Cult of Static

Cult of Static is the sixth and final studio album by industrial metal band Static-X, and was released on March 17, 2009 on the Reprise label. The album's first single "Stingwray" was released and made available on the band's MySpace page on February 17, 2009. The title is a reference to the die-hard fans who have supported the band for so long. Though "Lunatic" was the first single for the album, the song previously was released on the Punisher: War Zone soundtrack. The song is based partially on a warrior, similar to the Punisher character, and was re-recorded for the album to feature a guitar solo by Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine. The album was produced by John Travis, who also produced Static-X's previous album Cannibal. Cult of Static continues the band's use of guitar solos and the songs feature more samples and electronic sounds than the previous album, Cannibal. "Stingwray" is available on iTunes and on Static-X's Myspace. This is also the first Static-X album without a title track, and the second not to have one of the 'Otsego' songs on it.
