Xentrix

I've always like "For Whose Advantage", but recently scored a copy of "Shattered Existence". Man, this is just great thrash metal. Any other fans? What are your favorites? Thoughts?

i only have For Whose Advantage & i think it's great. the title song alone is a ball breaker.

Great band. Their first two albums are amazing albums.

They are all GREAT! Except Scourge kinda wandered off a bit. It took me 10 years to finally score the Ghostbusters ep for a reasonable price.

I'm glad they included the Ghostbusters EP as bonus tracks on "Shattered Existence". Not the original, but still cool to have.

Didn't I give you my copy of Scourge kmorg? It was actually my first exposure to the band and I remember thinking it sucked too.

I'm not sure. I know gave me a band named Scourge once. And they sucked! That CD went to the local used shop here.

I had their first 2 cd's back in the day. loved em.

Was also kinda into the English thrash metal movement back at the time as well. Apart from Xentrix, if you can find them bands like Re-Animator, Acid Reign & the mighty Lawnmower Deth (look out for their ripping version of Kids in America) are worth listening to as well.

Ah the memories....

I dig Re-Animator. Acid Reign are on my WANT LIST.

Acid Reign were great! I love those old "humorous" thrash bands. Check out Spazztik Blurr, as well, as it can be found pretty cheap.

You can still pick up vinyl copies of their albums "The Fear" & "Moshkinstein e.p." on eBay, but their CD's are OOP. Mind you there is a CD copy of "The Worst of Acid Reign" currently on eBay. Pretty pricy though, but then that's not surprising.

Did also see a Japanese copy of "Obnoxious" but it's been since snapped up.

Been listening to these guys a lot lately. The cover of Running White Faced City Boy is killer but I'd say Crimes is by far my favorite song by them.

Been looking for their albums for awhile but to no avail so far...

I like the rest of the bands from the english scene that Xentrix came out of...stuff like Hellbastard, Sacrilege, and Lawnmower deth.

Really good band! I only own the Dilute To Taste EP and For Whose Advantage? (some viking fellow traded them to me....) albums on CD, but I've heard most of what they put out. The opener Questions from For Whose Advantage? is a MONSTER of a thrash tune!!

I enjoyed all the UK thrash acts from that time (of course, I enjoy almost all thrash period.......but that's neither here nor there).

That's where I got mine, except I got 'em during one of their sales.

Love these guys! Always been one of my favorite bands. Too bad they checked out of the scene though

I only have For Whose Advantage but its a great album.I need to get Shattered Existence.

Thanks for the link Metalguy.

Their first works weren't the most original, but everything up to Scourge was cool to listen to.

I only have the Ghostbusters CD, which took Uncle Saxon 10 years to get to, but he ended selling it on ebay :p

The only ones I dont have are Kin and Scourge.

I have Shattered Existence......good stuff!

I think Re-Animator on cassette.....man I think I might have to break that one out soon!

Not famiiar with these guys but I saw Shattered Existence and For Whose Advantage? in Half Price Books. They were $15 and $13 respectivley. This suggested that they were rare so I picked them up Looks like I was right because these are not remastered but origionals. Interested in hearing them later.
