Originally exploding onto MTV in 2000 with a gripping video directed by Underworld visionary Len Wiseman, "Crash" captured the raw energy of industrial rock fused with electronica grit. Now, for this anniversary bombshell, Johnston has rewritten the track from the ground up, preserving Static's powerhouse vocals while infusing all-new music, chord progressions, and production that takes "CRASH: Reborn" into 2025 and beyond-think Marilyn Manson meets 3Teeth and Youth Code.

"I've unearthed lost vocal gems from Wayne and rebuilt this beast to resonate in today's chaotic world," Johnston nyatakake. " karo media sosial ngembangake iblis batin kita lan budaya influencer ndadekake kita kabeh rasa kaya bintang runtuh, lirik iki dipotong luwih ing ngisor iki-it's a cathartic explosion fans kudu musim liburan iki."

Amping up the visual mayhem, Johnston teamed with rising horror director William Instone (Butcher's Bluff, Goldilocks) to shoot fresh 4K footage, seamlessly updating Wiseman's original 35mm masterpiece. Paying explosive homage to the song's Batman Beyond roots and the Joker's twisted legacy, the video introduces a fierce female take on Arthur Fleck: An actress transforms with full-face white makeup and that iconic, ironically upturned smile, reinterpreting Joaquin Phoenix's haunting bathroom dance scene from Joker. The climax? A chilling "HELP" scrawled in blood on a mirror, echoing the lyric "Burning up baby like a falling star" in a visceral nod to inner turmoil and redemption.

"This isn't just a remix-it's a rebirth," Johnston enthuses. "Brad Gillis nyedhiyakake sing legendary, vicious edge kanggo ningkatake kekacauan, lan gabung karo Instone kanggo gabungake gambar-gambar tua lan anyar nggawe video sing minangka kinematografik minangka creepy. It's my holiday tribute to Wayne, fans, and the lasting power of this track." Coverage sadurunge saka rilis wis kalebu ReGen Magazine and Side-Line Magazine.

Dropping exclusively in the early morning of New Year's Eve, "CRASH: Reborn" will be available for download (pay what you want) and streaming on Bandcamp-as well as Audius and SoundCloud, plus video on YouTube, Rumble, and Odysee-as Johnston's ultimate fan gift. Look for wider distribution on Spotify, Apple Music, and more in Q1 2026. Don't miss the video teaser already igniting buzz - check it out now!
