Cerebellion with Villisa and Magnesonic

Cerebellion with Villisa and Magnesonic on Friday, September 11 at The Wayfarer in Costa Mesa, CA!

Antithetical to their Catholic school upbringing in Orange County, CA, twin brothers Joe (vocals) and John Arnold (guitar) formed Cerebellion in 2009 with the idea of societal change by challenging one’s own personal beliefs. Achieving the rare balance of technical proficiency and catchy hooks, the group delivers a punishing yet melodic sound in the vein of bands like Killswitch Engage and All That Remains. “You hear something real in their sound that is often missing from music today” - Jesse Cannon, Musformation. With bassist Marc Battung and drummer Jimmy Schultz, the quartet has been releasing music and doing regional touring since 2010.

Following its three single releases in 2024, Cerebellion released its first single in 2025, “To Thine Own Self Be True” in April to rave reviews and it’s first placement on a Spotify editorial playlist “All New Metal”. The band continues to grow its global following using grassroots marketing strategies on social media. In the last couple years, the band has grown its fanbase at a higher rate than any other point in its history.
