History
Xentrix received some attention by Ray Parker Jr. cover Ghostbusters and the unauthorized use of the movie logo in the artwork. The single was subsequently re-released with a new cover. In Germany the band in 1990 with Annihilator and Despair was on the way. That about the same time published album For Whose Advantage? contained a cover of Townes written by Colin Ian Gillan songs Running, White Face, City Boy.
Following the publication of the partially melody accented failed Kin album in 1992 and a European tour with Tankard, the band split. In 1996 it came with Scourge to a brief restart. In this case, the new vocalist Simon Gordon and Andy Rudd replaced on guitar Chris Astley.
In early 2006, Xentrix reformed for a few gigs in the UK, but was held in September of that year, the redissolution known.
In 2013 the band was back together to work on a new album.
