Xentrix
Scourge
Review by Gary Hill
This 1996 release (just getting reissued) was the final studio album for the initial run of Xentrix. It seems heavier and more nu-metal in some ways to me. It also features a new singer (Simon Gordon). I have to admit that some of the time his voice doesn't work that well for me. When he goes for the Halford-like screams, though, he's really got it. This album feels a lot different than the rest of their stuff to me. It's still strong, but I think that I prefer the earlier stuff.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2023 Volume 2. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2023.
