Static-X
Start A War

Latest work from the trash band coming from Wisconsin.

The album is a sound blend of trash and death metal. The album flows as violently as few others in its genre, with influences from Pantera and Slayer in the riffs, and vocally reminiscent of Sepultura.

In 2005, after the arrest of Tripp Eisen for pedophilia, they released the album "Start the War." The album is a fusion of Shadow Zone and their first brutal album "Wisconsin Death Trip" when they were still making brutal metal.
The most representative songs are the opening "The Enemy," which unleashes all the hatred for Tripp Eisen and ends with the words: "I hate you," "Start the War" used for Smackdown vs. Raw, "Skinman," "I'm Not One," a brutally raw song, and "Adios Amigos."

This album is certainly not a masterpiece, but it's a fusion of the trash metal of Shadow Zone and the brutal death of Wisconsin Death Trip—a good album overall. The four maniacs churn out without missing a beat, always renewing their trash.

I would like to conclude by saying to Tripp Eisen: Tripp Eisen, you're such a fool for getting yourself kicked out of an extraordinary group. I hope you understand. Until next time.
