Dan Presland might not be a household name in heavy metal but his dedication & hard work towards his love for music is undoubtedly inspiring. It takes decades to get a worldwide recognition and respect from heavy metal community. But the boys at Ne Obliviscaris optimized it to an efficient level and showed the upcoming bands how the job is done.

We had a chat with NE OBLIVISCARIS & VIPASSI drummer Dan Presland on all things metal. During the 30 minute long conversation, Dan throws lights on various aspects of his career. I have divided the Interview into 2 parts. In this Part 1, he discusses the challenging the band faced from last 5 years, the transition from playing in-front of 50+ fans to 50000+ in Europe, relentless hardwork & smart decision making skills, quitting his day-job and why he did that, why he choose opportunities, creativity over money, teaching drums on tour, his take on CJ McMahon’s departure from THY ART IS MURDER, why he loves to donate money to needy people, his take on touring North America with Cradle Of Filth later this month, relationship with Cradle Of Filth band members, writing new material for NE OBLIVISCARIS album and much more.
