British thrashers Xentrix return to action with a handful of live dates as special guests for Kreator and Evile in April as well as the promise of new material!<\/p>\n
The band have had numerous offers to reform over the years but original singer Chris Astley always declined and as guitarist Kristian Harvard states \u2018without him it wasn’t really Xentrix\u2019. Astley has since had a change of heart and the promise of recording new material has prompted him to return to the fold and bring back one of the UK\u2019s best loved thrash bands.<\/p>\n
Originally thrust into the public eye in the late \u201880\u2019s after their demo received a five K review in Kerrang which in turn caught the attention Roadrunner records, Xentrix soon found themselves in the studio making \u2018Shattered Existence\u2019.<\/p>\n
Of course their now infamous cover of \u2018Ghostbusters\u2019 remains a firm favourite with fans old and new as does the band\u2019s phenomenal second album \u2018For Whose Advantage?\u2019, an album regarded as a bonafide thrash classic.<\/p>\n
The band went onto enjoy a short but successful career that saw them share stages with Slayer, Testament, Sepultura, Annihilator, Sabbat, Tankard and Skyclad before calling it a day in 1996 having become disillusioned with the UK metal scene. <\/p>\n
