Wisconsin Death Trip (album)

Wisconsin Death Trip is the debut studio album by American industrial metal band Static-X, released on March 23, 1999, by Warner Bros. Records.

The band was formed after lead singer Wayne Static and drummer Ken Jay met at a Virgin Records store in Chicago.

Once in California, Koichi Fukuda became guitarist, and not long after, they discovered Californian Tony Campos to complete the lineup as their bassist.

[4] It features a song written by vocalist Wayne Static and drummer Ken Jay's former band Deep Blue Dream, titled "December".

A sample of dialogue from actress Linnea Quigley from the 1988 film Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama appears in the outro of "I'm with Stupid".

[5] The book, responsible for capturing the imaginations of the band and inspiring the album title, contains a collection of photographs cataloging deceased persons previously residing in the Black River Falls region in the late 19th century.

The song features an array of sounds from industrial metal to the band's "evil disco" style.

The music video is composed of recordings from live shows, and the audio was spliced with the original album version.

A remix of the song "Love Dump" appeared on the soundtrack to the 2001 film Valentine, as well as the 2009 video game Brütal Legend.
