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.

Event organization, bar, merch place and event itself was great. I enjoyed the evening. Thanks.
Show was great top to bottom! Static-X, Dope, Sevendust, and LoL put on 1 hell of a show.
So I paid for a ticket on the balcony, don’t remember what they call it, but had amazing view, got there a bit later so I could get there before sevendust got on, was able to sit around by the bar and wait for a while, amazing set up and extremely happy I was able to chill after a long day and then go see a show, the show was 100% worth it, the seating was great except it felt a little off but not bad enough for me to be bothered by it the whole time, the sound and the lighting was great, I hope I get to come back to see a show here again, this venue is definitely better than any other one I’ve gone to, so no complaints from me!
I enjoyed watching the bands. I liked how Static X had different giant figures walking around the stage. Also kind of cool how the band had giant beach balls in the crowd.
House of Blues Anaheim Venue staff were awesome and the venue itself was fantastic!
Kickass show and excellent venue! Plenty of refreshment stands available that kept wait times low. Bands were great as expected and would love to come to shows at this place more often.
This was my first time seeing this bands and it was a really fun show can’t wait to see them live again
I honestly went for Sevendust I’m familiar with Static X, but they don’t get heavy rotation on my playlist. That changed this night as Static X absolutely tore the roof off. One of the better shows I’ve seen, highly recommend if you’re a fan of either band.
Xerox left stage and everyone made small talk with the crowd. Reminiscing about Wayne. Then after a while, Xerox returned and they performed a final song, no encode. As we were leaving, EMT's were entering with a wheeled seat/stretcher. I haven't read anything about it in news feeds.
Sound was good. security were nice. venue had good sound
I had heard Static-X songs on Turbo station but didn’t know what to expect seeing them live. They put on an amazing show. I was impressed with all their effects and lighting. I would definitely recommend seeing them. They are a great band and very entertaining. They attract a very diverse crowd of many ages. I would see them again if back in my area. Had a great time at the show!
Sevendust was great they should have been the headliner Static - x was ok not a headlining band those days are long gone but then again they never a headlining band in my opinion
Great experience except for the Sevendust’s painfully loud sound. Static X were the best.
It was awesome to see Koichi , Tony , and Ken playing together again ! I am sure Wayne is looking down from the sky smiling.
Got to 2nd row, great show! Bands were awesome and engaged the crowd! I went to see Sevendust, but was pleasantly surprised with Static-X
Lots of fun!! Great venue & awesome experience! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Huge fan of both bands and 7D has never disappointed in any venue at any time. Most underrated band in metal! Static-X I am not sure if Edsel doing double duty is too much anymore but damn he just walked through the motions and had no energy. It was the second time seeing this and I am 50/50 for a great show. This was weak and felt forced.
More than 20 years since I saw them for the first time with the late great Wayne Static, and they were just as amazing. Its not the same without Wayne, but they are so awesome. I will see them every time they come. One of the best shows I have seen....and I go to way to many concerts.
Loved every minute of the 5 hour extravaganza. Planning on going to see same show in a different city. Do not miss this show. Take a trip to see this concert and you will always consider it one of your favorites in lifetime. OMG.
Awesome show!!! Start to finish. Great line up!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
