Six Minute Century Details New Album
Houston power rock/metal act Six Minute Century will release the new album "Wasting Time" on October 15th via Nightmare Records. Formed in the summer of 2004, the band has become one of the top power/prog bands in the area. Lead by guitarist Don LaFon (Krucible/Mystic Cross/Logan), the band fuses interesting rhythms with the grooves of more southern style metal and the soaring vocal melodies of Chuck Williams. Which in the end give you something sounding in the vein of Savatage/Dio/Kamelot, with the vocal style of Fates Warning/Dream Theater/TNT.
While all members of S.M.C. are technically proficient, the band does not fit the category of a band trying to impress with how many notes they can play. Rather Six Minute Century prefers to write songs with melody and most of all passion! Which has helped them garner a wider audience than many of today’s prog-metal bands. More...

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.
