'''Zero Hour''' is an American [[progressive metal]] band formed by twin brothers Jasun Tipton and Troy Tipton in [[Pleasanton, California]], United States, in 1993. They released their self-titled debut album independently in 1999, and followed it up with 2001's ''The Towers of Avarice,'' their first album on the Sensory Records label, which also released all of their subsequent albums.


New vocalist Chris Salinas joined the band for their 2006 album ''[[Specs of Pictures Burnt Beyond]]'', replacing Fred Marshall. Salinas had previously fronted another progressive metal outfit, [[Power of Omens]], which disbanded in 2005 after two albums.
Following 2003's ''Metamorphosis'' (a re-recording of their first record)'','' original singer Erik Rosvold was replaced by Fred Marshall, who appeared on ''A Fragile Mind'', released in 2005.

The band was disbanded due to Troy Tipton's arm injury. Jasun Tipton stated "...he had the surgery and has been working hard to get back into playing shape. He’ll never be perfect but he’s gaining some strength in his arm and pushing forward. Much of the Zero Hour material Troy played with a lot of left hand strength.
