Official press release:
Not an April Fools' joke! 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. Today, the band has revealed the shocking cover artwork by James Bousema, track listing and the deadly single "Grave Dive."
Electrified Brain marks Municipal Waste's first album in 5 years, following the release of their critically exalted 2017 record Slime and Punishment. And don't think they've slowed down in the years since. "We're not writing any love ballads to sell records," affirms vocalist Tony Foresta. "We're just doing what we've always done since the band started—and that's try to write loud, fast, and ripping hardcorepunkmetal. We hope you walk away with some bloody ears, blown speakers, pissed off parents, black eyes, and a healthy distrust of authority."
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."
"It's in the vein of songs like 'Headbanger Face Rip' and 'Wave of Death'," Tony notes. "It's an inspirational song for our fans to cause bodily harm to themselves, but in a loud and healthy way, of course."
Recorded during the pandemic, the sessions would be the first time the band reunited in person after a year. Together, they achieved "a thicker and heavier sound."
In the end, Electrified Brain will give you everything you'd want from a Municipal Waste record or heavy metal record, period. "We hope you walk away with some bloody ears, blown speakers, pissed off parents, black eyes, and a healthy distrust of authority," says Tony.

Post CommentIf only the Tool fan with the actual electrified brain had known this album was dropping. The cross promotional opportunities would have been unimaginable.
and a healthy distrust of authority," says Tony. Tony, you gonna release a shirt of Biden blowing his own brains out like you did Trump? No? Didn't think so.
anonymous 35 seconds ago and a healthy distrust of authority," says Tony. Tony, you gonna release a shirt of Biden blowing his own brains out like you did Trump? No? Didn't think so. Trump lost
"Tony, you gonna release a shirt of Biden blowing his own brains out like you did Trump? No? Didn't think so." Probably not, because Tony's not a complete idiot.
Idiots make the best music. Municipal Waste is gonna f*ck you up!
anonymous 2 hours ago and a healthy distrust of authority," says Tony. Tony, you gonna release a shirt of Biden blowing his own brains out like you did Trump? No? Didn't think so. Nope. Cause they are lib posers.
Imagine dressing like this in your late 40s to mid 50s. Any man over 25 years old who dresses like this or wears a t-shirt, hoodie, or shorts in public (not at the gym or outside exercising) two words: GROW UP.

" Imagine dressing like this in your late 40s to mid 50s. Any man over 25 years old who dresses like this or wears a t-shirt, hoodie, or shorts in public (not at the gym or outside exercising) two words: GROW UP." 100% this guy plays the farfisa in a ska band
Wow this album might actually get Municipal Waste to an Every Time I Die level. Just remember if you go to one of their shows be sure to throw the X signal with your arms if you need them to stop playing for any reason.
"Any man over 25 years old who dresses like this or wears a t-shirt, hoodie, or shorts in public (not at the gym or outside exercising) two words: GROW UP." Wait, you don't ever wear shorts of a t shirt in public? Are you a priest or something??
"^^^ retarded leftist alert" Well, I just don't find any of my family members sexually attractive, don't live in a mobile home park and paid attention in school, so I guess that makes me a "retarded leftist??"
Dude that has forbidden himself to wear certain articles of clothing... do you just wear a suit all the time?

Wait, you don't ever wear shorts of a t shirt in public?

Triggered liberals in the comments like whoa! Liberals support the Deep State, Big Tech stole the election, and Trump is your daddy.

These dudes have the best art. f*ck trump. Brains out

You ask her out on a date, she says yes. You meet her, she's wearing a nice blouse and dress. You're gonna wear a t-shirt and a hoodie or look like a guy who's gonna mug, kidnap, rape, or kill her? No, you're gonna wear a collared buttonup or polo with pants & shoes - what a fuc kin grow a ss man wears when he goes out on a date with a woman besides that she dressed up for you thus you should dress up for her.
^^^^ Another thing: Beards & moustaches are ridiculous & even more so with short hair. 1834 Old West barkeep looking motherfuc ker. Fur trapper from The Revenant looking motherfu cked Look at me with a beard to hide my double chin & make people notice my eyes more. You ever wonder why people say wow when you shave off your facial hair? Cuz they can finally see your entire face you weirdo. If you consider yourself a handsome guy don't you want a woman you wanna get with to see your whole face?
Maybe the fact that you're still going on first dates means that your strategy isn't working. Maybe showing up at the mini-golf place for your Tinder date looking like James Bond in a tuxedo isn't sending the signal you think it is.
Who the f*ck would want to date a school teacher? So she can talk to me about CRT, how she talks sex and wokeness to 6 year olds, how the white man is the devil and why she only makes $38,000 a year ?
This "I dress like an adult" guy is clearly a virgin

Maybe showing up at the mini-golf place for your Tinder date looking like James Bond in a tuxedo isn't sending the signal you think it is. >>> First date? Any date first second etc. you dress in a collared shirt and pants you slob. Congrats for telling everyone you look for dates on Tinder then take them to mini-golf. Any dressed up man would look like James Bond in a tuxedo compared to your manchild getup. Of course you go to the extreme. Keep crying about being called out for dressing like a child.
This "I dress like an adult" guy is clearly a virgin >> Keep self-projecting. Better yet buy a buttonup shirt & a pair of pants then get a haircut & shave & maybe you'll lose your virginity, clown.

