"Texas progressive metal artist Six Minute Century starts off the festivities with a long awaited, and well deserved appearance. Hard hitting, melodic, progressive, great songwriting, and soaring vocals are all a part of what this truly talented American band has to offer. With years of live, touring and recording experience between them, it is far past time that the Progpower century hits the Six Minute mark. Fans of Savatage, John Arch"esque" vocals and other similar bands of the genre rejoice. Check out their debut release "Time Capsules" on ITunes, CD Baby, or through Nightmare Records."November 13,2009....

Michael has been playing bass since the age of nine, and began performing at age 13. Michael received formal classical training at South Plains College and Wayland Baptist University. Michael has studied under bass legends Gary Willis, John Adams, and Dean Peer. Professionally, Michael has played many styles of music from swing dance and country to rock and heavy metal. Michael recently played with 80’s rockers Axe, has backed up national gospel group “The Imperials”, and notably Michael beat out bassists from across the United States for the bass slot in “TEXAS: The Musical Drama” in Palo Duro Canyon.

Michael takes over for John Sample (Sampy) who was with the band since its inception. Everyone in SMC wish Sampy the best in his musical endeavors.
Six Minute Century is currently finishing up the songs for the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut CD "Time Capsules", on Nightmare Records. The band plans to enter the studio to start recording in January. The, as of yet, untitled CD will be released in the summer of 2010.
"The new music from "SIX MINUTE CENTURY" while maintaining their signature sound, the new album sounds darker and more progressive, again this band throws everything and the Kitchen sink into their music, but in such a wonderfully unique and skilled way, you’re captivated and moved emotionally." Lance King - voice in metal and CEO of Nightmare Records
