[@yegorzakharov5740]

This drummer understood the assignment and went for the extra credit.

[@evanblake5252]

Legitimately though, I think this is Bryce's best performance to date. Wild to see how he started out not even being able to play their songs, and now he's onto his second album cycle as their official drummer, and plays like a machine. So proud of him.

[@adamglaser366]

Well freaking said. For real.🤘🤘🤘

He's definitely starting to really fit in with the sound and I love it. This writing is already sounding better than Elegy

[@canexfex5325]

It's a good band, and I like it, but don't exaggerate. It seems like you haven't listened to other bands like Lorna Shore, Mental Cruelty, Carnifex, whitechapel, Synestia. So, I recommend exploring more bands so you don't get stuck with just one group.

[@personalprogress7876]

Ben repping that Fossilization shirt is too sick. A real metal head.

[@victorferreira5852]

Exactly my thoughts lol. The reason i LOVE so fucking much Ben is because he is really the truest of the metalheads in the deathcore scene (as im way more invested in the death metal/black metal scene). Also, since Fossilization is from my country and i really enjoy them, that also means a lot.
