In total,
"Project Regeneration" volumes one and two will consist of more than 20 brand new or previously unreleased
STATIC-X songs and will feature all of the remaining works left behind by
Wayne Static, along with the original
"Wisconsin Death Trip" band lineup. The individual albums are expected to contain creative packaging elements that will allow fans to marry the two volumes together.
Last year,
STATIC-X wrapped up a world tour comprised of nearly 100 mostly sold-out dates in celebration of the 20th anniversary of its platinum-selling debut album
"Wisconsin Death Trip". The shows also served as a traveling memorial for
Wayne, who passed away more than five years ago.
While the identity of
STATIC-X's touring singer
Xer0 has not been officially revealed, strong rumors suggest that
DOPE frontman
Edsel Dope is the one performing with
Jay,
Fukuda and
Campos and appearing in all of
STATIC-X's promotional videos.
Static died after mixing Xanax and other powerful prescription drugs with alcohol, according to the coroner's report. The 48-year-old
Static, whose real name was
Wayne Richard Wells, was found dead in his Landers, California home on November 1, 2014.
Static founded
STATIC-X in 1994 and achieved commercial success with
"Wisconsin Death Trip", which included the rock radio hit
"Push It".
The group issued five more studio albums before disbanding permanently in June 2013.
Static had been pursuing a solo career at the time of his death.
