Ahead of next week’s release of the 25th Anniversary Edition of their landmark debut Wisconsin Death Trip, metal titans Static-X have unveiled a brand-new visualizer for the bonus track “Down.” The piece blends lyric-video elements, motion graphics built from never-before-seen images by original band photographer Exum, and actual video filmed on the set of the 1998 photoshoot. The photos—recently recovered from the archives of the 1998 album shoot—bring fresh visual context to a defining era in the band’s history. 

“We’ve always known there were gems buried in the Wisconsin Death Trip archives but seeing Exum’s images come to life in this new visualizer feels like stepping back into 1998,” the band shares. “‘Down’ was a track we always loved and giving it this new visual energy is our way of celebrating Wayne, the album, and the fans who have kept this music alive for 25 years.”
