Sick of all the rap-metal crap?  Static-X has the cure to what ills heavy music today. If “Wisconsin Death Trip” made you a fan of Static-X, “Machine” will more than live up to your expectations. Their brand of in your face metal follows in the tradition of Pantera meets White Zombie and leaves the great pretenders that are all the rage in Malls across America in their wake.  What sets Static-X apart from other heaviest of the heavy metal brigade is their use of machine-like rhythms and samples. While others have tried to use this formula to bad results, Static-X uses these “technical” aspects to add a flavor to the music and it works well for them.  Although they use sampling and industrial beats a little more extensively on “Machine” Static-X still delivers in the area where it counts the most – high-octane rock-n-roll. 

From the opening track – “Get To The Gone” all the way through the final song, “A Dios Alma Perdida” Static-X grabs the listener by the throat and releases a relentless metal assault to the eardrums the may cause many to bang their heads against the wall into a bloody pulp!  Yeah you could go off and listen to those rap-core bands but if you want the genuine article buy this CD!

this cd makes me wanna go to a vampire club.


Posted by trumetal:
Static-x has sold out. The first album was heavy as hell and full of head-banging energy...but this cd is repetitive and catchy enough to see some serious radioplay...But they should have been as heavy as they were on wisconsin death trip.


Posted by Shayn:
I'm surprised the "Black" Rave, or the "Evil" Rave, never caught on. This is excellent music. I bought it expecting another Wisconsin Death Trip, and was treated to a more evolved Static-X. Bravo for them. The only problem was it took me awhile to be able to listen to it as a metal album, and not a Industrial album. The first track is the easiest to listen, out of it's sheer heaviness mixed with the industrial beats.


Posted by PFC Lyon:
Static-X is simply untouchable. They are exactly what some of you said, metal that you can dance to. This "dance-metal" is nothing bad, it's what sets them apart from the rest of the metal world. None of their stuff is over complicated to play, it's just stuff you can slam to. Evil Disco if you will. I say keep it up!


Posted by Sk8bordPunk:
I baught this CD a year ago and Its still in my cd player! this record is they're best!


Posted by Massive:
madrox I agree with wes, Slipknot is getting kind of old, all you hear is coby bitching and moaning about BS, Static X will always rule, the industrial and Neo metal bands are pushing through this rap core/ metal rap bull$hit faze. get over it and quit being such a dick head about it.


Posted by madrox420:
yeah WES STATIC-X DOES KICK A$$. BUT I'M A SLIPKNOT FAN YOU F%CKING DICK SMOKER


Posted by Wes:
Static X will always be a kick ass band and whoever says otherwise has to be a dope fan or even worse a Slipknot fan. By the way, Trip Esisen makes it even better, he haul's major a$$ in his guitar. The new album is fuxing Awesome...


Posted by Roxanne:
Wayne Static is like the wickedest singer ever . .. but why did they get a new bassist??



Posted by pop star threat:
Static-x kicks a*s. i saw them when they opened for pantera. new songs totally kill. can't wait to see them again.


Posted by Vicious:
i agree with The Man..what exactly is "selling out"?? if you didn't like this new album then just listen to "..Death Trip" all day long, stop your whining...


Posted by The man:
Oh I'm just sick those stupid people saying "aaah I don't like Static-X because it is dance with guitars, oooh boy the bands I like never sold out". Where do they exactly "sell out"? What is "sell out", anyway? If selling out is just mixing metal with something else, then I LOVE bands that "sell out".
