Formed in 1994, the band was originally formed by Wayne Static and Ken Jay. After some research of members in Chicago, the two went to Los Angeles. There, they met Tony Campos and Koichi Fukuda, completing the first lineup of the band.

Static-X's music is based on hardcore Industrial metal, using heavy overdrive distortion, fast paced, angry vocals, gothic-like keyboards and brain pounding bass riffs.

The band signed with Warner Bros Records in early 1998.

Others consider them "NĂ¼-metal" because they lack guitar solos, focus entirely on rhythm guitar, have alot of nu metal bands as their influences, teen angst lyrics and predictable song structures.
