From choosing a nominate that makes them sound like some sort of urban public workings section, to their music itself, Richmond, VA's Municipal Waste openly bow down to the memory of '80s thrash metal and crossover -- twenty age after, and a few one C miles away from the original movement's flush in New York City. Led by picturesquely named vocalizer Tony "Safety rail" Foresta, Municipal Waste played their first show on New Year's Eve 2001, and so exhausted the following few days working on demos, transcription the odd EP and split acquittance, and juggle musicians until solidification its membership around Guardrail, guitarist Ryan Waste and bassist Land Phil. Veteran drummer Dave Witte (ex-Human Remains, Burnt by the Sun, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, etc.) joined their ranks presently after the band signed with Earache Records and recorded 2004's Pine away Em All with manufacturer Corey Smoot (aka Flattus Maximus of GWAR). The album was directly embraced by discerning metal fans for its retro-tastic revival, received overpoweringly positive reviews, and landed Municipal Waste load-bearing slots on tours with Converge and the Red Chord. Late 2005 saw the unveiling of the band's evenly impressive sophomore feat, Risky Mutation, which helped them break big crosswise Europe, and resulted in even more touring opportunities. Two old age subsequently, the group at one time once more returned to the studio with producer Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, etc.), and emerged with their third irreverent musical composition, The Art of Partying.
