In a recent interview with the IMPACT Metal Channel, Gene Hoglan, the legendary drummer known for his work with DEATH, opened up about his feelings regarding the 2016 documentary ‘Death By Metal,’ which focused on the band’s iconic frontman, Chuck Schuldiner.
Hoglan expressed his dissatisfaction with the documentary, revealing that he was encouraged to share negative stories about Schuldiner during filming. He stated, “Why would anybody request that?” emphasizing his desire to avoid controversy and mudslinging.
The drummer highlighted that he preferred the 2025 docuseries ‘Into The Void: Life, Death & Heavy Metal,’ which he felt portrayed Schuldiner’s life and legacy more accurately. Hoglan remarked, “The music… is not death metal controversial enough? The music will speak for itself.” His candid reflections shed light on the complexities of documenting a legendary figure like Schuldiner.
As fans continue to celebrate Schuldiner’s impact on heavy metal, Hoglan’s insights remind us of the importance of respectful storytelling in music history.
