Xentrix was a British thrash metal band of the late 1980s/early 1990s hailing from Preston, Lancashire.
They had a small bit of controversy/publicity surrounding the release of the Ray Parker Jr. cover Ghostbusters in which the original artwork for the single had an unauthorised use of the Ghostbusters logo. The single was subsequently re-released using a different cover.
