Static X are not metal. They're pathetic Nu Metal trash, and as everyone who knows anything about metal will tell you - Nu Metal is just a bullshit label made up by the music industry to refer to something which actually has nothing to do with metal, and has it's roots in punk. Atreyu are also not metal, they're just a mallcore MTV band, fresh off the production line to promote mindless consumerism. Death to false metal.
