Truly. If you listen to metal, in the last 40 years, chances are you've banged your head to his work. From Dark Angel, Death, Testament, Fear Factory, Strapping, The D. Townsend Project, fuckin' Dethklok... and more... there's something(s) for everyone. The Human Drum Machine, is one of the most important metal musicians of our lifetime. And that's not hyperbole, just the facts.
@@darkbodie I love The Atomic Clock, don't get me wrong. But, Townsend writes, records, mixes, and produces S.Y.L stuff. The "band" was actually a one man project, initially- with Devin bringing in musicians and friends after the first two albums. I'm not saying that the other member's don't contribute- but, it's Devin's band/show/work. The dude is incredible. Again, all respect and love to Gene Hoglan. He is one of my heroes.
Oh. A Strapping Young Lad cover? From the best album? Covered by DELTA!? Yeah, I'm stopping whatever I'm doing, putting on my headphones and listening VERY closely. The clean SMACK of your snare just pleases my face as it is caressed by the pounding of that Loud. as. HELL drum. Oh! Thunderous, full, non-clicky bass drum smashing my face? Yes! PLEASE! And the CRISPINESS of those cymbals is just DELICIOUS. But most of all? Hearing a clean, LOUD take of Gene's drumming is just SO wonderful. Thank you for another WONDERFUL cover Delta!
Posting before I even watch what I know will be a masterpiece - Detox is my favorite SYL song and what hooked me onto the band and Devin. And Hoglan is one of my favorite drummers. What a treat to discover this gem today after a long awaited Delta return! Bring it!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Been offline for awhile so had a shit load of your vids to catch up on and as usual you’re reading my mind in terms of my favourite tunes! Out fucking standing😃
OK now I know you're a mad lad, or lass? Covering The Atomic Clock, Gene, you have entered the realms of RVP and Samus666. Detox is a hell of a tune, the lyrics, written by Devy after a very unpleasant mushroom trip are wild. The Fear Factory influence can be heard in parts but all and all a balls out "wall of sound" that defined SYL. Well done, again. \m/
great stuff. been listening to devin townsend project , a bit lately(thanks punch sector studios). and a bit of strapping young lad. what a surprise to hear delta empire too.
I have seen Strapping multiple times. I've met Gene Hogland and even teched for him. THAT my friend was FUCKING NUTS ! BRAVO !!!! 10 /10 !!!
That's... that's not the man's name...

*HOGLAND* 😂bRuH
Gene Hoglan is a monster behind the drums, an absolute legend 🤘🏻

He's not called The Atomic Clock for nothing.
I love that you're smiling more in your videos too!
I literally GASPED when I saw the thumbnail for this video. It made me feel like a kid again, even if just for a few minutes. Thanks Delta!
Same! When I saw the name Detox I was like there no effing way!! Of all songs, he picked my favorite SYL song.
Great cover, by a great drummer, of a legendary band! 🤘🏻
Devin Townsend = the mad scientist of metal. Such a badass!
here is about Gene Hoglan

@@rolmodel12.
anyway, it was Hoglan who wrote the drums. for this part, it is precisely his merit, with all due respect to Townsend
That groove at 3:06 is one of my favorite parts of any song ever - thanks for doing it justice dude
Right? It's so simple yet so fucking good
That double bass drum is like running a marathon!!!. impressive execution
Atomic Clock, feet motion never stops.
mind blown mate
Atomic Clock!!!
Fabulous job. How does he always pick my favourite song of every damn band?!
Yeah! Looks like he lived in my own neighbourhood 🤓

YESSSSS!!!!😈
Bravissimo!!!!!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
ROCKET MAN!!!!
Sounds so awesome. I wish they would remaster the album.

I saw them playing this track live in 1997. The venue was shaking.
great stuff. been listening to devin townsend project , a bit lately(thanks punch sector studios). and a bit of strapping young lad. what a surprise to hear delta empire too.
Detox and Gene "Atomic clock" Hoglan challenge? Great job!
Fuck ya! I love this song!!!!! Brings back memories
🔥🔥🔥
Fire🔥🔥🔥👍
Been waiting to see this cover! Would love to see you cover ( I ) by Meshuggah. Twenty one minutes of ass whoop. Keep crushing it!
Messugha won't even play it.....it would be amazing if Delta did it...
