Static-X usually get lumped in with the nu steel motion of the early 2000s, however they declare they match in additional with industrial bands.
In actual fact, even again of their heyday the band tried to keep away from the nu steel moniker by creating their very own descriptor for his or her music, “evil disco.” In latest interview with Sense Music Media, bassist/vocalist Tony Campos gave some extra particulars about how they felt:
“Yeah, we did emerge in that scene. However to me, that ‘nu steel’ label, for higher or for worse, for me, it was all the time related to that rap-rock form of factor, with the hip-hop affect. And none of us had been massive hip-hop followers, and that didn’t actually make it into the Static-X sound. So for us, it was form of, like, we acquired lumped into that class, however I don’t know that we had been essentially in that class.
“We had been making an attempt to tear off Ministry and Prong [laughs]; we simply wished to be extra industrial period. The opposite factor that basically influenced us was that entire electronica motion that was occurring at the moment—Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, these form of acts had been massive influences on us too, significantly the Spawn soundtrack that had these collaborations with electronica artists and steel acts and rock acts. That was an enormous affect on us, too.”
Lately, nu-metal has seen a resurgence of recognition amongst metalheads, however so has industrial, and it seems like Static-X could be extra snug getting lumped in with the latter.
