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.
