Earache Records reports:

Chaos broke out recently when Virginian thrashers MUNICIPAL WASTE paid a visit to a nuclear power plant. Needless to say, the power plant couldn't handle the sheer energy of the band and the building started to collapse, causing toxic waste to leak into the local water supply with some rather unsettling results.

There couldn't be a scarier thought, but luckily for us, this didn't actually happen. This tale of terror sets the scene for Municipal Waste's gory new music video for the track 'Sadistic Magician', which comes off the band's 2007 Earache Records album, The Art Of Partying.

Filmed at the Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant in Playa del Ray, California, the 'Sadistic Magician' video was directed by Jeff Speed of 1134 Films and produced by Carolyn Vye of The Vault LA (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AS I LAY DYING, MADINA LAKE) and features Municipal Waste doing what they best - thrashing it up and laying waste to everything around them!

Director Jeff Speed comments on the video: "Humor, horror, metal and mayhem have always been a winning combination. It's 80's throwback to the fullest - back when videos were fun and the music was still dangerous. Municipal Waste is the perfect band for it because this is exactly who they are - no bullshit."

Check out all the carnage of the video below...

If you don't already have The Art Of Partyiing, there's no better time to get it than now! A special Redux edition of this modern thrash classic is available on June 16th in the UK/Europe and July 8th in the US, exclusive to Hot Topic, and comes in a toxic green case complete with a previously unreleased bonus track, two bonus videos and an exclusive poster.
