Richmond’s hard-partying, thrash metal maniacs MUNICIPAL WASTE will release their massively-anticipated 7th studio album, “Electrified Brain,” on July 1st via Nuclear Blast.
Here is Everything You Need To Know About Municipal Waste Before They Release ‘Electrified Brain’

- “Electrified Brain” marks MUNICIPAL WASTE’s first album in 5 years, following the release of their critically exalted 2017 record “Slime and Punishment.”
They’re not writing any love ballads to sell records.
- Recorded in Philadelphia with producer Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Code Orange), “Electrified Brain” is a high-voltage non-stop masterclass of neck-snapping thrash that’d be the ideal soundtrack for high-speed car chases and backyard steel cage matches as witnessed on the new track “Grave Dive.”
- MUNICIPAL WASTE will hit the road in support of “Electrified Brain” beginning in April in the U.S. followed by a run of Europe with ANTHRAX in the fall. Purchase tickets here: https://www.municipalwaste.net/tour


- Since 2001, Municipal Waste have uncompromisingly stuck to their guns as hard-partying and even harder-hitting torchbearers of 21st century thrash metal.
- The guys have sold out countless shows on multiple continents and piled up tens of millions of streams in the process.
- Their new album was recorded during the pandemic in Philadelphia with producer Arthur Rizk [Power Trip, Code Orange], the sessions would be the first time the band reunited in person after a year.
