Municipal Waste is an American thrash metal band that has carved out a niche for themselves with their fast-paced, riff-laden sound and their humorous, often irreverent approach to the genre. Emerging from Richmond, Virginia, in the early 2000s, the band was formed by vocalist Tony Foresta along with guitarist Ryan Waste, quickly gaining attention in the underground metal scene with their energetic live shows and relentless touring. Their debut album "Waste 'Em All" arrived in 2003, setting the stage for their characteristic blend of punk-infused thrash.

Over the years, Municipal Waste built upon their reputation as the torchbearers of a rebirth of crossover thrash, a style that bridges the gap between thrash metal and hardcore punk. Prolific in their output, they have released a series of albums that showcase their evolution while staying true to their party-hard, mosh-ready ethos. Albums like "The Art of Partying" (2007), "Massive Aggressive" (2009), and "The Fatal Feast" (2012) are seen as modern classics in the genre, underscoring their knack for catchy hooks and relentless speed, all while throwing a satirical punch. Their most recent addition, "Electrified Brain" (2022), continues their tradition of electrifying musicianship and riotous themes, proving Municipal Waste's enduring ability to fuel the mosh pit with a blend of humor and high-octane metal.
