Static-X have been inactive for a while now, with frontman Wayne Static focusing on his long awaited solo album Pighammer and bassist Tony Campos out of the band for good. While the nu-metal group’s status is still not entirely clear (seeing that their originally announced appearance at this year’s Hellfest didn’t happen), we at least won’t have to wait much longer for Wayne’s solo album.

It was announced today that Wayne Static will finally release Pighammer on October 4 via Dirthouse Records. In addition to the announcement, though, a snippet of a new song off the album called “Chrome Nation” was posted on his website. Fans will likely be very pleased by the 34 second sample, as it certainly sounds like old-school Static-X.

You can listen to the snippet of “Chrome Nation” for yourself below, and can also check out the track listing for Pighammer after the jump.
