Cannibal

by Static-X

Overview

Nearly danceable industrial thrash unit Static X return 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 "fuck 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."] ~ James Christopher Monger
