As previously reported, Heavy Metal drumming machine Gene Hoglan is uncertain of whither he will become a permanent drummer of TESTAMENT. Well, it seems like Hoglan is ready to join the band full time! Today, he announced that he will not be touring with FEAR FACTORY on their upcoming tour with SHADOWS FALL. And as far as we know, he did not record drums on the bands upcoming album entitled 'The Industrialist' (set to be released on June 5, 2012 via Candlelight Records). Here is what he had to say about this:
"I'm sure whomever they get on drums is gonna kick some ass, absolutely! I'd like to wish them the best on the tour, and I'm sure everyone's gonna make out just fine."
While Hoglan is still listed as the drummer for FEAR FACTORY, last month we asked him if he plans on joining legendary Thrash Metallers TESTAMENT full time, whom with he recorded their upcoming album entitled 'The Dark Roots Of Earth' (set to be released in late April/early May via Nuclear Blast Records) and played drums on most of their recent series of tours with ANTHRAX and DEATH ANGEL. Here is what he had to say about his future.
"Right now I am taking things day by day. Sometimes you really have to be careful with what you wish for."
When we recently spoke with TESTAMENT's frontman Chuck Billy, we asked him what the bands drummer situation is. Here is what he had to say about this:
"We'd like him (Gene Hoglan) to be, but I think right now we're just taking it tour by tour. We don't know yet. We just kind of unexpectedly had to do this tour before the record came out, so we haven't really thought about it yet."
In our opinion it would make sense for him to join TESTAMENT as a full time member since he recorded their NEW album 'The Dark Roots Of Earth'. Stay tuned for more information!
