XENTRIX has released a music video for "Allied With The Enemy," the title track from the UK thrash band's upcoming album, due October 30 via Listenable Records.
The record was tracked at Backstage Studios in England across late 2025 and into this year, produced by Andy Sneap — a longtime fixture of the British thrash and extreme metal scene whose credits run from KREATOR to JUDAS PRIEST. Cover art comes from UK artist Dan Goldsworthy.
"Allied With The Enemy" leans into horror imagery to make its point, with the band describing the album's central question as: "What if the biggest betrayal wasn't just someone turning against you, but you being inadvertently turned to betray yourself?" That framing carries subtle nods to the "Alien" film series, filtered through XENTRIX's usual blend of thrash aggression and metal songcraft.
The album runs eleven tracks, opening with "Rip Saw" and closing on the bonus cut "We Drink The Same Poison":
- Rip Saw
- Allied With The Enemy
- Killer Unknown
- On Burned Remains
- Nil By Mouth
- Doomsday Hook
- The Dark Eternal
- Where The Madness Lies
- Snake In Waiting
- No Bridges Left To Burn
- We Drink The Same Poison (bonus)
XENTRIX formed in Preston, England, in the mid-1980s and became one of the UK's flagship thrash exports alongside bands like ONSLAUGHT and SABBAT, building a catalog that's persisted through multiple lineup shifts and a lengthy 1990s hiatus. The band will take "Allied With The Enemy" on the road for the Cross Atlantic Carnage U.K. tour with NERVOSA, running November 18 through 29.
