Xentrix
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xentrix is a British thrash metal band of the late 1980s/early 1990s hailing from Preston, Lancashire, Xentrix were one the more promising acts in a rather saturated market at the time. Although they toured hard and produced a well-received and critically acclaimed debut in Shattered Existence, they never achieved a high status.
Xentrix had a small bit of controversy/publicity surrounding the release of the Ray Parker Jr. cover Ghostbusters in which the original artwork for the single had an unauthorised use of the Ghostbusters logo. The single was subsequently re-released using a different cover.
The band broke up after the release of Kin and reformed after a period of inactivity with a new vocalist in Simon Gordon and guitarists Andy Rudd to replace Chris Astley. This line up released 1996’s Scourge only.
