He is famous for his creativity in drum arrangements and his technical playing, extremely accurate at almost any tempo—earning him the nickname "The Atomic Clock". In 1984, Hoglan began his music career as a roadie (lights engineer) for the seminal thrash metal band Slayer, where he also played the drums during the soundcheck. He was also part of the band War God with Michelle Meldrum. At the end of the same year he was asked to join the thrash metal band Dark Angel as the drummer. He penned most of the lyrics for Dark Angel's next three albums. He achieved greater notoriety during the mid-1990s playing with Death, at the same time that bandleader Chuck Shuldiner was taking that group into a more progressive style.
 
Hoglan recorded one album with the thrash metal band Testament, and made the acquaintance of Canadian multi-instrumentalist Devin Townsend, forging a lasting friendship. He has since recorded several albums with Townsend, both as part of the speed / industrial / death metal band Strapping Young Lad and under Devin Townsend's name. Hoglan, also a part of a death metal band called Trenet, the brainchild of Strapping Young Lad guitarist Jed Simon. The band has been signed to Century Media Records, but has not yet recorded an album.

Hoglan played double duty by playing a set with Strapping Young Lad then later that night performing with Opeth. Hoglan also appears in Opeth's music video "The Grand Conjuration" as they filmed it on the tour while in Los Angeles, California. Other bands have also recruited Hoglan as a session drummer. He has recorded albums with the Norwegian black metal band Old Man's Child and the Danish death metal band Daemon.
