Hey guys, we took a rather long hiatus, during which I got to work on my solo album with Marc and Craig. Check out a sample tune on SoundCloud.. Visit my site at http://www.michaelcerna.com for updates and links to purchase the album. If you dig MWC and the guitar work, I think you'll...

Just posting you a snippet from my blog. Bonus points to anyone spots where in the Supernova album I play that ascending major7 tapped run!

I guess we all have a different opinion of what a good mix would be. I like bands that sound nothing like each other. Hell, my mix tapes used to have Neil Diamond right next to Slayer, Dream Theater, Anthrax, and Disney-tunes. It really was ridiculously freezing. I was nearly ready to gut...

D97 rocked! Sucks that you guys went on so early. The show had a hell of a spectrum, didn't it? Full on metal, thrash, prog, classic powermetal, and more. It was a good balance. Lot's of guitar pyrotechnics too. It warms my heart to hear all kinds of shred from the stage. Speaking of which... it...

Carolina IV, for me hands down. I didn't give a shit about power metal until I heard that song!

So, I'm a total Kamelot n00b. I had never heard them until this last ProgPower with Mike singing. They are like one of my new favorites now after Poetry. BEFORE I realized that Jon Oliva was on the album and that they were from Florida, I was noticing that they have that same vibe that I get...

Yeah, these guys are my new favorite band!

I don't know... As a musician, much of the prog that I listen to sounds so predictable. You just start to anticipate the chords, the melodies, the song structures even upon a first listen of a new band. When I get that feeling, I agree with you that prog is stale/dead. But, then I hear something...

Fastway FTW! I would love to hear those guys 20 years later, playing Trick or Treat.

Welcome! My singer turned me on to you guys recently. I can't get enough, keep the music flowin'!

This album is so damned epic. When I'm in the mood for drums, I just pop this disc in the car and go for a ride. 'Anthem' and 'Badlands' create a vibe like no other!

Haha, I initially read that as 'Eunuch' and thought "not ballsy enough?".

Melodic metal, really? Man, this one is so fun to play live. When we did it at the CD release, I was all excited and getting into it. When we were done, it was like Marty McFly at the Enchantment Under the Sea Ball (a few horns, and mostly confused faces). Out of Spite might be too prog-metal...

Dang, thanks man! I'm glad ya dig the stuff. Mountain Dew + Practicing + Idolizing Symphony X can make anyone good. Its crazy watching youtube, everyone and their mom can shred now.

Damn, here I was thinking that I was stealing from Yngwie and Andrew LLoyd Weber while writing some of those riffs. Anyone hear the "On Broadway" part? That is straight up cloning.
