Career

Along with Wayne Static, Campos was the only band member that had been a constant figure through the different Static-X lineup changes.

In 2011 he joined the death metal band, Possessed, until 2012. He played with Possessed in 2013 at The Oakland Metro. He also joined Soulfly in 2011 as the official bass player.
