Municipal Waste have been in the studio working on a new album. Tony Foresta told Decibel the following about working on new material amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“I think it’s the best—I know a lot of band’s always say this shit—but it’s the most prepared we’ve ever been. We’re extremely confident with the material. We’ve combing everything, obsessing about everything, because this is a positive thing in our lives right now. So we want to make it the best thing possible. And I think it’s something that we can give to our fans and be proud of.”
In other news, the frontman also recently stayed the night at John Travolta‘s house in Anthony, FL. He shared the below photos from his visit:
During a recent interview with Overdrive.ie, Municipal Waste’s Tony Foresta revealed that the band are “sitting on a lot of new material.” He said the following:
“…To be honest we’re sitting on a lot of new material and I reckon we’re just gonna go for another album. It took us five years to make ‘Slime…‘ and now we’re only 2 years deep and we’re ready to go again! I’ve been so busy with Iron Reagan and Municipal… that I’m actually taking 5/6 months off, just because I’m fucking overworked. It’s finally come to a point where I’ve hit a wall with both projects and I’m exhausted from it.”
Obituary, Municipal Waste, Exhorder, and Nasty Savage will be performing at the “Metalcade 2020 …And Justice For Brawl” festival in Tampa, FL during “WrestleMania” weekend. The event will take place at Cigar City Brewing on April 4.

“We have another release down the pipe—which is pretty crazy, we have a EP—we went back after ‘Slime And Punishment‘, this isn’t like extra songs off the album. We went back and wrote a few songs and they fucking rip. So right after this tour I’m going into the studio like three days after this and gonna track some shit. It’s already written. It’s and EP, not an LP. It’s like six songs, it rips.”

Municipal Waste have premiered a new video for the title track of their latest album “Slime And Punishment.” You can check that out below:
Guitarist Ryan Waste commented:
“Teaming up with Norman Cabrera for this video was a match made in horror. His 35 years experience with practical FX in film shined through as you‘ll see in this latest Waste clip. Not only a fan of monsters, he’s a metal lifer like us, so we saw eye to eye on the aesthetic of everything involved.
Initially, Norman approached me to make a mask for Municipal Waste, which has been his specialty for many years. I said why don’t you do us one better and make a damn video?! He leaped on the opportunity and even stepped up as the director, as well as the effects designer, making multiple masks and creating the horrific world of ‘Slime And Punishment‘.
We all grew up on VHS and that played a major inspiring role in the video as well. It was like making a movie, all the work that went into this and there are countless people to thank. I have to give shout-outs to Slasher Dave for composing the intro score and Joel Grind for taking us out with the synth outro, bookending this nightmare perfectly.”
