California “Evil Disco” titans Static-X recently announced their eighth studio album, Project Regeneration: Vol. 2, a collection of 13 brand-new songs featuring the final vocal performances and musical compositions of late frontman Wayne Static. The album is the second installment in a posthumous series that celebrates the legacy of Static and his epic work with the band.
Since Wayne’s passing in 2014, Static-X has kept his memory alive through tribute shows and special performances. Now they have gone one step further by preserving the last artistic visions of their former leader in this new collection of songs. With its release, fans will be able to experience these unique recordings that have been carefully crafted from decades of archival material left behind by Wayne himself.
Even more exciting. Static-X, recently announced their partnership with master costume prop maker Eddie Yang and his Deity Creative to help evolve the look for current live vocalist Xer0.
As Eddie Yang is a movie industry veteran known for his work on Hollywood blockbusters such as “Men In Black” (1996), “The Nutty Professor” (1996), “The Ring” (2002), “Iron Man” (2008), and James Cameron’s “Avatar” (2009). With this much extravagant talent showcased on the silver screen, Yang will indubitably be bringing forth an exciting new look to the latest live frontman of Static-X.
“I have always been a metal fan and have listened to Static-X since their first release Wisconsin Death Trip. I am honored to contribute to Wayne’s legacy and to work with the band on their incredible vision for evolving Static-X and Xer0 into something that is truly unique. This project finally combined my passion for character design and metal music into one big check-off the bucket list!” stated Eddie Yang.
“Eddie is a genius” replied Xer0. “We wanted to evolve the Xer0 character into a more cybernetic/robotic figure for the Rise Of The Machine Tour and Eddie absolutely fucking killed it!!!!!!!
“Eddie took the mask to a level that we never imagined possible, and we are so stoked with the result,” adds Tony Campos
“Project Regeneration: Vol. 2” is bound to be a powerful display of the creative collaboration between the four founding members of Static-X: Wayne Static, Tony Campos, Koichi Fukuda and Ken Jay. This collaborative effort has resulted in some incredible music that continues to influence music fans around the world. Through their shared experience, they have been able to create something unique and captivating beyond what any of them could have done alone. The album’s sound will hearken back to the classic Static-X glory days with a blend of metal, industrial and electronic rock, showcasing diverse musical styles from each artist as well as a common sense of unity throughout the whole project.
