" Here is a flashback of the highest order.....Those who were into late 80's/early 90's thrash will probably remember Xentrix, a terrific band from the UK who signed with Roadrunner Records in 1989 and released three albums for the up and coming metal label "
" Now we find all their stuff re-issued and re-mastered...with bonus tracks...Fucking cool !....These guys kicked ass !
" Shattered Existence is their debut, and it's a solid thrash affair with more than a fair reminder of classic Testament, as well as a little Iron Maiden, Exodus, and Metallica thrown in as well. Lead singer/rhythm guitarist Chris Astley sounds very much like Testament's Chuck Billy, especially on tracks like "Dark Enemy", "Balance of Power", and the churning "Reasons for Destruction". Musically, these guys were pretty tight, lashing out plenty of intricate thrash riffs and tasty solos from Kristian Havard, and the rhythm section of drummer Dennis Gasser and bassist Paul MacKensie really knew how to blast away "
" Xentrix go on to crack out a fantastic display of Bay area sounding thrash like they were actually based there (although, coming from Leyland, UK – that couldn't have been further from the truth in more ways than one!). Excellent rhythmic open E string palm muted driven thrash-o-rama is mixed up with jagged chord and tempo changes, squealing guitar solos and solid drum work making this a white hot and totally unmissable thrash album not only for fans of the genre, but for fans of metal in general........This is a must.. Thrash Fans....Period !
Request By John...sorta....you said more thrash !...You get it!

The Hunger For Thrash !........Get To It!
