It is now the end of what has been 14 month behind the kit with Ne Obliviscaris with 68 gigs across Europe, North America and Australia. Indeed, after Hellfest, the band has informed me that they will welcome back Dan Presland behind the kit. I want to thank the band for the opportunity of serving their beautiful music live during these successful tours and festivals, an opportunity that gave me even more will and passion for my job. It was an amazing experience that came to me unexpectedly. I gave it my best shot, and I hope I was able to serve the music well during all these amazing shows. I understand the band decision, albeit It wasn’t without any sad feelings that I said goodbye to the band in the very same airport we meet for the first time back in May 2023, at Helsinki. I remain as motivated as ever to give my best to Benighted and for any opportunity that might comes to me. OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM NE OBLIVISCARIS : “First of all, we just wanted to thank @kevin_paradis_drumming who has done a wonderful job over the last 14 months as the band’s live drummer on our EXUL world tour. Kevin has been part of some of our best ever tours and we are grateful for his contribution in creating so many special moments performing as a band during this time. Reuniting with @dan__presland on drums was not something we had in mind until quite recently. But after 3 years apart, and a rekindled friendship, the lure of performing both ‘Citadel’ and ‘Exul’ albums in full with Dan behind the kit is something we are incredibly excited about. This exciting news, combined with our just completed European summer festival tour, the amazing new Mark Lewis re-master of ‘Citadel’ on the horizon (out Aug 16) - which sounds simply incredible- & our first ever tour through South America this November, sets up an amazing second half of 2024 for the band. We can’t wait to share this updated version of Citadel with you & see you on the road!"
I just watched your first video of this song from like a year ago. And now im watching this one. Its interesting to see the way your interpretation of this song has developed over time. Great stuff.
Neo.....PICKED YOU KEVIN......so you got to be proud of that.....quite possibly one off the hardest drum thrones to fill at short notice also.......exceptional job ..... ..
An amazing performance!! Wish you the best Man. Equus...first song on the set list, played impecable and we see you enjoying and adding you´re touch to the song. Mad respect to you and Dan.
Such an awesome opportunity you had. I saw y'all perform in Denver back in October and it was probably my favorite concert I've been to. I hope something equally epic comes along for you soon, you absolutely kill it behind the kit.
There was only one man that could replace Dan Presland and it was you, you did an outstanding job, Ne Obliviscaris drum parts are fucking complicated and really fucking fast at times. Sad to see you go but Dan is back so we are back in business. Best of luck of what you go next to do.

Kevin how do you remember so many intricacies with all the music for bands you've played with. I'm thinking your not really from this planet.... it's not possible. Always a Fan.
Extremely nice drum sound live! How can one praise the cleanliness of the live playing? I don't know, but haven't seen that often ... You were the perfect fit for the replacement definitely!!! Keep up the insanely good work!
I'll be honest, I'm happy about Presland return, it was the right decision, he's a huge part of NeO identity. But man you did better than any drummer could've possibly done, and thanks for it.
WoW Kevin 🎉absolutely incredible work. Flawless performance. Did you even break a sweat 😂. Sad to see you leave NeO. Looking forward to your next adventure ❤ 🕊️ ✌🏾
the precision and accuracy of this drumming performance is enthralling and beyond my comprehension. reminiscent of david diepold and tobias schuler... two further instances of my most fav drummers!
"I gave it my best shot, and I hope I was able to serve the music well during all these amazing shows." Bien oui, mec! Bien sur! You're being "replaced" by the original drummer. Glad you had the chance to play with this dynamic band. You deserved the spot and you did it perfectly.
Not familiar with NO’s material, did you alter parts to fit your playstyle? Such tasty licks in there damn. Amazing performing this clean live! They were lucky to have you 🍀
Bonjour Kevin, excellente prestation comme d'habitude 🤘. J'aimerais beaucoup acheter tes baguettes signatures que j'ai vu sur une ancienne vidéo. Je ne les trouve pas sur le net ☹. J'adore ton travail 🥁 Edit: J'ai trouvé j'avais pas vu le lien désolé
If there will be on the same stage Vegard Sverre Tveitan - Ihsahn and Kevin Paradis - then they won't understand who plays the guitar and who plays the drums
I got to see you with NeO in Dallas, TX here in the US and you did fantastic! Was an honor to meet you and the band afterwards, not only are you an amazing drummer (one of the few humans on the planet that could do this music justice behind the kit IMO) but you're also a kind and humble person. I hope to see you play in the states again regardless of who you're playing with!

Had to come back to say that snare sounds sooo freaking good!
I'd say unknown... not underrated!

Not only you’re super technical and fast but you can really groove!
C'est hyper propre, beau à voir et très musicale! bref, impressionnant

Can't wait to see them in Budapest.

J'y était ! un set trop court à mon gout ! un final incroyable...
j'ai découvert Kévin sur la chaine French Grip Chanel... Merci pour cette vidéo !!!!
Both Kevin and the original drummer are fantastic drummers
great video, great sound and perfect execution. Congratulations on a job of 10.
Saw you at John Smith festival in Finland, I was blown away by your playing. 10/10 gig!
The mastership.
Extremely nice drum sound live!
How can one praise the cleanliness of the live playing? I don't know, but haven't seen that often ...
You were the perfect fit for the replacement definitely!!! Keep up the insanely good work!
Thanks a lot !
Wow ce groove et cette vitesse en même temps 😳 j'aurais trop voulu venir au Hellfest cette année !
amazing

Brutal Kevin 💪💪💪🤘

killed it
The only thing more epic than those double kick patterns was the dryness of that snare. Like the Sahara desert. 😍
Thanks a lot, I love this Pearl Ultracast !
IN-CROA-YABLE !
respect!
eU👑
🔥🔥🔥
Onwards and upwards !

Amazing performing this clean live! They were lucky to have you 🍀
@@Jordy666sic i have mainly respected what was written by Dan but I have also tried to had my own things. Thanks !
Loved this! You fit perfectly with NeO!
Any chance there's a playthrough of Suspyre coming sometime soon? (Either live or studio)
Bonjour Kevin, excellente prestation comme d'habitude 🤘.
J'aimerais beaucoup acheter tes baguettes signatures que j'ai vu sur une ancienne vidéo. Je ne les trouve pas sur le net ☹. J'adore ton travail 🥁
Edit: J'ai trouvé j'avais pas vu le lien désolé
What snare is that? Sounds crispy af!
JEeezzus fkin christ. Well done!
If there will be on the same stage Vegard Sverre Tveitan - Ihsahn and Kevin Paradis - then they won't understand who plays the guitar and who plays the drums
everything in place, you left NeO to join Archspire hahaha
Dan Presland left the band?

Super propre mais j’ai vu entre 1.23/1.25 y’a le regret de tous les batteurs
Who the fuck is this guy?!
