The band lineup was rounded out by bassist Tony Campos and guitarist/programmer Koichi Fukuda, who collectively inked a deal with Warner Bros Records. Static-X rose to fame with their 1999 platinum-selling debut album, Wisconsin Death Trip, and went on to release five more albums over the course of the next decade: Machine in 2001, Shadow Zone in 2003, Start A Warin 2005, Cannibal in 2007, and Cult Of Static in 2009. The band has sold more than 3 million albums in the US alone and has had multiple chart-topping radio singles. They have toured the world extensively and, to this day, maintain a reputation as one of the best live acts in heavy music. In 2012, the band took a break to pursue outside creative interests, and on Nov. 1, 2014, Wayne Static unexpectedly passed away. In 2018, the band announced that they were reforming to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their debut album. The reformed lineup of original members Tony Campos, Koichi Fukuda, and Ken Jay, backed by frontman Xer0, delivered acclaimed performances by fans and critics alike. The tour was a massive success, with sold-out shows around the world, proving that Static-X fans remain as committed to the band as ever before. The revitalized Static-X continues to make headlines with their sold-out touring and new music while keeping their signature Evil Disco sound alive.
