Ahead of the 25th Anniversary Edition of their landmark debut ‘Wisconsin Death Trip,’ industrial metal heavyweights Static-X unveil a new visualizer for bonus track “Down.” The piece fuses lyric-video elements with motion graphics built from never-before-seen images by original band photographer Exum, alongside footage filmed during the 1998 album photoshoot.
“We’ve always known there were gems buried in the Wisconsin Death Trip archives, but seeing Exum’s images come to life in this new visualizer feels like stepping back into 1998,” the band share. “‘Down’ was a track we always loved and giving it this new visual energy is our way of celebrating Wayne, the album, and the fans who have kept this music alive for 25 years.”
Originally released in 1999, ‘Wisconsin Death Trip’ introduced the classic lineup of Wayne Static, Koichi Fukuda, Tony Campos, and Ken Jay, delivering staples like “Push It,” “I’m With Stupid,” and “Bled for Days.” The anniversary Corrosive Edition features remastered audio by original producer Ulrich Wild and an expanded second disc of demos and rarities, alongside immersive packaging built from hundreds of rediscovered archival images.
