MUNICIPAL WASTE

Checks in from the studio

Richmond, Virginia thrashers MUNICIPAL WASTE are recording their new album, titled "Massive Aggressive", at Red Planet Studios in the band's hometown with acclaimed producer Chris "Zeuss" Harris (HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), who also helmed 2007's "The Art Of Partying".

Commented guitarist Ryan Waste: "We're in the middle of blazing out the new tracks from 'Massive Aggressive'. I'm really proud of the speed picking on the new record. I finish up my rhythms tomorrow and I'm pumped to celebrate after some gruelling nights in the studio. Zeuss is spot-on for this record and we are thankful to have him in our neck of the woods this around.

"For 'Massive Aggressive', we are striving to capture elements from both traditional heavy metal and hardcore punk. When combined, the two genres can become a lethal formula. We're not afraid to bridge the gap on this one."

Drummer Dave Witte added: "This record is definitely shaping up to be the best we've done easily, I've already banged out all my tracks in one and half days and am totally pleased with the outcome... I think our fans are going to be psyched with this record and I can't wait to play these songs live!"

Vocalist Tony Foresta commented: "I have about three songs left of vocals. I'm really happy with how things are turning out. Zeuss has been pushing me really hard this time around and I think it will show when the record is completed."
