ALLIED IN CARNAGE TOUR
XENTRIX


XENTRIX were called SWEET VENGEANCE from 1984 to 1988. The original lineup consisted of vocalist/rhythm guitarist Chris Astley, guitarist Kristian Havard, bassist Paul MacKenzie, and drummer Dennis Gasser. The band attracted attention with a five-star rating from Kerrang! magazine, and Roadrunner_Records then contacted the band asking them why they had not been sent a copy and arranged an audition with the band. After the audition, the band were signed to the label and recorded their first album Shattered Existence in the summer of 1989. The band toured with SABBAT in support of the album.

In a June 2019 interview with Metal Crypt, guitarist Havard revealed that XENTRIX had already begun writing the follow-up to Bury the Pain. By March 2021, the band had written and demoed at least twelve songs for their new album and announced that August they were in the studio recording it. The album was completed in June 2022, and a month later, the band announced Seven Words (album) as its album title and that it would be released on 11 November. Seven Words peaked at No. 39 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. In order to promote Seven Words, XENTRIX (along with WHIPLASH and ARTILLERY) supported Vio-lence on their European MTV Headbangers Ball Tour. Astley rejoined by filling in for Walsh on the tour as Walsh was awaiting the birth of his second child in November 2022. XENTRIX renewed their deal with Listenable Records in November 2023 and the band are expected to release a new album in 2026.
