2. (Trenton, NJ)
Hailing from the Philadelphia/Trenton area, Centralia burst onto the scene in early 2005 with a vision to bring good music to the masses. Tired of seeing how the heavy music scene has been mired with cookie cutter sound-alikes, the band came together to do something a little different.
Originally a 4 piece, Centralia made their mark by writing hard hitting music, while maintaining an original style that comprises most heavy styles of music, along with clean melody as well
As a 4 piece, Centralia recorded their self-produced EP, The Burning Hell Below. This 5 song EP showcased Centralia’s heavier side, and at the same time, showcasing Mark’s vocal ability and range.
Centralia started to grow musically, and their writing shows it. But, with growing, usually comes growing pains. Centralia realized that to fill out their sound, something more was needed.
Trying different additions to the band seemed unfruitful. Several musicians were tested, but none seemed to know what Centralia were aiming for.
Finally, Joe Gorski auditioned for the band. Joe has a history of playing with other local area bands, and has been signed to record labels before. Also, his experience brought a depth to the writing style of Centralia. The band was now complete.
The future for Centralia looks bright. With a hunger for ever expanding their musical knowledge and style, they look forward to broadening their horizons, and becoming more accessible for the world’s entertainment!
