The problem with being a mysterious character in the world of entertainment is if you have a prior history in the world, and recognizable tattoos, it's very hard to keep your identity a secret. While the identity of Static-X's new frontman has been rumored to be Edsel Dope, we now have some definitive evidence of his true identity.
Danish metal zine Metal a Day captured a profile view of Xero, the Static-X frontman, where a neck tattoo is clearly visible that matches one seen on Edsel.
Take a look:
As MetalSucks points out, this is exactly how Slipknot bassist Alessandro Venturella was revealed the day their new video came out – his hand tattoo.
Either way, if you were planning on catching some of these Static-X reunion shows, this confirmation shouldn't really stop you. Should it? The band is on tour right now with DevilDriver, Dope, Wednesday 13, and Raven Black. Get tickets here.
Here's Edsel in simpler times, offering some logical advice for musicians looking to fund their career by slinging dope, like he did.
