Epicenter

Epicenter is a thrash metal band hailing from New Hampshire—specifically around Pelham and Nashua—who got their start back in 2007. The group was born out of a middle and high school friendship, with the original members bonding over shared musical tastes and initially flirting with power metal before fully embracing thrash. Their lineup features Zak King on lead vocals and drums, Ryan Burke and Jared Towne on guitars, and Steve Foley on bass. Epicenter has become a local favorite, known for energetic live shows that get crowds moving with their relentless riffing and tight tempo changes. Their debut full-length, *Grab the Reins*, was released in 2014 and they’ve since put out several tracks and EPs, continuing to build their reputation as a boundary-pushing force in the New England metal scene.

Fans love Epicenter for their dedication to classic thrash energy and their ability to connect with audiences both in small clubs and at larger festivals, where their performances have left lasting impressions on metal fans throughout the region.
