Formed in Richmond, Virginia, US, Municipal Waste were quick to make an impact, inciting a small riot after their debut performance at a New Year’s Eve party in 2000/2001. Featuring Tony “Guardrail” Foresta (lead vocals), Ryan Waste (guitars), Land Phil (bass) and Dave Witt (drums), the band became a popular local act, forging a sound reminiscent of Suicidal Tendencies, early Corrosion Of Conformity and Nuclear Assault.
Having spent their early years recording demo after demo, they soon garnered the attention of Earache Records who signed them to their roster. Their debut, 2004’s “Waste Them All,” was an instant success amongst metal fans, gaining widespread critical acclaim. High profile support slots for Converge and the Red Chord followed, before their second record, “Hazardous Mutation,” in 2005.
Finding fans in Europe, Municipal Waste capitalised on this, touring widely and becoming recognised names in the global metal community. Their third record, “The Art Of Partying,” saw a 2007 release, before embarking on a headline tour of Europe, making appearances at Reading and Leeds Festival in the UK and Waken Open Air in Germany. 2009’s “Massive Aggressive” was their last release on Earache Records, moving to Nuclear Blast for their fifth full-length, “The Fatal Feast,” in 2012.
Avis
Municipal Waste was a beast of a show. To get to see these guys play live was brutal and insane. Coming out of the south, these guys are thrash gods.
From the moment they hop on the stage, the crowd is already anticipating the destruction of the beautiful silence. The tension is in the air massive, and the audience is ready to begin their mosh pit and enjoy the crazy music.
When the band finally gets out on the stage, they are prepared to get this crowd hyped up and they do not disappoint. Within seconds, the band is unleashing thrash riffs of doom and a circle pit starts from the moment the first guitar gallop rings through the air. The riffs flying from the guitarist's axe are angry and full of aggression and angst. The bassist does an amazing job to keep up with these riffs and slaps down a huge aura of speed and aggression as well. The front man of the band Tony Foresta makes short work of any anticipation that anybody had and begins his wild vocal style. He yells and screams like an angry drill sergeant and the tone is fantastic.
This band really shreds together and put on a great live show.
The venue was small but that made it even better as it made it more intermittent. The fans made the band fell welcome and tore the place up with stage dives and mosh pits. Even the band them selves new it was a good gig when a security officer had to hold the sound system all night in case it fell over. The only negative I had was they only played a hour but other than that the show was awesome and shows metal is alive and isn't going anywhere.

This show was hands-down amazing. Municipal Waste is gonna fuck you up and they showed it through their set and stage presence. Tony and Phil had funny stage banter the entire time and Tony had the audience in the palm of his hand the entire time. There was never a dull moment during the set and even as a casual fan I highly recommend seeing them if you can.

Show was amazing. Thrash core for sure. Had bought tickets for high on fire but was not disappointed at all. Toxic holocaust was there as well making it even better. Highly recommend this band. They are the shit.

Badass show! All the bands put on a great performance, especially Municipal Waste. I got a setlist from them and the opener, Haunt. Cool venue as well. Well worth the price of admission.
