Xentrix

There are atleast 3 artists with this name;
(1) Formed in 1985 in Preston, Lancashire, British thrashers Xentrix (pronounced Zen-tricks) began their careers by playing metal covers before focusing all of their efforts on coming up with original material. Initially known as Sweet Vengeance, guitarist/vocalist Chris Astley, guitarist Kristian Havard, drummer Dennis Gasser and bassist Paul Mackenzie created enough of a stir through their live performances that the English branch of Roadrunner Records took notice and signed the group in January 1989.

Vile Evils

Just like Evil Nine, there were 2 of them & Vile Evils were neither vile nor evil, not really. The name came from their favourite punk rock tune, "Ambition" by Subway Sect, which closes with the line "And I won't be tempted by vile evils cos vile evils are vile evils". Can't argue with that now, can you? They were formed when the 2005 reunion of Pop Will Eat Itself (PWEI) failed to become a full-time project. Former singer Clint Mansell had declared himself too busy with his film soundtrack work and that was that. Oh well...
