Xentrix
Xentrix was one of a handful of British thrash bands that existed
in the heyday of thrash (late eighties/early nineties), with
with a style that fit perfectly alongside the leading Bay Area
bands of the time, such as
Forbidden and
Testament .
After four albums, the band broke up for awhile and then reformed
in 1996, eventually releasing
Scourge before disbanding again.
They scored some minor publicity/controversy due to their cover
of the
Ghostbusters theme (the controversy surrounded their
unauthorized use of the Ghostbusters logo on their EP, which was
subsequently re-released with a different cover).
Long disbanded, they've announced their reunion in 2013.
