Over three decades and numerous albums, industrial metal scene leaders Static-X are consummate survivors. Even after the untimely death of lead singer Wayne Static in 2014, the group has regenerated and continued to record new music while honoring the late frontman's legacy. Unlike their more straightforward '90s nu-metal counterparts, Static-X were heavily influenced by house music, blending influences like Pantera with the electronic stylings of Prodigy and the Crystal Method to define their sound.
Static-X were originally formed in 1994 after Wayne Static's former band, Deep Blue Dream (featuring a pre-Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan), broke up. Along with drummer Ken Jay and guitarist Emerson Swinford, Static relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles and the trio formed a band called DRILL. Swinford left the band and was replaced by Koichi Fukuda, and Static-X was born.
The band's first album came out in 1999 at the height of the nu-metal era. Wisconsin Death Trip contained the singles "Push It," "I'm With Stupid" and "Bled For Days." They played Ozzfest to support the album and released an EP, The Death Trip Continues, the following year.
Fukuda departed Static-X soon after, and in 2001 the band released their sophomore effort: Machine. The following year, Wayne Static's vocals were featured on the Queen Of The Damned: Music From the Motion Picture soundtrack ("Not Meant For Me," written by Korn's Jonathan Davis). Jay left the band shortly after, and in 2003 Static-X's third album, Shadow Zone, was released, featuring "The Only" and "So" as singles. Replacing Jay was former Seether drummer Nick Oshiro.
In 2004, Static-X released Beneath... Between... Beyond..., a collection of rarities and demos. The band released their fourth album, Start A War, in 2005 with "I'm the One" and "Dirthouse" released as singles. In 2007, Static-X shared a fifth album, Cannibal, which had music ("No Submission") featured on the Saw III soundtrack. Also in 2007, the band shared their exclusive Destroyer EP and toured on Ozzfest once more.
In 2009, the band released their fifth album, Cult Of Static. The album single "Lunatic" appeared on the soundtrack to Marvel's Punisher: War Zone. Oshiro left Static-X around this time and was replaced by touring drummer Will Hunt.
By the 2010s, the members of Static-X had split off to concentrate on separate projects, and Static toured with a solo band under the Static-X name. In 2013, the band announced that they were officially breaking up, though Static continued to play the band's material on tour as a solo act. In 2014, Static died at 48 ostensibly due to a long history of substance abuse, though officially his death was termed a natural one.
A few years after Static's death, the former band members reunited and began to parse through old unreleased demos. Composing new songs from that material resulted in Project Regeneration, which came out in two volumes, the first of which dropped in summer 2020. To support the album, the newly reformed Static-X toured with a new, masked frontman named "Xer0," who was rumored to be Edsel Dope of Dope. The band also released a single, "Hollow," which peaked in the Top 15 in the U.S. Dance/Electronic chart.
Catch Static-X on tour in a city near you.
great show definitely glad I went to see openers did great. dope opened up better than could have thought and seven dust followed up good have seen them with a better set though. static x closed even though wayne is gone good tributes and a great replacement singer hope to hear the same vibe in the future.
Sylvee was a great venue! All the bands really were good. Dope started it out! They did not disappoint! DMF Die was awesome and got the crowd pumped up for the rest of the night! Sevendust is a bit lighter than what I usually listen to for my go to music. But they were really good. They sounded great and were extremely professional. They have been around a long time and were true musicians. They played before Static X who is who I wanted to see. Their music is an go to for me! And they did not disappoint! They also provided an awesome performance and a great experience. The only other time I saw them Wayne was still alive. So I was not sure what to expect other than I knew I was going to hear some really great tunes! But the show was impressive! It was one of the best shows I ever saw. Great work to all the bands! So many great songs played. Since they were in Wisconsin I knew we would hear Wis Death Trip for sure. But Bled For Days, Terminator Oscillator, and Black and White were also some of my favorites. And to top off the night with Push It, that was awesome. All the bands did a great job and it was a great experience!
Amazing show! Electrifying, it didn’t stop. Their tribute to Wayne Static was emotional and perfect. 10/10, must see.
These guys put on an amazing show don't listen to the negative people that are mad about them having a new singer. I did the meet and greet after the show these guys are chill and I will definitely see them again the next time I have the chance
Saw Static-X at Brooklyn Bowl and it was an amazing concert! It was my wife's metal concert as well and she was head banging and moving. Static-X made her a fan of metal. Please come back to TN.
7Dust ahhhhhmazing as always. No gimmicks just pure joy of their craft. If you’ve never seen them you need to
Words cannot express the emotions and feelings that I was overcome with during the Static X set of the Machine Killer tour in Grand Rapids MI. Lines Of Loyalty, Dope, and SevenDust were all amazing and 100% on point with great sets and killer vibes. But the Static X set was something more! It truly felt like Wayne was there with us and made for an unforgettable evil disco experience. The Xero meet and greet Q&A after the show was equally extraordinary and unforgettable with several extra special VIPs in attendance, and many great Wayne stories were shared. This experience will truly carry a special place in soul for eternity. THANK YOU
The app was easily assemble for the ticket scanners to scan my tickets and all the bands were Really good!!
Had a great time because Rockso the Pit Clown was there getting the entire crowd involved. The only issue is I believe they may have either over sold or people from the mezzanine came down as the floor was very crowded.
We had the best time at the Sevendust/Static-X show! The bands were beyond some of the greatest I've seen. The venue and staff were extremely top notch. I highly recommend seeing these guys on their 2024 tour. We will most definitely be attending concerts at The Sylvee many more times in the near future!
