New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Platinum selling, International recording artists STATIC-X have released a new music video for the song "Dead Souls," from their 7th studio album, PROJECT REGENERATION Volume 1, Out NOW. The video was directed by Wombatfire (HELLYEAH, In Flames, Hollywood Undead, Tech 9) and the song features guest vocals from Ministry's Al Jorgensen.
"This song has become one of my favorite tracks on the record. We had no intention on doing a video for it initially, but it came out so good, we had to do it. I'm so grateful to Al Jourgensen for singing on the track with Wayne. Ministry was a big influence on us, and I know Wayne would've been just as stoked as I am to have Al sing on one of our records. I think the video fits the song really well. It's dark, creepy, with just a touch of humor." - TONY CAMPOS

Early Praise for PROJECT REGENERATION VOL. 1:
"One of the best releases of their career" - Loudwire
"Every track is hard hitting, gritty, industrial metal at its finest. Considering that Project Regeneration Vol. 1 was pieced together from demos, it really is a commendable effort. What could seem like a cash grab is far from it. The album is a fully fleshed collection that properly cements Wayne's legacy." - Consequence of Sound
"The signature sound of that metallic, disco thumping, modern metal 1-2 punchy dance beat is well placed in almost every track on here, it really is the best of what
Static-X is." - 8/10 - The Rockpit
"There are absolutely no negative views about this album. It's a masterpiece, every single track we've listened to, we've been headbanging, singing along and just imagining what it would be like to witness this madness live on stage." - Rock Lifestyle UK
"Static-X has proved regeneration is not only possible, but thrilling and monumental." - Brutal Planet Magazine

"'Hollow', 'Terminator Oscillator' and 'All These Years' deserve to be placed in any playlist of the Californians and this is no small feat." - -CORE
