Early Praise for PROJECT REGENERATION VOL. 1:

“One of the best releases of their career” - Loudwire

“Every track is hard hitting, gritty, industrial metal at its finest. Considering that Project Regeneration Vol. 1 was pieced together from demos, it really is a commendable effort. What could seem like a cash grab is far from it. The album is a fully fleshed collection that properly cements Wayne’s legacy.” - Consequence of Sound

“The signature sound of that metallic, disco thumping, modern metal 1-2 punchy dance beat is well placed in almost every track on here, it really is the best of what Static-X is.” – 8/10 - The Rockpit

"There are absolutely no negative views about this album. It's a masterpiece, every single track we've listened to, we've been headbanging, singing along and just imagining what it would be like to witness this madness live on stage." - Rock Lifestyle UK

“Static-X has proved regeneration is not only possible, but thrilling and monumental.” - Brutal Planet Magazine

“A presentation that is without argument, a work that kicks off the second half of 2020 on a high note for the hard rock and metal community. One of the year’s top new hard rock/metal albums overall.” - Phil's Picks

“A must have for fans new and old.” - Metal Anarchy

“'Hollow', 'Terminator Oscillator' and 'All These Years' deserve to be placed in any playlist of the Californians and this is no small feat.” - -CORE

“As electric as it is emotional. “Project Regeneration Vol. 1” undoubtedly carries the essence of a true Static-X album in every imaginable way” - Sonic Perspectives

“A triumphant middle finger from the great ether. There are no weak tracks at all.” - 8/10 - Ghost Cult Magazine

“The band did an excellent job of combining old and new into a compelling album.” - 3.5/5 - Heavy Music HQ

"Static-X new album, Project Regeneration Vol 1. , is nothing short of amazing." - Music Existence

"Despite the fact this record sounds extremely novel, perching itself in the sonic vacuum of the early 00s, it’s acutely fleshed out, cohesive and more importantly, ferociously fun." - 3.7/5 - Sputnik Music

"A BRILLIANT, YET BITTERSWEET ALBUM" - 4/5 - DRIVETRIBE

New Official Release Date for Project Regeneration Vol. 1 July 10, 2020!!

Rescheduled Russia & Eastern Europe Tour Dates Announced!!

Platinum-selling International recording artists STATIC-X has released the official music video for "All These Years," the second single off of their upcoming album, Project Regeneration Vol. 1. The song features lead vocals by the legendary late front-man WAYNE STATIC. Directed by Xer0 and co-directed by MATT ZANE, the clip is a campy narrative set in the bedroom of a young WAYNE STATIC back in the 1970’s, who comes face to face with his future rock star self through his black and white television.

The band says that the idea was inspired by the song lyrics for “All These Years”

“It’s very challenging to represent someone in a music video, who is no longer alive, but that was something that we really wanted to do and I think it came out great” says drummer KEN JAY. “These are some of Wayne’s last works, so we really wanted to make this video all about him and to continue to celebrate his life and legacy. What better way to do that than through a fun, fictional story about how Wayne was inspired to become the legend that who he became through STATIC-X.”

The band's 7th studio album, Project Regeneration, was scheduled to be released on May 29th but has been slightly delayed due manufacturing shut downs from the Corona virus. The album will be available across all streaming platforms and physical CD on July 10 and vinyl on August 14, 2020.

"The album is 100% complete," says TONY CAMPOS. "We are just waiting for the manufacturing to resume. We have been given word that all is finally in production, so we are excited to get this out to the fans."

Fans can continue to pre-order / save Project Regeneration online right here.

STATIC-X 2020 tour dates have been rescheduled in Russia and Eastern Europe due to the CV shutdowns.

"Due to the current crisis the, European Summer tour will be postponed. We are working on rescheduling both festival and headline shows and hope to have news for you in the coming weeks."

Tour Dates:
09/12 @ Machine Shop - Flint, MI
09/18 @ Blue Ridge Rock Festival - Appomattox Park, VA
11/23 @ Glavclub - Moscow, RU

Project Regeneration (Volume 1) is the record that we have been promising for some time now. It is set for release on May 29, 2020. It is a full length album, containing 12 new tracks, most of which will feature lead vocals by Wayne Static.

Under normal circumstances, the next album would have simply had its own title and there would be no confusion. However, due to the fact this large collection of songs are the final works featuring Wayne, we wanted to release them under the same title.

Volume 2 is still in the process of being recorded and does not yet have a release date.

You will be able to pre order Volume 2 in the future, but please also understand that you are under NO obligation to purchase Volume 2. It is a totally separate release. We will share song clips and teasers for Volume 2 at the appropriate time. There are no additional changes to the existing pre-order.

Again, we appreciate everyone’s involvement and excitement around this very unique and special chapter of Static-X.

Below are some quotes from the band about how all of this transpired.

“We have been working on a lot of material over the last year and a half and while selecting the songs to move into the final mix phase, it became clear that there is just too much material and too little time for this to be a single album.” Says drummer Ken Jay.

“The last thing that we wanted to do was make the fans wait any longer.” Adds Tony Campos. “We also didn’t want to abandon the remaining material, because it is very close to being complete and we know that the fans are going to want to be able to hear and experience all of it. We also recognize that all of this music is part of the same body of work, which marks this very important chapter of STATIC-X, so it is only logical to release all of the music under the same banner, PROJECT REGENERATION.”

In total, PROJECT REGENERATION Volume 1 & 2 will consist of more than 20 brand new / unreleased Static-X songs and will feature all of the remaining works left behind by Wayne Static, along with the original Wisconsin Death Trip band lineup. The individual albums are expected to contain creative packaging elements that will allow fans to marry the 2 volumes together.

“Right now we are finalizing the mixes for the first batch of songs, which will appear on Volume 1, while we continue to finish up the tracking for the rest of the music, which will appear on Volume 2. Volume 1 will be released at the end of May and the goal is to release Volume 2 as soon as possible.” says Ken Jay.
