I'm still tryin to pick up some Xentrix vinyl. I've heard mixed feelings about them but I think I'd probably enjoy them.

Shattered Existence and For Whose Advantage? are classics!

If you like Testament, Forbidden and MoP -era Metallica then you'll love them. I highly recommend them to anyone who likes that Bay Area sound.

They were never taken to seriously as a Thrash band because they were English though...

 

[johnnieCzech]

Xentrix kicked ass back in the day! Fear Factory also belongs to my top 10.

I'll have to check it out! I'm always on the lookout for thrash and death metal bands that I haven't heard yet! I'm somewhat familiar with Xentrix, just haven't heard 'em!

Here's a link to For Whose Advantage?:

It's not as good as the first album but I think people around here will enjoy it.

You probably have heard of Xentrix purely because they covered Ray Parker Jr's Ghostbusters theme tune...

They did a kick ass thrash cover version of the Ghostbusters theme song.

 

[strik9]

Thanks Disciple and Johnnie! That's why the name rang a bell! I've got a metal mag that has a list of cover songs you wouldn't think thrash bands would cover, and the Ghostbuster's theme by Xentrix was one of 'em! That theme song RULES! I can picture a thrash version kicking all kinds of ass! Thanks for the link as well Disciple!! I'll check it out!

 

[Social Distortion]

Guns N' Roses
Megadeth
Pantera
Black Label Society
Alice in Chains

They also made a video for it.

No way! That's cool! Was it a good video? Btw Alice In Chains was AWESOME! Definitley in my top 10 fav bands! I was always hoping Layne would overcome his addiction(s) and the band would tour/record. Pretty sad.
AIC just isn't AIC without Layne imo!

As far as I know, AIC are not around anymore. And yeah, the video was good, though as far as I remember there was nothing much but the band playing...

Really? I thought they were continuing with that dude from Damageplan on vocals? I'm sure they played a show? Musta been a one-off then. My bad.
