STUCK MOJO/FOZZY Drummer Jams With XENTRIX: Clips Available

February 23, 2006

STUCK MOJO/FOZZY drummer Eric Saunders recently came up to Berlin studios in Blackpool, England to jam with one of his favorite old-school thrash metal bands — reactivated late '80s/early '90s U.K. act XENTRIX.

Commented XENTRIX guitarist Kristian "Stan" Havard: "I met Eric through Luke from PANIC CELL, and he told me that when he was 16 he was really into thrash metal and XENTRIX were one of his favorite bands."

Eric was spending time in the U.K. laying down drum tracks on the new STUCK MOJO album with producer Andy Sneap at Sneap's Backstage studios in Derbyshire. Eric played "Balance of Power" with XENTRIX and then proceeded to give a them display of his diverse rhythmical styles.

XENTRIX drummer Dennis Gasser said: "Wow! Eric is an amazing drummer. He just blew us all away."

Bassist Paul "Macka" MacKenzie was equally impressed: "Has he got an extra arm and a leg hidden away?"

Check out clips of the jam session at this location.

As previously reported, XENTRIX will reunite for two gigs with their original lineup of:

Dennis Gasser - Drums
Paul "Macka" MacKenzie - Bass
Kristian "Stan" Havard - Guitar
Chris Astley - Guitar/Vocals

XENTRIX will play The Bitter Suite in Preston on February 25 and the Engineers Club in Barrow-in-Furness on March 17.

"We aren't reforming," said guitar player Stan Havard in a statement sent to BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "We just got back together to play a gig in Barrow for our bass player's birthday, and decided to add a Preston show as well."

XENTRIX released four albums on Roadrunner Records: "Shattered Existence" (1989),"For Whose Advantage" (1990),"Dilute to Taste" (1991) and "Kin" (1992). They also issued "Scourge" (1996) on Heavy Metal Records with Simon Gordon on vocals and Andy Rudd on guitar.
