U.K.

thrash veterans XENTRIX have unleashed their most uncompromising statement to date with the ten-track album 'Allied With The Enemy'.

Following the critical acclaim of their 2022 release 'Seven Words', the band has pushed harder, darker and sharper, delivering a record that refuses to pull its punches.

Recorded from late 2025 into 2026 at Backstage Studios in England, the album benefits from elite production by Andy Sneap, whose precision and power elevate the band's heaviest material yet.

The striking artwork created by U.K.

artist Dan Goldsworthy completes a package set for worldwide release later this year through Listenable Records.

Musically, 'Allied With The Enemy' is XENTRIX at full force — melodic when it chooses to be, atmospheric when it needs to be, and absolutely crushing when it wants to be.

It brings the metal back into thrash, kicking out the trash and doubling down on the band's signature bite.

Lyrically, the album cuts with intent.

Themes of disinformation, blind popularity, social and personal collapse, and self-bias run through the record with clarity and conviction.

This is not light listening — it's music that demands attention and rewards those who want something to think about.

The album's tracklist includes 'Rip Saw', 'Allied With The Enemy', 'Killer Unknown' and more.

XENTRIX will embark on a U.K.

tour with NERVOSA, including dates in Bradford, Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow and London.

The band features vocalist/guitarist Jay Walsh, guitarist Kristian Havard, bassist Chris Shires and drummer Dennis Gasser.

XENTRIX parted ways with guitarist/vocalist Chris Astley in 2017 and replaced him with Walsh.

The band rose to fame after their demo received a five-K review in Kerrang!, which caught the attention of Roadrunner Records.

XENTRIX released four albums on Roadrunner Records before disbanding in 1996.
