I'm currently on holiday in Vancouver, Canada and this Wednesday I'll be heading down to Tacoma, Washington to check out the 'Extreme Steel Tour' featuring Pantera, Slayer, Static X, Morbid Angel and Skrape. I thought this would be my only chance to see Static X but it seems they will be in Melbourne after all.....
Static X describe their sound as death disco or evil disco, I have been into their stuff for a while now and just bought their second album, Machine. It's definitely nu metal but I really like it. Techno metal also springs to mind when trying to describe their sound.
I can't wait to see Machine Head in Australia. I actually thought The Burning Red was a lot better than the first two albums and showed definite progression and experimentation.... I hope they continue down that track on the new album, Supercharger. I think Ahrue Luster is a far more versatile player than Logan Mader too.
