Shadow Zone is the third studio album by American industrial metal band Static-X, released on October 7, 2003.

[2] As a remedy of this, Davis contacted a number of metal vocalists, Static included, to sing on the songs he had written.

[4] Static had felt anxiety in being able to recreate the success of the first album, and resented the band for not helping him work on the second while touring.

[5] The move led original guitarist Koichi Fukuda to leave the band, and left the rest of the members largely upset with Static.

[5] Eisen wrote around half of the material for the album,[5] though it was largely described by him as "a lot of collaborative efforts" between band members.

[7] Static enjoyed collaborating with Eisen in the sessions stating that his "punk rock attitude" was refreshing and brought a new approach and sound to the album; while Static typically was more of a "big picture" person, with this album, he let Eisen take control of many of the musical ideas while he focused more so on vocals.

[8] The band had amassed over 20 songs by March 2003, with five being revealed by name - "Shadow Zone", "The Only", "New Pain", "Deliver Me", and "Breathe".

[5] Freese completed all of his drum parts in three days, even though he had never heard a single song prior to the sessions.

[11] While the band was unable to retain Wild as a producer, they were able to secure him for the album's final mixing process.

[8] Static's vocal performance on Shadow Zone was commonly compared by journalists as similar to Jonathan Davis of Korn.

20 on the Billboard 200 charts, selling 48,418 copies in its first week, just over half the number of their prior album, Machine.
