Xentrifuge brings a groundbreaking blend of Industrial-based sound, fused with noise, and a touch of heavy guitar work to create a hauntingly melodic, yet raw and unforgiving product.
Chris X started Xentrifuge in 2005 - a blend of Harsh Industrial and Dark Electro.
In 2007, "Light Extinguished" was released on Noitekk/Black Rain Media, Gravitator, and COP Int. (Peaking at number six on the DAC, Xentrifuge established a loyal international following).
In 2009, Xentrifuge continued to break boundaries. The highly anticipated second album "Converting Infinity", was a hit with fans and the world-wide industrial music scene.
Over the years, Chris X worked with a variety of live artists, but by 2012 realized something more stable was needed and Lisa Hellen quickly became an integral part of the band.
Always evolving, in 2014 Xentrifuge returned with a barrage of singles and remixes as well as live performances.
The duo released the single, "Machine Winter" in 2016 which immediately became a fan favorite. A final version of the song appears on the full-length album, "Desensitized Parallels" available March 2nd, 2018 worldwide via Cleopatra Records.
After spending a year in the studio writing and producing during covid lockdown, on August 6th 2021 came the release of their 4th album, "In A Shattered Mirror" via Cleopatra Records. The band declined all interviews around this time due to mourning the loss of multiple family members from COVID-19, as well as being new parents.
2023 has seen Xentrifuge out of hibernation with a barrage of shows and a new single, self-released "T.O.Y.S." .
Xentrifuge brings high energy and ravenous presence to the stage and infects the crowd with a raw, relentless, yet unique package for fans of the dance-floor and mosh-pit alike!

Xentrifuge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every hour brings new pain.
Systems die, prayers of hope pass us by.
Evolution will remain.
Untold lies, with every dream senses die.
Suffering will sustain.
Immunized, terminal symptoms rise.
Evolution calls your name.
Shutdown.
We heal these wounds through desecration.
Veins run dry.
Forced out.
We pray for sorrows next creation.
Death is our evolution.
Life deprived, vital systems soon die.
Every hour brings new pain.
Nuetralized, twisted souls now disguised.
Evolution will remain.
Tool of lies, sense embrace your demise.
Suffering will sustain.
Shattered signs, all that's left in these eyes.
Evolution calls your name.
Death is our evolution
The lyrics to Xentrifuge's song Evolution describe a dystopian world where life is characterized by constant pain and suffering, and death is the only escape. The singer tells of a society built on falsehoods, where hope and belief are empty promises and dreams fade into nothingness. As the systems that hold this society together begin to break down, the only constant is evolution, the force that continues to drive life forward despite the agony and despair that surrounds it. This evolutionary process is portrayed as brutal and uncompromising, leaving the casualties of the world behind as it moves on to create something new.
The lyrics suggest a profound sense of nihilism and despair, with the singer resigned to the inevitability of death and driven to embrace it as the only way to escape the suffering of their existence. There is a sense that even our most deeply held beliefs and hopes are fleeting, and that the only lasting truth is the evolutionary force that lies at the heart of everything.
