Municipal Waste
Energetic crossover-influenced thrash is alive and well
in the new millennium, thanks to bands like Virginia's
Municipal Waste.
Virtually every song on their 2005
Earache
debut
Hazardous Mutation is a non-stop thrashfest, invoking
the best of the thrash legends
(
Exodus ,
Anthrax ,
to name but two) along with the immediacy of prime crossover
a la
D.R.I. .
Checking in 17 years later, the band has grown in popularity and
released a string of albums -- indeed, the description to
Mutation
could equally apply to 2022's
Electrified Brain .
For retro thrash done right, it doesn't get much better than this.
