Gene Hoglan says he was pushed to criticise Chuck Schuldiner
In a new interview the drummer says he was asked, during the making of the Death documentary „Death By Metal", to speak badly of the band's founder, who died in 2001. He refused.
It concerns a nearly ten-year-old documentary — and a claim Gene Hoglan is only now making public. In an interview with the IMPACT Metal Channel, published on 11 July, the drummer says he was asked, during the making of „Death By Metal", to speak badly of Chuck Schuldiner and to tell „all the dirt stories".
Hoglan says he refused. He had no interest in manufacturing controversy — isn't death metal controversial enough already? Rather than pile on, he chose to „report the facts as I see them".
„Death By Metal" was released in 2016 and traces the history of Death and its founder Chuck Schuldiner, who died of a brain tumour in 2001. Hoglan drummed on Death albums including „Individual Thought Patterns" and „Symbolic".
According to Hoglan, the request came from an unnamed person involved in the film. Years later, he says, others told him that this person „should never have been involved in the project". The filmmakers have not commented so far.
