Hey everyone! Ready for our first official band announcement??? We thought we'd start with the two bands that will kick off each night!
Here's the press release - spread the word!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FEBRUARY 02, 2007

TEXAS MADFEST ANNOUNCES TWO BANDS ON 2007 LINE-UP.

Houston's Texas Madfest (July 13-14, 2007) will feature 8 premiere bands in the progressive, power, and thrash metal genres. The first two bands to be announced are ETERNITY BLACK and SIX MINUTE CENTURY.

Eternity Black, featuring ex-Helstar members Rob Trevino, Larry Barragan, and Russell DeLeon, will open the event on Friday night. Hailing fom Houston and endorsed by Diamond Amplification, Eternity Black infuse heavy metal with hard-hitting thrash riffs and extreme vocals.

Saturday's events will begin with Six Minute Century, a melodic progressive band also from Houston. Six Minute Century combine heavy metal with classical orchestraions and technical proficiency to create a mood for their songs relating to historical events.

More bands, along with ticket info, will be announced periodically. Visit myspace.com/madfest for more info and official forum link.

Texas Madfest Co-Coordinator

Woo Hoo! Congratulations Tammy & John! This dream just seems so... real... now. Can't wait to hear the other announcements!

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.

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!
