Dan Klein – FIN – With Hammering Glance – Exclusive Studio Footage

My name is Dan Klein and I play drums for FIN. Growing up in Chicago, I was raised mostly on classic rock and classical music that my parents would listen to. I Started listening to heavier rock on the radio and some metal stuff by late middle school/early high school. My interest in drums and drumming appeared very early on as a child but I didn’t get to sit behind my first drum set until 6th or 7th grade, was a friend’s at the time. Got my first kit years later when I was 16. Started listening to more extreme death and black metal around that time and I guess you could say I found my desired niche with this type of music.

I played in various local acts that never went anywhere for a while. After high school, I actually quit playing drums for a few years due to an injury. A few years later I started playing again under session circumstances only and then kind of thrust myself into the live/touring thing once I was satisfied with my ability again post-injury. I have played live drums for Disfigurement, session drums on records for Cryptic Fog, Invasion, Throne of Sacrilege, Nocturne, Opacia, Boulderhead, Merkstave (wip), as well as touring and recording two albums with Relentless (U.S) and two albums with FIN (U.S).
