Machine

Machine is the second studio album from the American industrial metal band Static-X, released on May 22, 2001 on the Warner Bros label and recorded at Studio 508 (Los Angeles, California). It is the album in which Tripp Eisen contributed guitars. When compared to the band's other albums, Machine features a lot more electronics and industrial effects, and much more screamed vocals from Wayne Static (as opposed to the use of clean vocals sprinkled around other albums, and "Cold" had the use of clean vocals). Machine in some ways can be viewed as the bands darkest album; songs like "Permanence", "Cold" and the title track "Machine" have a darker more intense feel to them than any on the previous album Wisconsin Death Trip. The song "Black and White" provided the album's first single and music video, and later a second single would be found in "This Is Not". The song "Cold" also had a video made for it, and tied in with the film Queen of the Damned. It was featured on the aforementioned film's soundtrack album, as was the exclusive "Not Meant for Me", performed by Wayne Static. The song "Anything but This", a bonus track from the Japanese version, is also found on the Resident Evil soundtrack.
