 (5 Customer Reviews)
Static-X: Koichi Fukuda, Wayne Static (guitar); Tony Campos (bass guitar); Nick Oshiro (drums).
A reinvigorated Static-X welcome original guitar slinger Koichi Fukuda back into the fold with the unleashing of CANNIBAL (the metal quartet's fifth full-length for Warner Brothers). Urgent industrial grooves clash with brutally grooving riffs, making CANNIBAL a return to form for the group. After a foray into a somewhat more melodic vocal approach for START A WAR (2005) and SHADOW ZONE (2003), vocalist/rhythm guitarist Wayne Static's beloved angst-ridden style dominates on "Chroma-Matic," "Reptile," and others. And the band's self-proclaimed "evil disco" side shines on "Behemoth" and "Electric Pulse," while Fukuda's guitar-hero soloing keeps things decidedly metal.
Nearly danceable industrial thrash unit Static-X returns to the heavy-hitting attack of their Wisconsin Death Trip debut on Cannibal, their fifth offering. Like "Jesus Built My Hotrod"-era Ministry without the snarky humor, Cannibal finds the Midwest-bred quartet mining the usual themes of death, drink, sex, and hate, but this time around the sparse arrangements, throat-shredding vocals, and occasional flourishes of disco jet fuel feel less contrived than on previous outings. Sure, there's nothing here that any fan of White Zombie, Korn, and Slipknot hasn't already ingested a hundred times, but tracks like "Goat," "Destroyer," the sinewy title cut, and "No Submission" -- the latter appeared on the Saw 3 soundtrack -- bristle with a refreshing sense of "f*ck it" that keeps things from spiraling into the self-absorbed tar pit that makes dinosaur bones out of so many similar acts. [Cannibal is also available in a "clean" version that spares the listener the emotional trauma of dealing with words such as "bullshit" and "crap." There is also a limited collector's edition that features the bonus cuts "Light It Up" and "I'm The One (Wayne Static's Disco Destroyer Remix)."] ~ James Christopher MongerAlternative Press (p.155) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he relentless riffs and pummeling drums, leavened with occasional dashes of electronics, perfectly soundtrack the first-person shooter video game playing in your head."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.47) - "Leaner and decidedly heavier than their recent efforts, CANNIBAL shows a band moving with the times, consciously upping the metal ante..." Cannibal Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   Another great album by Static-X!
This is a great album. It's got some songs on it that seem a little unpolished and rushed and kinda lame, but the ones that rock...truly ROCK, and more than make up for the stinkers! The best songs on here are Cannibal, Behemoth, Destroyer, Chroma-Matic and Electric Pulse. These songs are so good that you'll find yourself listening to them over and over again. I rate it 5 stars.

Yes! Finally! Industrial Rather Than Nu Metal!
Finally, I see traces of Wisconsin Death Trip in Static-X's new stuff! I had almost given up on their new material. Experimental and industrial once again rather than that nu metal sound. This is definately a step in the right direction. Their nu metal sound just didn't work for old fans.. it attracted new fans and gained radio air play but let down fans of wisconsin death trip. This is a step in the right direction.

Cannibal

Static-X: Koichi Fukuda, Wayne Static (guitar); Nick Oshiro (drums); Tony Campos (background vocals).
Static-X's 2003 album Shadow Zone was a mess. Trying too blatantly to match wits with Korn and searching blindly for depth in electronics and processed drums, it tried desperately to expand on the sound of Machine and Wisconsin Death Trip, and that flawed ambition was its biggest problem. The early material was grating and one-dimensional, but it had a certain primal flair for the very same reasons -- songs were really an afterthought in the face of its blistering howl. Frontman Wayne Static seems to have figured that out with 2005's Start a War, and he's aided by the thick and hoary tone of original guitarist Koichi Fukada, who's rejoined the fold after the forced departure of Tripp Eisen. (This is also the band's first recording with former tour-only drummer Nick ...

| | Modus CD (2002)
Cannibal
$9.35
The reasons why we make music are infinite. The noise the four of us create as Modus is the product of four different backgrounds and four different sets of circumstances. But our most basic common bond is having grown up in the cultural black hole that is central New York State. Although it sounds like an unlikely source of creativity, we have found quite the contrary to be true. In fact, it has proven fertile ground for frequent daydreaming and countless attempts at crafting a good song. Since the inception of Modus in early 2001, it has been our intent to present a diverse and substantial musical alternative to the usual three chord teen anthem, and to provide a catalyst for listeners who seek to explore deeper waters than rock radio typically offers. Whether or not we have been successful is your decision.The Philosophy...Individually, our influences originate from a broad spectrum of styles and tastes. Modus prefers to avoid being pigeonholed into any one style of music, and instead would like to be thought of as simply a group of like-minded musicians. But when forced to label our music, we call it "picture music." We hope our music takes you on a distinctive and intense journey-a journey that is colored with light and darkness, leaving you strangely unsettled somewhere in between. It is not the destination that is important, but the time spent on the trip. To whom we connect with and listen to for musical inspiration is not as important as who connects with and listens to us. What people identify with and can draw upon in the music of Modus is what is most important, not imitating a current popular trend or cashing in on the latest wave of pop culture style.The Music...Musically, Modus writes its material as a unit. Individual ideas may come to the fore, but they must pass through the filters of each member before becoming a piece of the puzzle. In the end, everyone's contributions and performances are equally fundamental to the development and completion of the song. We are committed to composing music that is interesting and unexpected, yet not pretentious or confusing. We are seeking not to exclude, but rather to include as many different listeners from as many different musical backgrounds as we can. By forming a hybrid between "old school" philosophies (musicianship, songwriting, performance) and "new school" philosophies (technology, experimentation, atmosphere), we believe we have created a unique sound that does not and will not lend itself to any one particular genre. This allows our artistic freedom to flourish, and perhaps enables us to broaden the horizons of some of the listening public who may not very often be exposed to groups such as ours.The EP...The five songs on our self-titled EP are our first attempt at stating our artistic perspective. Headphones are highly recommended. This is not music to be listened to at birthday parties ...
| | Dawn Of Azazel Sedition CD (2006) Enhanced CD
Cannibal
$9.69
Dawn of Azazel: Martin Cavanaugh, Nigel Walshe, Joe Bennett.
New Zealand metal warlords Dawn of Azazel's second full-length, SEDITION, pummels like a battering ram from the outset and never lets up. For extreme metal, however, this stateside reissue never quite measures up to some its contemporaries. While the blistering rhythm section keeps the mathy structures at category-five intensity, the general lack of song craft and sense of its own absurdity--an essential ingredient in all the best metal--limits SEDITION's overall impact. Nonetheless, DOA fans will find much to love here.
It's difficult for non-fans of the genre to understand ...
