Mitchell Fogarty bro.... your new album is seriously some of the best music to come out in the last decade. Not trying to kiss your ass, just saying this album is huuuggge!! Congrats to you and the guys for creating a powerful, heavy, entertaining, hard hitting masterpiece. Thank you for bringing something positive to 2020. 🔥🔥💪🏼🍻

[@TreyBDrums]

I'm just glad I found this channel. Every freakin' vid I watch..........it's power and precision central. Grooves are sick as shit, fills are tasty and you've got feel for miles bro.

[@Mitchfogartysessions]

Thanks so much man! Super nice of you.

Thanks homie! That’s what I’m going for 💪🏻

[@bengreen2200]

Just got into alpha wolf through the last album. Drum composition is absolutely on point, real talent.

[@Mitchfogartysessions]

Thanks very much! Glad it like it

[@kylewilson7721]

As soon as I get a kit again (been five fucking years) I'm so fucking playing this song!

Aside from being such a sick song and the drumming being fucking ace, let's all appreciate that Mitch is a legend and seems to reply to everyone here. Everyone go sub to the AlphaWolf Patreon. Well worth it!

[@Mitchfogartysessions]

Thank you!

[@jwspitz35]

Fuuuuuuck man when I heard this for the first time I thought you were playing on a MASSIVE kit because of the fills you were doing, but to see you're playing on a 4-piece makes it even more impressive. This was tight as hell

[@Mitchfogartysessions]

Haha! I can see how you’d think that listening back. Thanks a bunch!

[@jwspitz35]

@@Mitchfogartysessions the same thing happened when I first heard Brann from Mastodon's drumming--I was expecting a Mike Mangini-type setup from him lmao but nah, you guys are just creative as hell and can make a smaller kit sound enormous, it's insane

[@jezza3045]

That’s Tight bro! 🤘 those fills are epic
