Kevin Paradis (Benighted) - Scars [Weiher 2024]

[@xORLOCKx]

How archspire passed on this dude is insane.. Kevin is a living legend.

[@TomDrummer95]

Kevin is an absolute animal, one of the most unique drummers in extreme metal. I've been a fan of his for years, can't wait to see what's next for him.

[@frederf69]

Why is he unique?

[@maartenvalentin4162]

@@frederf69 I take it you are not a drummer and this is a genuine question. otherwise, you are someone else's fanboy and are deliberately blind to what a monster Kevin is :) In case of the former, here is what I think what makes him unique: He is able to hit certain speeds (with single strokes, but also with other techniques) for a long, uninterrupted period. He also does this during an entire live set. As a drummer of my own, that in itself is just insane. Only a handful of drummers on this planet can do that. Secondly, the creativity he adds to many of those crazy fast parts - but not exclusively - makes it really fun to listen to, and makes it even harder playing wise.

[@brettbarrett9423]

Dude, the whole part from 1:58 on is absolutely incredible. I think the parts are so cool and unique. Thanks man. Awesome job, and I hope to see you live some day

BRUTAL !

[@snailduck]

Someone get this guy a new gig already, he's a fucking machine.

[@BrianBegnoche]

C'est parti! We just watched Kevin warm up before our eyes, starting at superhuman and finishing the song at absolute god tier.

Wtf were Benighted thinking when they fired this man

[@maartenvalentin4162]

Even more ridiculous: he will be playing for them until like March or sth.

[@jeffwoolsey6926]

@@maartenvalentin4162 Imagine every band did this to their drummer that auditioned: Spencer Moore (Inferi), John Longstreth (Origin), Ragnar Sverrisson (Ophidian I).... It's so brutally idiotic.

@@maartenvalentin4162 "Even more ridiculous: he will be playing for them until like March or sth." It's called being professional (on both sides).

[@jjakji2078]

And these doofus's fired the man.

[@chaosinception7982]

Archspire really missed a good opportunity.

Dommage qu'il ait quitté le groupe, parce que pour trouver un mec de son niveau, ça va pas être de la tarte!
