─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
Static-X's 2003 album Shadow Zone was a mess. Trying
too blatantly to match wits with Korn and searching
blindly for depth in electronics and processed drums,
it tried desperately to expand on the sound of Machine
and Wisconsin Death Trip, and that flawed ambition was
its biggest problem. The early material was grating and
one-dimensional, but it had a certain primal flair for
the very same reasons -- songs were really an
afterthought in the face of its blistering howl.
Frontman Wayne Static seems to have figured that out
with 2005's Start a War, and he's aided by the thick
and hoary tone of original guitarist Koichi Fukada,
who's rejoined the fold after the forced departure of
Tripp Eisen. (This is also the band's first recording
with former tour-only drummer Nick Oshiro.) From the
beginning, War lights into a guttural guitar strut over
refreshing live drumming and doesn't let up, masking
Static's laughably atrocious lyrics (keywords: destroy,
kill, hate, fall, terror, self-destruct) with an
unrelenting roar. Imagine the sewage wind flowing
though an abandoned subway line, or a thousand
first-person shooters cranked to full volume, and
that's the effect of "Enemy," "I'm the One," the
screeching "Start a War," and "Dirthouse." The latter
suffers from weird tattletale intonation in the vocal.
However, its harsh snare reports are brilliant, and the
billowing electronic throbs and sirens make it sound
like White Zombie idling at a starting line. It's not a
new sound, not anywhere near, and Start a War
inevitably falters. It can't survive on a diet of
enormous guitar tone alone. But at least Static-X is
having fun making this stuff, and in its best moments
the album is a raucous, hedonistic chortle, a crinkling
PVC lark, an industrial thrash waste valve blaring
deafening nothingness into the inky night sky.
