Xentrix unleash 'Nil by Mouth' music video

English thrash metal band Xentrix's new single 'Nil by Mouth' is taken from their forthcoming album ' Allied with the Enemy'. The music which became 'Nil by Mouth' was initially demoed for the previous 'Seven Words' album but inadvertently became buried then ultimately just disappeared under a wave of newer ideas at that time.

Unearthed again by chance during writing for this new album and given a completely new start on lyrics and vocals - it grabbed a new lease of life and now has become one of the faster favourites.

The song is based around theme of "Involuntary Communication Shutdown".

Lyrically it flows as a commentary of being stuck inside a spin of thoughts, all running too fast and so entangled that they become impossible to process clearly enough to say anything at all.

Musically it's a mix up of classic thrash metal with the twist of modern metal precision, all set together in a tight sounding Metal Production. Thrash guitar riffs, fast double time snare - onbeat into offbeat fused with big chuggy beatdown choruses.

Xentrix's new album 'Allied with the Enemy' will be out on October 30th, 2026, via Listenable Records.
