jos - now, THIS is scary! Xentrix was another band I wanted to put here!!!  For Whose Advantage? (1990) is my favourite Xentrix album BUT I haven't listened to all of them yet (their last one - Scourge (1996) - is mystery to me); good, inventive thrash that is quite close to what the Metallica guys were doing but, to me, Xentrix was always better. And even their next-to-last album, Kin (1992), that was an almost mirror-image of The Black Album was still pretty strong and I listen to it often (while I don't even HAVE Metallica's Black). Quorth, slayrrr - you should like the band, I think! What's your fave of theirs, jos? |

Dominus and Winter are, sadly, names I'm not familiar with. Haven't heard Xentrix's Ghostbusters, either - it was only released on an EP, wasn't it? And - is Scourge worth trying to get? F5's website is right here - www.f5theband.com/ - and I know they used to have some mp3's with their stuff there, not sure if it's still like that. |

Okay, listened to these!
Ghostbusters is pretty great - except, perhaps, it could have been longer. Scourge sounds interesting but at 1 minute+ it doesn't have time to show its true teeth, I guess. Will see if I can find the album. Thanks again!

What about Type O Negative? Haven't heard anything from them lately... They put on a helluva show in concert though.  |

Oh, I think they're still around.
As long as there are goth kids, there'll be Type O.
They were just on tour a couple years ago. Friend of mine went to see 'em.

I never enjoyed Type O too much. Peter Steele frightens me. No, seriously. I'd rather listen to Rob Zombie all the time.

I never liked the Goth Rock scene either. Type O never appealed to me at all.
Bart, that Xentrix band will get a listen to. Any recs for albums?

slayrrr - I'd say For Whose Advantage or Kin are two good ones to start with. Classic Xentrix style there.

Alright, I'll give them a look when I go shopping soon. Thanks Bart.

No problem at all. I'm very interested in your opinion on their music.

As I said, I'll give them a look see. Any band that calls itself a thrash band gets me interested in them.

Peter Steele frightens me. He's frightening...but he's very pretty.  |
