Although ProgPower USA organizer Glenn Harveston again graciously allowed me (Bill Murphy) to be the Official Band Interviewer for this year's metal fest, a death in my family prevented me from performing my duties. However, I did interview Fates Warning, Diablo Swing Orchestra, and Crimson Glory.
Thankfully, Greg Hasbrouck (aka "General Zod" on Ultimate Metal) was able to step in and conduct the vast majority (10!) of the interviews for ProgPower USA X. Greg did a tremendous job, and I am in his debt.
In addition, the interview with Mindflow was conducted by Brazil native and long-time fan Milton Mendonca (aka "AngraRULES" on Ultimate Metal).
