MY OWN WILL Reforge A Static-X Classic With Savage Deathcore Cover ‘The Only’

Heavy music rises from the backwoods of Michigan as My Own Will unleash their ferocious deathcore cover of “The Only,” paying raw and uncompromising tribute to one of industrial metal’s most iconic anthems. Stripped of polish and rebuilt with crushing weight, the band transform the familiar into something far more brutal, injecting their own sonic identity while preserving the spirit of the original.

For My Own Will, Static-X were more than an influence — they were a gateway into heavy music itself. “The Only” holds a deeply personal place for the band, representing one of the first encounters with heaviness that shaped their musical path. Rather than recreate the track note-for-note, the band tear it apart and rebuild it through the lens of modern deathcore, amplifying its aggression while keeping its core attitude intact.

The cover is driven by bone-crushing breakdowns, serrated riffs, and punishing vocals that push the song into darker, heavier territory. Industrial bounce gives way to sheer sonic violence, creating a version of “The Only” that feels raw, hostile, and unmistakably My Own Will. It’s a respectful homage that refuses to play it safe, honoring the past by forging something brutal and new.

With this release, My Own Will salute the legacy of the late Wayne Static in the only way they know how — loud, heavy, and unapologetic. “The Only” stands as both a tribute and a statement, proving that influence doesn’t mean imitation, and that reverence can be expressed through sheer force from the depths of Michigan’s underground.
