Eisen made Campos aware of the three fully completed, mixed and mastered extra songs from the Start a War album.

[12] Some tapes also included guitars and programming; one of them, entitled "Turn It On", was eventually reworked into "Terminator Oscillator".

Eisen has publicly claimed a new song is on the album ("Road to Hell", now titled "My Destruction") and additional previous compositions with Static beyond the three that are credited.

[21] On October 23, 2018, the bassist Tony Campos, lead guitarist Koichi Fukuda and drummer Ken Jay announced that they were reforming to tour for the 20th anniversary of Wisconsin Death Trip and would release Project Regeneration, featuring compositions and vocals recorded before Static's death in 2014.

Along with the announcement, the band shared a trailer for the album featuring clips from an upcoming music video and snippets of five previously unreleased songs.

The band later replaced the instrumental tracks underneath the vocals under the advice from the producers to avoid resembling the original demo material.

Reviewers also noted the late Static's presence on the record, writing that "despite the breakup and the very founder's death Static-X is still a Wayne Static project through-and-through",[30] and "although a fair amount of the music was re-written or heavily re-worked by the surviving band members, Wayne's sheer talent still clearly shines through".

[29] Concluding the review for AllMusic, Neil Z. Yeung claimed that "Respectfully done, Project: Regeneration Vol.

Through this cathartic process, the album serves as a love letter to Static and their loyal fan base, a respectful tribute that both honors his legacy and adds an unexpected new chapter to their discography.
