symbolic and Spiritual Healing in full on the upcoming tour
His transformation through weight loss, stamina, and the drive to play brutal metal well into his seventies
A Spinal Tap–worthy story involving water pistols, police, and a full-on meth bust misunderstanding

🎶 Extinction Level Event is available now exclusively at ReverseRecords.com
