Meriam Manual Static

Project: Regeneration Vol. 1 is the seventh studio album by American industrial metal band Static-X, released on July 10, 2020[8] by Otsego Entertainment Group, distributed by The Orchard Music, a subsidiary of Sony Music. It is the band's first studio album in eleven years following Cult of Static (2009), and their first album not on Warner Bros. or Reprise Records. The album features part of the last recordings of deceased front man Wayne Static, who died in 2014, with his role being filled by a new front man credited as "Xer0". Project Regeneration sees the return of the original Static-X lineup—bassist Tony Campos, guitarist and programmer/keyboardist Koichi Fukuda and drummer Ken Jay—and was produced by Ulrich Wild, who has produced and/or mixed all but two albums by the band in the past.

Arriving four years after Static-X's big 2020 comeback, Project Regeneration, Vol. 2 is another satisfying assault of frantic "evil disco" - really just hopped-up industrial metal - from the surviving members of the band and the mysterious masked vocalist Xer0 (whose identity most fans have figured out already). Purported to be comprised of late frontman Wayne Static's final vocals and compositions left in the vault, the set was produced by Xer0 and mixed/mastered by Ulrich Wild. While Vol. 1 played on the nostalgia for the one-two punch of their most well-received albums, 1999's Wisconsin Death Trip and 2001's Machine, Vol. 2 digs into more muscular fare, echoing the band's more brutish aughts output like Shadow Zone and Start a War…

Shadow Zone is the third album by the band Static-X, released on October 7, 2003. Marked by many personnel and stylistic changes, the album sports a much more melodic sound than any other work in their catalog, while still staying in the confines of their industrial metal and nu metal sound. It was the only album to feature drummer Josh Freese and the first of two albums to feature guitarist Tripp Eisen.
