Thanks Stephen!

[@brandalgo]

That was fantastic! Your drumming has so many different sides to it that make the sound just as diverse as the string instruments. Pleasant surprise for the jams at work today.

[@BrandonBurkhalter]

Thanks so much dude! :)

[@screezy799]

So sick dude! I still jam to your Flourish EP to this day. Just pre-ordered this bad boy, looking forward to it man!

Great playing man. Saw you way back in 2013 in Frisco. Glad you’re still killing it.

[@BrandonBurkhalter]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@MrBatooon]

This is so… unexpectedly good and satisfying! It felt like As Blood Runs Black travelled in time to 2023. So much chugs, old school metalcore vibe and flawless keyboard solo 🎉 Maan that’s a statement.

[@BrandonBurkhalter]

Thanks so much!! I really dug ABRB back in the day!

[@roopekanerva5606]

Awesome drummer, just wow! I would love to see you find a great "traditional" bassist and create something between this and RATM RHCP. Funky but still heavier and something new and modern. Thank you Brandon.

[@willcoRed]

You've always been a amazing writer dude so pumped to see an album coming

[@pelaitoriko]

Ohh yeah !! Awesome !! Greetings from chile 🇨🇱 !! ,🤟🤟🤟

[@brettcrawford4215]

Happy to hear some heavier stuff from you Brandon. I loved all your solo stuff you did as well. It was very intricate and classical sounding. The first song I heard you play was Transcend, so I kinda categorized you as just a bad ass metal drummer until I heard what else you could do.

[@BrandonBurkhalter]

Glad you're digging the new stuff!

[@KL-vt4yg]

Got the album and the creativity is next level. Very interesting to see how a skilled drummer composes guitar with such focus on rhythm. Sometimes I do imagine unclean vocals over the brutal parts of the songs though lol

[@BrandonBurkhalter]

Thank you! Glad you dig the music and appreciate you listening. 😊 There's actually a cut of the record that does have vocals, but I decided it would be best to just keep it instrumental in the end!

Will always support the real genius behind oldschool Polyphia (love what they've become), wish they stayed like this... but at the end of the day we have both groups creating great music, which is probably ideal

[@YouTookMyHandle]

The fact that you are getting all that speed and precision with your fulcrum being that low is impressive. Major chops! Sounds good man keep releasing stuff! Polyphia turned into a widdly guitar brothel after you left lol

[@BrandonBurkhalter]

Honestly I think it's weird, too - I try moving the fulcrum higher up in practice and it always ends up sliding back from the force of \m/, THE METAL ,\m/

[@Unknownusername1004]

That heel toe shit towards the end looks so effortless. How long have you been using heel toe?

The only part of this is... It ends... I hate you Brandon.... Why didn't you just make the song that never ends.... Dude, your taste is.... You wrote this? Man... All I can say is....

[@BrandonBurkhalter]

Thanks for the kind words man 😊

[@JaySmith-d6t]

Ok, first, this guy.... Just who the hell does he think he is? First of all, this guy has the audacity to think he can be in a band like Polyphia and not like be the member who, like totally made that band as cool as it was, cause, come on guys, let's face it, Polyphia is still a bad ass band, but come on... I know soooo many of you agree, it lost something when this guy left.... Come on, someone needs to say it, he was like the limo driver, screw the bus. . Limo.... And then he goes and wrote crap like trenches and pisses other drummers off with his awesome drumming, and.... Like come on, I didn't know he could write music like THAT, did you? like, again pisses the rest of us off because it wasn't "good" it was perfectly awesome, like, trenches and someday are like my ish... I love both of those... They are all good, but those two, man, they are so good. Like, who does this guy think he is? And now, now.... He wants to step it up and, screw you Brandon, you just suck at being a crappy artist, your to good, like, okay man, let's face it, I am going to name drop, Luke Holland played with Jason Richardson and some of Burkalter's fans were all like, he needs a guitar buddy, that's what we thought my dude ... Heh... Like you were too awesome to not jam with another Jason Richardson, but then, I swear, this guy and who he thinks he is, goes off and creates this new music... Okay, even the musicians who played it for video purposes were all like, this is complex and technical, in not so many words, and once again proves, he needs no silly musicians to jam with, he is talented enough to go on his own... I don't know who Brandon thinks he is, but he is! , Okay, this may have been a kinda different message, but, Luke Holland is the only drummer that comes close to you Brandon, I'm sure a lot agree, but dude, like, for real, you are the best, as close as he can comes, he doesn't come close, man, please don't stop what you are doing, I love your work, and you are the biggest inspiration to me and, have no doubt sir, you are an inspiration to so many of us drummers, I have been playing for over 20 years and you come along, Lars Ulrich made me want to play, YOU make me want to be good... Like really good, i love your work no matter where it is, just please, do not stop, I love all of your work, everything. Ps where is 87 drum video, I miss that video, ... Please return it to it's rightful place sir...
