Municipal Waste

Since 2001, MUNICIPAL WASTE has stood as relentless thrash metal champions, blending party energy with crushing riffs. The Richmond quintet—Tony Foresta, Ryan Waste, Landphil, Dave Witte, and Nick Poulos—have evolved from cult favorites to metal mainstays. Albums like The Art of Partying and Hazardous Mutation earned critical acclaim, topping “best-of” lists and inspiring a new generation. With sold-out shows worldwide and millions of streams, their 2022 release, Electrified Brain, showcases a heavier, tighter sound, crafted with producer Arthur Rizk after pandemic isolation, proving MUNICIPAL WASTE remain as fierce and vital as ever.
