- Alternative Press (p.137) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The band supplement their trademark chunky riffs with gloom-punk drone, ominous 'Hell's Bells'-style atmosphere and squiggly electro-interludes" [!]
Celebrating a decade of innovative and chaotic metal, Static-X returns with its sixth studio release, CULT OF STATIC, a collection of tight, aggressive, and bitter anthems. Kicking off with a revamped version of "Lunatic" (first heard on the PUNISHER: WAR ZONE soundtrack), with a special guitar solo by Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, STATIC instantly draws the listener into a cybernetic firestorm. And with tracks like the ferocious "Terminal" and the poignantly droning "Hypure," it's clear that Static-X remains one of the most riveting acts in the business. Once again working with producer John Travis (Kid Rock, Buckcherry, Suicide Silence), who also produced 2007's CANNIBAL, Static-X proves that brutal music still has mass appeal.
