painters will forever be my favorite song, to me it's literally musical perfection

[@66Samus]

fucking sick man!!

[@DanPresland]

ohh yeeeer thanks mate!

[@blainemono3544]

12:36 one of the best blasted moment ever, it's not a music anymore, but the pure tsunami of sound.

[@josephmoore5967]

First off, I can't understand ANY downvotes, but you have to account for the mentally/aurally dead. That said, listen mate, I am an old Opeth fan, I couldn't believe their mastery of multiple shades of extreme music, and the ability to marry light and dark. Then they disappeared up the ass of Mike's mid-to-late 70's rock childhood, never to be seen again. I WAS DISTRAUGHT. No more "April Ethereal"s, and such magics. Now I found you lads. Those riffs. That violin. The duality of your singers. The way you paint with music. It's like a death metal Yes. And you, mate, your kit work is a treat. Soft to hard/fast, use of the kit, tasteful fills/choices. Footwork/speed. Stop on a dime patterning. Just, bows, applause and cheers. brother.

[@Babis_music]

I couldn't have said it better. Congrats.

[@PanthraxIV]

Death metal Yes, perfect way to describe it.

[@Will057]

This is spot on.

[@FriendlyMxdder]

Joshua Ciardelli 100% NeO has impacted my life

[@bungle6334]

You and I are much alike. Opeth was my favorite band, and now so is Ne Obliviscaris. I saw them live in Bellingham, WA about six years ago. I talked to a few of them and they are extremely humble guys. They don't let their talent get to their head, at all.

[@MarkkitosSnowboard]

I've seen this like 1000 times

[@miketag7541]

Marc Lopez Duran prolly 4000 times by 2020?

[@danielelewis9303]

How does it feel to be one of the best metal drummers in the fucking planet? I can't even describe how beautiful this is.

[@nicktalope]

if the guitar solo sounds that good (at like 10 min), it's because you bring it up with a lot of sensibility. And that give me chills.

[@NelsonEcclesiastes]

7:54 ... Lo and behold! There I found a new metronome,,,

[@Chaosmos_1349]

12:30-13:30 always gives me goosebumps

[@GabC87]

The drummer without any defects 🤘🥁🔨❤️

[@Kane34572]

How can someone possibly be this good. I aspire to drum like you one day man! Keep it up! Never stop man!!

[@DanPresland]

Kane34572 thanks so much for the kind words. i’m stoked you’re inspired! keep at it!

[@Kane34572]

You guys have set my music taste so high now it’s practically impossible to enjoy any other music other than you guys!!! RESPECT!

[@jaredryan142]

3:48 - 4:20 is still probably one of the coolest bits of drumming I've ever heard

[@birdie-tf8oq]

exactly! it's insane how he can play snare in 1/3 yet hit all of the hi-hats and yet be shredding the bass, so technical, so beautiful

[@metalover2]

so original. I love your fill choices so much. thank you for existing dude. so good

[@WhiteSlash_Guitars]

I'm always impressed by how fast and accurate you can play... yet the music is more than just speed ! It's perfect :D I discovered NeO last year thanks to the hellfest, and it's definitely one of my favourite bands !! :) Keep up the amazing work :D A fan from France.

[@Blackhawks928]

Got the chance to meet you before the Chicago show a few days ago. You and the rest of NeO are such quality musicians and great people. Never stop making this incredible music together!!

[@munirbarreto1775]

Amazing job bro!! I'm Brazilian drummer and subscribe your channel now!! Congratulations for your technique and musicality!!

[@ShawonDasACorpseOnVacation]

If each of Dan's drumming (with NeO) was a kind of food, I'd would have eaten it 7days a week, 30 days a month, fuck everything else, 365 days a year. It's quite impossible and simultaneously mind-boggling to describe the fact that just how tasteful an (and almost all of his works) Extreme Metal drumming can be. Take a bow mate, you ARE amazing, let me rephrase, mesmerizing. Just because of music like this, I feel lucky to even be alive. Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤

[@TheSullenDude]

You are annoyingly good mate. Hats off.

[@rajathramesh1439]

Too impressive to be real. Respect +Dan Presland. Keep up the spirit! \m/

[@koenigsolomon]

YES! FUCK YES! ♥ And you can't go wrong @60fps. ;) Excellent stuff, Dan! Hope to see you down here in Argentina some time.

