Gene Hoglan drum play through of Strapping Young Lad track Skeksis. From Gene's brand new DVD The Atomic Clock : The Clock Strikes Two.


"Devin and I wrote the tune in late summer, early fall of '04, at this shabby downtown Vancouver rehearsal space that kinda represented where we were both at mentally in our lives.

I remember him mentioning that he'd love to have an 'Almighty PunchDrunk' (one of my alltime favorite bands whom I've also drummed for) feel and vibe to whatever was about to come out of us. To me, that meant to include, 'the PunchDrunk beat', which is this great, sambaesque, Latinfeel beat (that I am sure has a nameI'd love to know it) which PD proudly stole from the legendary Canadian band The Smalls. I'm sure you've all heard it a time or two.

Dev and I played around the beat the whole song, getting closest to it in the chorus, then rrreally sinking into it in the last minute or so, in the part I refer to as the 'girl fight' part, because that's what It sounds like Dev is saying there. It is such a fun beat to play, and a real satisfying denouement to the song. A moment of crowning glory to a ruling tune.

The version on the new DVD is a completely reenvisioned mix, where the vocals and samples are absent, really bringing out the rhythm guitars and basic tracks. "
