Epicenter

About Me


”Epicenter: is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the hypocenter or focus, the point where an earthquake or underground explosion originates.”
Another good definition would be the heavy rock 'n' roll played by this four guys where raw energy and sweat comes out of every single pore.
”We give it all, 'cause we need it all”. This is Epicenter's way. The notourios focus on their live performace, where every single detail from lights, smoke, and sound is taken as high priority.
”People shall come and see, hear, and interact with us”. Enough bands ”stand” on stage, the guys of Epicenter conquers every single square of this unholy ground, to prove once more, that Rock 'n' Roll is not only to be heard, it should be felt, rock'n'roll is a feeling, an attitude, it is the beat of life itself, it is a happening where image and sound shall merge together, to create the unique experience of being in the Epicenter, where all matters begins and ends.
”We play what we like, we love what we play”. No fancy stuff, the band is brave enough to uphold tradition in an age of change, and proud of their unbreakable bond with rock 'n' roll, they don't try to reinvent the wheels of rock, it is rock'n'roll as we know and love it, they take these traditions and turn'em up to maximum speed, to make the earth shake and giving the feel of the Epicenter!
With plenty of solid live experience behind them, including memorable jobs with The Hangmen (US), Mustasch (SE), Volbeat (DK), Baby Woodrose (DK) and Rock Hard Power Spray (DK) as some of the highlights, Epicenter are now ready to once again make the earth move under the feet of a new audience!
Excerpt from live review:
”From the first riff thrown at the audience there can be no doubt. Epicenter from Kolding takes the stage with a 7.9 on the Richter-scale.”. ”Lead singer Jackie Petersen emerges with a touch of Jim Morrison to him”. ”The shifts in tempo are precise and the sound is heavier than a pick-up truck with engine problems in the desert sand. Again and again the audience is plunged into the abyss of Kyuss. If the audience is not hot and sweaty at the end of Epicenters show it is not on account of the bands great performance.”.
Horsens Folkeblad (DK)
Excerpt from Seismologic Overload reviews:
“Mont Blanc pens, Aston Martins, Post-It Notes: some things just never go out of fashion. And it's the same when it comes to rock. There's been a large proportion of every generation over the last thirty-odd years that can't help but get goose bumps at the prospect of a leather-trousered power chord or finger-mangling riff. And, in the right hands, these tools can express all the righteous anger of a pre-menstrual rhinoceros. It's no wonder, then, that Danish quintet Epicenter are going down a storm across the Continent with their own brand of unashamedly old school rock. If the three tracks here are anything to go by, the leather-studded heart of rock is alive, well and beating ten-to-the-dozen.”.
