The Thousandfold Epicentre is the second and final full-length studio album by Dutch occult-themed rock group The Devil's Blood.

The album was reportedly composed over a period of eleven months from January 2010 to November 2010 before it was recorded over a period of two months at Void Studios with longtime producer, engineer, and mixer Pieter Kloos. Several songs were ultimately shortened by a few minutes so that the album length would not exceed the length of a CD

The album was first released in Europe on November 11, 2011 through VÁN Records and later in the United States through Metal Blade Records on January 17, 2012. The album has been released by both labels in CD, LP, and digital download formats. A limited edition version of the album, which includes a 36-page art book, has also been made available through VÁN Records.

On December 9, 2011 the track "Fire Burning" was featured on Pitchfork for streaming. And on January 9, 2012 the track "Die The Death" was featured on Decibel for streaming. A seven part video teaser series featuring song samples and album artwork were released by the band in the weeks leading up to the albums US release date.

The album has received mainly positive reviews from music critics. Metacritic assigned an average score of 79 to the album based on 6 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".Noisecreep placed the album at #4 in their "Best Albums of 2011" list.
