Xentrix (pronounced "zen-trix") are a British thrash metal band of the 1980s hailing from Preston, Lancashire. Formed in 1985 as Sweet Vengeance, Xentrix were one of the leading lights of the British Thrash movement. They had music videos for their cover of Ray Parker, Jr's "Ghostbusters", "For Whose Advantage?" and for their track "The Order of Chaos", which had regular air time on Headbangers Ball. Xentrix's biggest show was at Wembley in 1991, opening for Slayer. Xentrix never gained global notoriety, but had many underground performances with audiences of over 2,000 to 5,000 people in attendance. By 2006, Xentrix had sold over 500,000 records worldwide.
