Gene Hoglan has released the following statement on his status for the Fear Factory tour:
”Howdy everybody! I hope your New Year’s been treating all of ya right. Mine has, definitely. Testament and Anthrax to start the year off? Hell yeah! Real quick though, I must point out that this upcoming Fear Factory run in April through June, I won’t be a part of, but I’m sure who ever they get 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. I have some extremely exciting things on the go at that same time and I’m sure some announcements are gonna be made here in the next few days to explain a bunch of what’s gonna be happening in ol’ Hog-Land throughout the rest of the year. I wish everybody the best, and I’m stoked to be where I’m at right now”.
Horns & thumbs, all the way up!
