Static-X will release a new album entitled Project Regeneration, featuring the last recordings of the band's late front man Wayne Static in 2019. The group's original lineup - bassist Tony Campos, drummer Ken Jay and guitarist Koichi Fukuda will be featured on the album and in the music videos.

Static-X bassist Tony Campos, "Matt did an amazing job with the video. He put in a lot of love and effort into it, and the end results show it. A great pleasure working with him, and look forward to future collaborations."

It should come to no surprise that director Matt Zane (John 5, Wednesday 13, Zakk Wylde, DOPE) was contacted to assist in creating the new videos considering he directed the final three videos for Wayne Static before his passing.

"I received the call to co-direct as well as be the Director of Photography and couldn't believe it was happening until we were on set. It was very surreal. I hadn't seen the rest of the band in years. Being able to work with them and share old stories from back in the day was so cool. My band Society 1 and Static X used to cross paths touring as far back as the late 90's. Even before that we were all on the local scene in Hollywood," says Zane.

Zane even unearthed out-takes of Wayne for the video. "I really wanted to actually get Wayne in there visually so it was the four of them back together again not only musically but visually. I had to find out-takes from previous videos Wayne and I did then go through a process called rotoscoping in order to place him in the new videos. Extremely detailed and long process but completely worth the effort."

As you can witness from the teaser that was released the result is the feeling that the original band is together one more time. "It was amazing getting to work with the band and it felt as if I was able to get to work with Wayne one more time. To be able to come in and pay my respects and help Wayne finish his final offerings for all the fans was an incredible experience."

Matt Zane and his band Society 1 are managed by Music Gallery International and is currently finishing a new album entitled Black Level Six as well as video projects for John 5 (Rob Zombie) and many more.

Static-X is back! Featuring the band's original lineup introduced on their 1999 platinum-selling debut full-length album, Wisconsin Death Trip, bassist Tony Campos, guitarist Koichi Fukuda and drummer Ken Jay have joined forces once again to release a new album, Project Regeneration.

The album, set for release in spring 2019, will be released in conjunction with a world tour to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Wisconsin Death Trip. The band plans to perform the majority of their debut album at each show. Headline dates will serve as memorial events to honor late frontman Wayne Static, who passed away on November 1st, 2014. More information on the world tour and other dates will be coming soon.

The band has cultivated a treasure chest of vocal performances and musical compositions left behind by Wayne. Along with the help of Static-X's long-time producer Ulrich Wild, the band is in the process of completing their seventh studio album, which will feature between 12 and 15 brand new Static-X tracks.

"With the 20th anniversary of Wisconsin Death Trip quickly approaching, it feels like the right time to pay our respects to the band, to Wayne, and to all the fans who have been with us right from the start," says bassist Tony Campos. "We had a lot of material to work with... several demos that Wayne left behind, as well as some really great isolated vocal performances from some nearly finished songs. Together, we have been writing and crafting something very special!"

Check out a new teaser featuring clips from a brand new music video, as well as five new Static-X tracks - "Road To Hell", "Something Of My Own", "Terminator Oscillator", "Hollow" and "Disco Otsego" - along with a personal message from bassist Tony Campos about the inspiration behind Project Regeneration:

For the unfinished tracks, the band is inviting several of their friends to lend their voices for the completion of this very personal project.

"We have confirmed interest from our friends David Draiman, Ivan Moody, Al Jorgensen, Dez Fafara, Edsel Dope, Burton C Bell, and a few others," says Campos. "Unfortunately, due to everyone's crazy schedules, it is a little early to know how things will shake out. We are more than confident that the album will have some incredible guest vocalists, but it should be noted that it is still too early to count anyone in 100%."

The guest vocalist curation process is being led by none other than SiriusXM programming pioneer Jose Mangin, who is working alongside the band as one of the executive producers for Project Regeneration.

Static-X has created a pre-order campaign allowing fans who purchase Project Regeneration in advance to have their name appear in the liner notes of the new album. Additional special pre-order package options are also available, including Project Regeneration merch bundles and several old school Static-X merch items to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Wisconsin Death Trip.  Pre-orders are available here.

"This is a celebration of Static-X, Wisconsin Death Trip, Wayne Static, and all of our fans," adds Campos. "We are very excited about what we have created, so we wanted to involve the fans early, and in a campaign sort of way, so that they can participate with us and help to dictate some of the things that we do."

"Reuniting with the guys has been an amazing experience," says drummer Ken Jay. "It's been so much fun sharing stories and working on new music together. Obviously, it is bittersweet because we all miss Wayne and we wish that he was here with us, doing what he did best... Evil Disco..."

"I am so excited to play Static-X songs live again," says guitarist Koichi Fukuda. "The Static-X sound is so big and powerful live! I can't wait to play songs like 'Bled For Days', 'Push It' and 'I'm With Stupid' again."

Static-X plans to do multiple video updates and a series of Facebook Live chats over the next few months in order to keep the fans involved as the process continues to unfold.

"We feel very grateful that we have such a loyal fan base that misses the band, and misses Wayne, and I know that Wayne would appreciate all the heart and effort that we are putting into this," says Tony Campos. "I've had some very heartfelt discussions with Wayne's family about doing this. They were very touched by the amount of love and effort that we have put into this new album and they have given us their full support. Having the blessing of Wayne's family means the world to us!  I know in my heart that Wayne would be very proud!"

Stay tuned for more Project Regeneration and world tour details coming soon.
