Xentrix-Advantage-small.jpg

Hailing from the North West of England, Xentrix was formed in 1985 by guitar player Chris Astley. After numerous changes to the line up they signed with Roadrunner records and entered the studio to record their first album 'Shattered Existence' with producer John Cuniberti (Vio-lence, Forbidden, Joe Satriani).

The nineties saw them play with bands such as Testament, Sacred Reich and pagan thrashers Sabbat. The legendary Tommy Vance of the BBC Radio 1’s Friday Rock Show brought them down to Maida Vale studios to record a session for the show where they performed a thrash version of the 'Ghostbusters' theme tune, which was already a favourite with stage divers at their live shows. Xentrix went on to tour Europe with Canadian label mates Annihilator, open for Brazilian thrash giants Sepultura and tour Germany with Alco-Metal outfit Tankard.

2026 sees Xentrix return with a new ten‑track barrage that marks their most uncompromising statement to date. Following on from their previous 2022 release 'Seven Words', the band push harder, darker and sharper, delivering a record that refuses to pull any punches.

Recorded from late 2025 into 2026 at Backstage Studios, England, the album once again benefits from the elite production of Andy Sneap, whose precision and power elevates the band’s heaviest material yet.

The striking artwork, created by UK artist Dan Goldsworthy, completes the package set for worldwide release through Listenable Records.
