Newly surfaced footage has reignited controversy surrounding the relationship between Edsel Dope and the late Wayne Static, with comments that many fans are likely to find shocking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A newly leaked video shared by documentary filmmaker Matt Zane appears to feature Edsel Dope confirming that the Frankenstein-style cartoon character featured in Static-X’s “Zombie” music video was intended as a parody of Wayne Static.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage, which Zane says recently came into his possession, was published on his official Instagram account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I tried to tell people that Edsel and the other guys in the band were mocking Wayne and Tera in the video. No one believed me even though I worked within the newly reformed Static-X camp for over five years and was actually told what it was about. Finally you can hear Edsel himself confirm it,” said Zane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same footage, Edsel Dope is also heard making remarks about Wayne Static’s struggles with addiction and his own future with Static-X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is no problem. Like thanks bro. You\u2019re going to become a junkie and I\u2019m going to end up with your fucking job.\u201d \u2014 Edsel Dope<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video was reportedly never intended for public release and offers what Zane describes as a candid, behind-the-scenes moment that sheds new light on long-standing speculation among fans regarding the meaning behind the “Zombie” music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage has already sparked discussion online, with many fans questioning the history between Wayne Static, Edsel Dope, and the current incarnation of Static-X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
