Tunelab reports that "Stingwray" will be the first single off of Static-X's sixth album, Cult Of Static, which comes out March 17th. Add date for the track is February 14th.
Honestly, I'm really looking forward to this. I thought Static took a downward turn with Shadow Zone, but picked back up for Start A War, and Cannibal was decent enough.
Tracklist!
01. “Lunatic” (ft. Dave Mustaine) 02. “Z28″ 03. “Terminal” 04. “Hypure” 05. “Tera-Fied” 06. “Stingwray” 07. “You Am I” 08. “Isolaytore” 09. “Nocturnally” 10. “Skinned” 11. “Grind 2 Halt”

Never could get in to these guys. They're not terrible, just not for me I guess. I'll give the new stuff a chance but I doubt it'll really resonate with me based on past experience.

Tunelab reports that "Stingwray" will be the first single off of Static-X's sixth album, Cult Of Static. These guys are way too prolific for my level of interest. Wisconsin Death Trip was fantastic (I'm gonna pull it out to listen to in the car tomorrow, now that I'm thinking about it), Machine (which I bought the first week out) was good, and I still haven't gotten around to listening to my burned copies of Shadow Zone and Start a War that I've had for almost three years now. And honestly, when you said "sixth" album, I thought you, for some reason, were counting their b-sides record. I had forgotten all about Cannibal already. As great as Wisconsin Death Trip was, it bums me out that I haven't been able to keep up with their career and that I don't even hear all their singles anymore, necessarily. With a bunch of free Pepsi Points last month, I did legally download a copy of their Burton C. Bell-assisted cover of "Burning Inside," though. :) (But it's not like it would have been hard to find a copy of their b-sides record to download.)

This song reminds me a lot of the title-track from the last album, which I liked more than most of their songs. This one's up there too. I also really liked "Cold" and "The Only."

I think what I don't like about it is that it doesn't really have a very strong chorus or anything. It's just there, like a lot of Static-X songs. Which is a shame because they've had some really solid tracks in the past, but most of them have never been singles either. It seems like they always go for the most empty devoid tracks to put on radio, and that's what kills them.

And now having listened to the actual album, I think Static-X needs some time off. I've never said this about any band before, but this is a band that's at the end of their creative rope. None of these songs have any kind of hook or anything interesting about them at all. It's like Static-X said to the fans, here, we're putting an album out, and we're naming it after you, because you are the only reason we have to put an album out at this point. And it shows.
