Ambassadors of thrash crossover, MUNICIPAL WASTE bring their contagious and explosive energy to the EVILLIVE FESTIVAL.
From their name, which sounds like an urban public works department, to their very music, the American band MUNICIPAL WASTE, hailing from Richmond, Virginia, openly pay homage to the thrash metal and crossover scenes of the ’80s – decades after the original movement’s peak in New York. Formed in 2001 with their self-titled EP, the band’s debut full-length album, Waste ‘Em All (2003), helped pave the way for a crossover resurgence in the early 2000s. Even though this phenomenon quickly faded, they continued to carry the torch in subsequent releases like Massive Aggressive (2009), Slime and Punishment (2017), and Electrified Brain (2022), with vocalist Tony Foresta and guitarist Ryan Waste serving as the band’s only constant members.
