Sounds great!

Think we can convince Six Minute Century to perform a cover song for the event? Sounds like their vocalist might be able to pull off some Arch-era Fates Warning material.

Six Minute Century ...Sounds like their vocalist might be able to pull off some Arch-era Fates Warning material. Stacy

oh hell yeah! That would be killer!!! Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian remains in my top ten albums of all time to this day.

I'd like to say that I will be doing some MAJOR studying during Six Minute Century, as I listen to every note their singer whails. This is gonna be a vocalist clinic for me!

Both of these bands will have you saying 'WHERE THE F*CK HAVE I BEEN" Their music is going to leave the crowd with a kinda of "Freak Kitchen comparison".

Oh Boy this is going to be so much fun.

 

[Bryan316]

Ehh... covers are awesome, but I hope they don't need covers to truly impress!

Rock my socks off, THEN slap me with a great tribute to your heroes.