No one teaches CRT, sex, or wholeness to 6 year olds, DeSantis wannabe. Glad you pointed out that teachers are underpaid.
these guys look smelly >> They are smelly like most of you. Buy underarm & use it.
Being all, "I dress like an adult in slacks and a polo!" in 2022 is the ODDEST battle to fight, especially when you're on lambgoat making comments in a story about a thrash band. There's definitely a wide chasm between dressing like you're in Slayer 1985 all the time and only wearing slacks and collared shirts in public.
This comment section is more entertaining than the new single.

Grown men getting all bent of shape over someone telling them to dress like grown men not teenagers. I just think it's ridiculous for a 44 year old man to go out in public wearing a hoodie, tee & cargo shorts. It's juvenile. It says "I don't want to grow up." Municipal Waste dress the way they do because they've given up in life. Don't be Municipal Waste.
^^^ Again, the gym, out for a jog, or shooting hoops fine. Outside of that you're a manchild.
These dudes look like the biker gang who got beat down in A Bronx Tale LOL.
lol @ that one guy getting pissed and replying to every post
I never wear shorts or a t-shirt in public save when I'm exercising (an exception I stated numbnuts) & I'm not a priest, I'm an adult male who dresses like an adult male not a teenager. ^^^^ So you dress like a golfer, congratulations.
100% this guy plays the farfisa in a ska band This didn't get enough acknowledgement. Well done. And "dress like an adult!" dude gives STRONG spectrum vibes.

No, I dress like an adult male unlike you. Keep wearing a tee, hoodie & shorts 37 year old manchild.
How An Adult Male 25 & Up Dreseses: Collared shirt Pants (chinos, khakis, corduroys, jeans) Shoes for work & dates Sneakers for casual outings, the gym, running & certain types of dates How A 25 & Up Manchild Dresses: This Municipal Waste photo Tee, hoodie, shorts
Pretty pathetic that you have so little going on that you come here repeatedly for 2 days straight to talk about how other men dress. Clown
I keep imagining this guy is in that band where everyone dresses like Ned Flanders. However, I know that whatever the truth is… it's much, much worse.
anonymous 2 days ago Imagine dressing like this in your late 40s to mid 50s. Any man over 25 years old who dresses like this or wears a t-shirt, hoodie, or shorts in public (not at the gym or outside exercising) two words: GROW UP ^ your god kind Scott Vogel is 50 and wears a hoodie and gym shorts every day year round.
Dave Witte voted for Trump in both elections but was still happy to cash in on the Trump shirt Posers.
CJ McMahon here, I've just posted on my instagram about needing some diet tips because I'm fat as f*ck and can't do anything that requires only my own effort to benefit solely me without getting attention for it from a bunch of stoned Call of Duty players, you guys look like you could use some advice too, feel free to DM me and I'll hit you back
Pretty pathetic that you have so little going on that you come here repeatedly for 2 days straight to talk about how other men dress. Clown >> Pretty pathetic that you dress like a child at your age, grown ass man. Also pretty pathetic that you're bent out of shape over someone saying how adult men should dress. Me standing next to you at a bar-restaurant. I'm wearing a polo & chinos, you're wearing a black Municipal Waste tee & black cargos. Guess who a pretty lady will mistake for a waiter, barback, deliveryguy, or dishwasher - you guessed it: YOU. And I'll get her number while you get your palm.
your god kind Scott Vogel is 50 and wears a hoodie and gym shorts every day year round. >> My God yeah sure LOL. He needs to grow up along with you. I love LOVE how bent out of shape all of you are over being to told to wear pants & get a haircut. Truth hurts.
I keep imagining this guy is in that band where everyone dresses like Ned Flanders. However, I know that whatever the truth is… it's much, much worse >> I keep imagining you as a 44 year old who still dresses like he's 22. I wear a tee & shorts AT HOME, collared shirt & pants outside of the home & for work. But you keep dressing like a teenager, adult male.
What a hill to die on. LOL. >> Yeah, saying it's acceptable for a 44 year old man to wear a band t-shirt, hoodie & shorts.
Love all you people crying over a random dude coming on here telling you you dress like a kid and shit cuz it's true and he's right you do need to grow up.
^^^ SMH @ you posting all this sh it like you always do, "Lambgoat CPA" obsessed with Scott Vogel. Loser.
I don't know why but I just kept humming any mid tempo anthrax tune to this. Not bad
