-=>DEATH's drummer Gene Hoglan...

[bi...@clark.net]

I love Hoglan as well. His drumming on Death's "Individual Thought
Patterns" shows a lot of growth from the earlier Dark Angel stuff, which
was truly wicked in it's own right!

I have been searching for info on Gene/Dark Angel. Does anyone have
info on any work prior to Angel? What *did* happen to Dark Angel,
anyway?!?

Later albums showed Gene taking on more and more responsibility,
i.e., writing, playing guitar, lyrics, etc. Then they just seemed to
disappear...

Any info on Gene's history, influences, etc., would be appreciated.

I have met Gene A few times...Before he went into music he played fottbal
for the Minnisota Vikings, I think from there he went to Angel...As for
the guy personally he's a real asshole. He isnt a very pleasent person. He
almost got in a fight with ny friend at a show because my friend said his
drumming on a certain album was just "ok". He's a good drummer but not
that great of a person.

What a trip. I met Dark Angel at a record store in Alexandria, VA right before
their concert that night and Gene was very polite and soft spoken when I talked
to him.
Hey...maybe you can answer a question for me, they all signed my Leave Scars
CD for me and Gene wrote "Tom!! Thanks for comin. Gene LACM"
What the hell does LACM stand for (I didn't notice it until later)?
