Warner Bros. sent "Black and White" out in 2001 as the first single from Machine, the second Static-X album, and it keeps the band's industrial metal cranked to maximum grind. Wayne Static, Tony Campos and Ken Jay share the writing credit, and Ulrich Wild handled the mix.
Len Wiseman directed the video, and it takes the album's title literally: one by one the members snap out of a hypnotic trance, start playing, and slowly turn into robots that look like they wandered off the set of the Terminator films.
