MUNICIPAL WASTE
<Municipal Waste>

opening act:TOTAL FURY

The iron hammer of slash metal swaying down in the times of confusion. The flag-bearer of the New Generation Slash Movement will return to Japan long-awaited.

In the early 1980s, Slash Metal appeared in tremendous speed and Hevigninness. While metalicas and threads continue to reign as the most important bands in the metal world, they have produced numerous new forces. In such a situation, the fusion with the hardcore and intensified was Municipal Waste.

They claim to be "Municipal Waste = General Waste", but contrary to the name of the band, they attack with a golden shining slash sound that doesn't let anyone say trash.

Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2001, they have been hitting the world with a beer-driven crossover slash. In 2004, they overrun the United States, as well as Western and South America, and intensified their sound further with Dave Whitte (Discodance Axis, Burnt by the Sun, etc.) as drummers. The first performance in Japan was realized in May 2010.

The horror live has now become a legend, and the return to Japan has been waiting for a long time, but the dream of Japanese fans has finally come true.

The Japan tour will be held with the new album "Slime and Panishment" for the first time in five years since the previous work "The Fey Tal Feist" (2012). Band vocalist Tony Forresta said about the opening of this time, "Our album has a lot of songs every time, and fans are not looking for so much new ones." But that was a mistake. "Is there a new album yet?" "Because I've been asking him!" he explained, but the stage of the new killing power that explodes the damaging impulse that has accumulated, will hit all over Japan in the whirlpool of screams.

(In fact, "The Fay Tal Feist" is a work that makes you feel their commitment to creative aspects, such as recreating the material for one album with a bottom.)

In addition to the Rai Anne C. Way strike, which has heard the roaring riff since the band was formed, Nic Poulos participated as a second guitarist. Tony said, "I've been keeping an eye on Nic's subscription to the former Canabis Corps/BAT. He is the best guitarist and good companion, and thanks to his presence, the album's song making smoother," he said. The twin guitar formation amplifies the band's heroinness and attacks the listeners with mercy.

Municipal Wayst's live is exceptionally extreme, exciting, and happy. They have brought chaos to the stage using their anger toward society as an energy source, but their attitude is endless positive and free. Rather than imposing their thoughts and messages, their lives are a celebration that sings and rampages and enjoys life and slash metal.

Slash Shitenno (Metalica, Slayer, Megades, Ann Slacks) and German Slash Three Flaglass (Distraction, Sodom, Creator) are alive in the slash world, but it inherits the genealogy of Crossover Slashes such as New Clear Assert, D.R.I., S.O.D. Their revisit to Japan will be the first shock in 2018, telling the wind cloud.
