Current Testament drummer Gene Hoglan has been pulling double duty on the bands current tour with Anthrax and Death Angel. Hoglan has been filling in for Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, who has taken a short leave from the trek to be with his terminally ill mother.
Speaking on the opportunity Hoglan offered:
“I am honoured to have been asked by Charlie to fill in for ANTHRAX in his time of need. We are all Metal Brethren, and this is what we do. Unite for the cause, unite for the fans, and unite for metal. Everybody on this tour has pulled together to keep this tour rollin’, everybody is kicking ass. And everyone on this tour is sending our love and respect to the Benante and Bello families. And Charlie, we can’t wait to have ya back where you belong, my man. I’m just keeping your throne warm for ya bro.
–Gene Hoglan“
