That's a shame. I haven't listened to his stuff in a long time, but I have great memories of Static-X, I really liked their first 3 albums when I was a kid.

Much sadness. RIP. Isn't it the same day Mitch Lucker died two years ago? Crazy coincidences

Is the band worth checking out? Figured I should pay my respects in some manner

Do we even know yet if it were illegal drugs or prescription drugs/painkillers? If it were an overdose at all?

what's really funny is that I grew up in Otsego, MI, and my mom's job is basically to help revive the town and stimulate
economic growth and other "main street america" principles (Wayne's fixation on Otsego was because of how boring and
depressing how he found the town, so it's kind of ironic). It's really not that bad here guys, come on.

Because they want to be respectful but it sounds like he died of a drug overdose.
