Progressive metallers Ne Obliviscaris have announced Kevin Paradis of Benighted, etc. fame will be sitting behind the kit for their upcoming headlining tours. A statement was issued on the matter earlier today and reads as follows:
‘Introducing….. On Drums…. Mr. Kevin Paradis!
- Advertisement -We are tremendously excited to announce that Kevin Paradis will be joining us on our EXUL world tour that kicks off in Europe next week!
This incredible French drummer, known for his work in Benighted amongst many other acts, was actually the very first person we reached out to after discussing amongst ourselves who we could potentially invite to audition for the band. We were all blown away by his playing and how quickly he connected with the material once he started learning our songs and are thrilled to have him joining us on the road.
Statement from Kevin:
‘When Ne Obliviscaris reached out to me, I considered this a great opportunity to play meaningful and spirited music that blends different atmospheres into great songs and I am honored to be trusted by the band for their upcoming EXUL tours. Learning and rehearsing the songs has already been a huge pleasure and a great challenge. But now I can’t wait to experience this music live with them and to use my drumming skills to serve Ne Obliviscaris‘ beautiful music.”
