XENTRIX Shares Music Video For Title Track Of Upcoming Album ‘Allied With The Enemy’
UK thrash metal band XENTRIX have released a music video for “Allied With The Enemy”, the title track and first single from their forthcoming album. The release previews an album the band presents as a darker, heavier and more direct follow-up to 2022’s “Seven Words”, with lyrics addressing themes including disinformation, self-bias and social collapse.
The 11-track album is due on 30 October via Listenable Records and was recorded at Backstage Studios in England between late 2025 and 2026, with producer Andy Sneap and artwork by Dan Goldsworthy. The title song, written last for the record, uses horror imagery and a subtle “Alien” reference to explore inadvertent self-betrayal; XENTRIX will also tour the UK and Ireland with Nervosa from 18 to 29 November.
In short
- XENTRIX release title-track video ahead of October album launch.

- Band tour the UK and Ireland with Nervosa in November.
Explained simply
XENTRIX are a British thrash metal band, a style of heavy metal known for fast guitar playing and forceful rhythms. “Allied With The Enemy” is the title song of their next album, following 2022’s “Seven Words”.
The song’s lyrics draw on themes such as disinformation and self-bias, and use horror imagery to explore how people can act against their own interests without realising it. The album is part of a longer-running discussion in music about social and political tensions, expressed here through heavy metal.
