244 - Xentrix For Whose Advantage 1990

The sophomore release from UK thrash act Xentrix originally came out in 1990 on Roadrunner Records, now remastered and reissued by Metal Mind Productions. "For Whose Advantage" sees Xentrix take their Bay Area thrash influenced sound one step futher, as the songwriting shows a bit of improvement from their debut Shattered Existence. Some of the tunes are a bit catchier this time around, as the band seemed more intent than ever on putting together some memorable melodies to go along with their potent metal attack. Brutal thrash riffs and pounding rhythms, with the vocals of Chris Astley strong as ever with the just the slightest hint of Chuck Billy from Testament.
