Cannibal is the fifth studio album by Static-X, released on April 3, 2007.
The first song released from the album was "Cannibal". However, the song "Destroyer" was released as the first single to radio, and a music video was made to accompany it.
The track "No Submission" is additionally available on the Saw III soundtrack. The title song "Cannibal" was released to iTunes on February 5 as a digital download single. "Destroyer" appeared later, on February 13 and appeared as an EP by March 20. The music video for "Destroyer" premiered on the internet on April 6.
While the title song "Cannibal" was inspired by Wayne's vegetarian thoughts of people eating meat, "Reptile" is simply about being eaten alive by a huge reptile. On January 18, 2007, a MySpace bulletin from the band revealed the track listing. Additionally, it is the first Static-X album without an "otsego" song included.
The full album leaked onto peer-to-peer networks on March 26, 2007. The album debuted at #36 on the U.S. Billboard 200 with sales of about 30,000. To date, the album has sold around 100,000 copies.
