XENTRIX ni aku kenal melalui album Shattered Existence. Orang kata depa ni British answer to Metallica. Mungkin terlampau tinggi comparison tu tetapi memang ada iras-iras. Setakat yang aku ingat (album tu aku beli kaset lama dah), riffs dan lenggok memang thrash Bay Area punya style dan memang thrashing. Anyway, album Kin ni is the remastered version. Album terkahir sebelum depa berpecah. Ianya lebih progresif sesuai dengan kata-kata mereka sendiri bahawa Xentrix bukanlah band Thrash pada spiritnya tetapi Heavy ikut acuan mereka. Memang agak sukar nak masuk album ni tapi it will take more that a few listening to get into it.
XENTRIX Kin (remastered) digipak #1361 of 2000
Xentrix was a British thrash metal band of the late 1980s/early 1990s hailing from Preston, Lancashire.
They 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 guitarist Andy Rudd to replace Chris Astley. This line up released 1996’s Scourge only.
The band briefly reformed with its original line-up for a small number of dates in the UK in the early part of 2006. In September 2006 it was announced that the band was splitting up with no intention of reforming in the future.
