Static-X – Devildriver – Dope – Wednesday 13 – Raven Black: Live at Starland Ballroom
Static-X was one of the best bands to come out of the mid-late 1990s.

When Wayne Static died in 2014, it seemed like the band as an active entity would pass out of existence, although we’d always have the songs.

The creation of a new album of tracks featuring Wayne supported by the fans is just a bonus. This entire tour and album, both the idea of it and the execution of it witnessed on this night is a celebration and done with love and good intentions. Leave your cynicism at the door and prepare to throw down! Continue reading
