A video for "The Order of Chaos" was shot and received some airplay on MTV, and to promote the album, Xentrix went on tour with Tankard.

[5] After a hiatus and replacing Chris Astley with Simon Gordon and Andy Rudd on vocals and guitar respectively, Xentrix resurfaced in 1996 with their fourth album Scourge, the band once again took a different direction by adopting a slower groove metal sound.

The band broke up shortly after its release, citing the decline in popularity in the British metal scene as the reason.

[10] This was initially the full Shattered Existence lineup, but later in the year bassist Paul MacKenzie left, to be replaced by Chris Shires.

[16][17] In a June 2019 interview with Metal Crypt, guitarist Kristian Havard revealed that Xentrix had already begun writing the follow-up to Bury the Pain.

[18] By March 2021, the band had written and demoed at least twelve songs for their new album,[19] and announced that August they were in the studio recording it.

[21] In order to promote Seven Words, Xentrix (along with Whiplash and Artillery) supported Vio-lence on the European MTV Headbangers Ball Tour.
