STATIC X
WISCONSIN DEATH TRIP
ALBUM WARNER RELEASE: SPRING 1999 REVIEW: MAY 22, 1999

No wonder the term "industrial" has been so infected when there are bands like Static-X. They are four oh-so-angry, grungy looking, bearded young men, who have probably been spoonfed with testosterone since the day they were born. Their music is absolute crap: a tiresome mixture of metal riffs, aggressive vocals, and clichéed voice samples. They sound like White Zombie without either songs or brains. Basically pure metal, but the record company tries to label them industrial due to their use of cheap samples.
