Start a War, the fourth studio album from Static-X, came out on Warner Bros. on June 14, 2005, and the Los Angeles industrial metal crew hadn't softened a bit. Wayne Static, the band's founder, frontman and rhythm guitarist, still bellowed over the machine-gun riffs, Tony Campos held down bass and backing vocals, and Nick Oshiro was on the drums.
Ulrich Wild had a hand at the desk, as producer or mixer, and it would be 15 years before he worked on another Static-X album, Project: Regeneration Vol. 1 in 2020. The sound is the one they'd been perfecting since Wisconsin Death Trip: cold, clanking programming locked to grinding guitars, with "I'm The One" and "Dirthouse" as the songs that broke through to the countdowns. A special edition came with a bonus DVD called X-Rated. It sits between Shadow Zone and Cannibal in their catalog.
