UK Thrash veterans Xentrix return with 'Allied With the Enemy,' a tentrack barrage that marks their most uncompromising statement to date. Following the critical acclaim of 2022's 'Seven Words', the band push harder, darker and sharper, delivering a record that refuses to pull it's punches.
Recorded from late 2025 into 2026 at Backstage Studios, England, the album once again benefits from the elite production of Andy Sneap, whose precision and power elevate the band's heaviest material yet. The striking artwork, created by UK artist Dan Goldsworthy, completes a package set for worldwide release 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 selfbias 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. If you crave Thrash with purpose, weight and intelligence, 'Allied With the Enemy' is ready to take your head off.