[@KainLustt]

Martín González Devia me too! Planning to become a patreon so i can help them to come here and countries like Brazil or Mexico. I'd love to see Dan playing this in front of my eyes. That's a dream.

[@koenigsolomon]

Please do, dude!

[@KainLustt]

Martín González Devia I will! and if you can do it to, or atleast convince someone to help :p

[@Thadyson666]

Brasil. Acredito que já vi esse vídeo umas dez vezes. Muito bom! Acompanho o seu trabalho, parabéns!

Been waiting a long time for these. Now to froth at the technique I will never have. Great drumming as always! And I see you took the advice about higher framerate, it really helps when watching.

[@Lucky7sDN]

Been waiting for this play through since the album came out. Did not disappoint. great stuff. Awesome to see how your playing has changed since the previous record.

[@FriendlyMxdder]

I HIGHLY advise listening to this song on some sort of psychedelic ;) its a whole different experience, this song has quite literally touched my soul in such a positive way, thanks dan!

[@payunguf8071]

Friendly Mxdder OMG I KNOW! This music was meant for it dude!! All of the raw emotion is un-explainable this song gives you It all, it shows you the light and the dark and it’s all very breathtaking, I’ve heard this song atleast 1000 times but it’s like hearing the song in such a way that you can only hear while tripping, you pick up on so many details and the music moves you, I fucking love this band so much and everything they’re doing! And lastly I love PSYCHEDELICS!! Safe tripping ❤️🌎☺️

[@FriendlyMxdder]

Payungu F 💜 Dropped 400ug and proceeded to listen to this song for 6 hours straight, you’re 100% this song totally moves you! I’m glad someone else has experienced how great it is! Safe tripping to you aswell friend 💜

[@FriendlyMxdder]

THE GOD OF GODZ AYEEE good luck bro!! I took 4 tabs (each dosed 100ug) this song was phenomenal!! I listened to it for the entire duration of my trip! I’ve heard this song and watched this video at least a thousand times and I’ve never heard it in such a way!! Let me know how it goes!! ❤️

[@zezimaownz432]

My favorite part has to be the slowed down part at the end

[@eurosnuke1678]

incredible work! really like the song, and drums on it, and those sounds... damn! but is it just me or do i really hear little reverb on snare drum?

[@Syphon_Drummer]

Yeah, there's some reverb in there. Sickdrummer just posted a play through of him, there's an interlude in the middle of the song and the reverb on the snare is oooofff.

[@jailsdrum]

Masterpiece!

Excelente combinación, alternacion, y coordinación en pies... Muy bueno para aprender algo bien... Congratulations men its so god. \m/_

[@papermillequipmentsolution]

Great Playing ! Are you using ankle motion for the fast double bass part? May I ask your pedal setting? Is the spring tension high? Thanks

[@kamenb8947]

Masterpiece

[@akufamilia]

That's the stuff :)

[@Nazgul667]

12:43 - best fill ever

[@davidadams830]

Two questions one how do you memorize those parts? Two when you do fast traditional blast beats i noticed when you hit the right hi hat you go more towards the middle and it sounds a little different is that your idea? Really cool song by the way

[@DanPresland]

1. I just practice the songs a lot I guess 2. Yea I hit different parts of hi hats to get different sounds

[@TheDrummerKick2]

What a masterpiece!

[@creativeworx]

Nailed it!

[@joshualynn9913]

Incredible combination of technicality and speed. Would like to hear more polyrhythm but I don't that suits the band

[@Akron162]

How many calories burns this guy per song?

[@samage2]

Oh darn, I was wondering the same. You made my day dude

[@NKG416]

I WANT TO QUESTION WHOMEVER DISLIKE THIS!

[@rembo96]

No, why did you cut the ending! :) Incredible video and great song. The only minus is in the imperfection of structure; of course, I know how hard it is to make such a long song, but at 11:10 it just stops and the next part is kind of unconnected. Otherwise, the song is almost perfect, close to the level of first album songs.

[@rembo96]

@Cameron DesRosier No, in this part there are about 15-20 seconds more (bass melody).

[@rafaelmorales4534]

@@rembo96 that part is the same in the original song

[@spacepunchgaming6732]

Why did you ditch the mega bell ride?!?! lol you love you K customs.

[@DanPresland]

still have it, it's just not suited to NeO's music
