MUNICIPAL WASTE To Record New Album In March
February 2, 2009, 15 years ago
BW&BK; has received the following press release:
Earache recording artists, MUNICIPAL WASTE are set to start work on recording their new, yet to be titled album this March at Red Planet Studios in their hometown of Richmond, VA. The album will be produced by Zeuss, who had produced the band's last album, The Art Of Partying.
The writing process for the new record is almost complete and the band is excited about bringing new ideas to the table. Frontman Tony Foresta comments: "So far the song writing is coming off a lot more aggressive than our previous efforts." Drummer Dave Witte agrees: "This set of new songs are challenging and super fun to play, we turned up the aggressive and speed knobs while keeping the good time intact."
The Art Of Partying was released in 2007. Looking ahead, Tony Foresta is enthused about the direction that the band's writing has taken them on the new album: "I think it is a definite change from our last two albums. Nothing super drastic, but a positive change. The Waste is still all about having a good time. But I think we all agreed on writing something a bit more pissed off and different with this album, Instead of going ahead and writing the same album all over again. But don't fear we're not getting 'artistic' or any bullshit like that. We've just been listening to a lot more POISON IDEA and NWOBHM and I feel it might show a bit with this next album."
The band have announced three song titles which promises to entirely new levels of intensity and insanity in a style that is pure Waste: 'Massive Aggressive', 'Shredded Offering', 'The Divine Blasphemer'.
The new Municipal Waste album is expected to be released worldwide on Earache Records in late August 2009.
