STATIC-X: Best Buy Version Of 'Cult Of Static' To Include MÖTLEY CRÜE Cover
February 28, 2009The Best Buy-exclusive version of STATIC-X's new album, "Cult of Static", which is scheduled for release on March 17 via Reprise Records, will feature two bonus tracks — "W.F.O." and a cover of MÖTLEY CRÜE's "Looks That Kill".
"Stingwray", the new video from the STATIC-X, can be viewed below. (Note: Video stream may not be available to some non-U.S. residents.) The track was inspired by frontman Wayne Static's wife, former adult film star Tera Wray, and the Corvette Stingray she drives. Elsehwere on the CD, the cybernetic stomp of "Hypure" and "You Am I" bludgeon, bruise and break with precise grooves, while the staccato riffs on "Terminal" crush through an unmistakable guitar tone. Guitarist Koichi Fukuda blazes through incendiary solos, while Tony Campos bolts down demonic bass lines and Nick Oshiro pounds out deadly rhythms. Wayne Static riffs pure violence and screams out his soul.
A song you may already be familiar with is "Lunatic" as it was included on the "Punisher: War Zone" movie soundtrack. Although "Lunatic" is relentless and raw, brandishing a ripping groove and an impenetrable barrier of guitars, the album cut was re-recorded to feature a solo by legendary MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine.
"I've been a huge MEGADETH fan for years," explains Static. "We've toured with them twice. Mustaine and I really hit it off on the road. His lead style is one of the most distinctive styles out there. There's something amazing about it. When you hear him solo, you know it's him."
