Static-X have revealed the first full song from their long-awaited upcoming record, Project Regeneration Volume 1, which is due out on May 29.
Titled 'Hollow', the new track features some of the last vocal recordings of Wayne Static, who passed away in 2014.
The band's masked touring vocalist Xer0 isn't present in the accompanying video, with Wayne being represented by an animatronic skull with spikes protruding from its head in the same fashion as Wayne's iconic hairstyle.
Have a watch:
Bassist Tony Campos said of the recording process:
"It was very surreal - our producer was going through all of these old studio tapes, many of which were damaged. He called me up and told me that I needed to get down to the studio right away and listen to what he found. I jumped in my car and raced to the studio, and what he shared fucking blew me away. It was Wayne singing on track after track, but there was little to no music on any of it. Most of the tapes were damaged and Waynes voice was virtually all that remained intact."
