Waste Takezo

Thrashing party metal legends Municipal Waste are back with a brand-new album called ‘Electrified Brain’. Out on July 1st, 2022 via Nuclear Blast. "Electrified Brain" marks MUNICIPAL WASTE's first album in 5 years, following the release of their critically exalted 2017 record "Slime and Punishment." And don't think they've slowed down in the years since. Recorded in Philadelphia with producer Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Code Orange), "Electrified Brain" is a high-voltage non-stop masterclass of neck-snapping thrash that'd be the ideal soundtrack for high-speed car chases and backyard steel cage matches as witnessed on the new track "Grave Dive."

Undisputed masters of the crossover genre, Richmond, Virginia's Municipal Waste return with their fifth full-length album in their endless quest to bring the fury, bring the laughs and bring the party to obscene new lows. Tasked with the noble aim of spreading the shred, 'The Fatal Feast' is the most complete album the band have recorded. More bang, more intensity and a rounder sound make this not only the perfect party record, but also a natural fit for their epically ridiculous live shows. This digipak edition adds bonus track "Eviction Party"!

On the surface, A Pale Horse Named Death are impressive. But you´ll want to dig deeper and immerse yourself in all the sonic and lyrical layers, because the band isn´t afraid to plume the depths of darkness that humanity is capable of. It´s murky stuff, but someone has to do it.Musically, the record matches that pallor and "will hit you in the gut." There are more harmonies this time out, and the piano is a bit more front and center, while guitarist Eddie Heedles contributed some leads. But for the most part, the formula remained largely untouched. "If it´s not broken, don´t fix it,´" Abruscato said, matter-of-factly. "We wanted to display the advancements, musically and artistically, and retain the core element."Mission accomplished!A Pale Horse Named Death arrived with And Hell Will Follow Me. They have firmly implanted their roots in the metal scene with Lay My Soul to Waste. It’s a metal album that headbangers who enjoy a walk on the darker side of life will end up revering and responding to.

Recorded in Summer 1977 with an all star line up, this release consists of two tracks originally released as a 7" single in a limited edition of 500, plus three previously unreleased tracks. Backing Sting on these tracks are Steve Hillage (Gong), Steve Broughton (Edgar Broughton Band), Mike Howlett (Gong) and Harry Williamson. An essential purchase for Sting fans as this predates his material with The Police.

Art of the Noise are one of the most groundbreaking, but least understood, bands from the 80's. Their work with ZZT is (rightfully) hailed as groundbreaking, brilliant and highly influential. However, its later albums, without Trevor Horn, are usually either ignored or condemned as hackwork. I can't share this opinion: though later albums became more focused and song-oriented ("In Visible Silence"), the songs were high quality and engaging. And the wild third album "In No Sense? Nonsense!" is on par with "Who's Afraid of the Art Of Noise?" for pure wildness and experimental cutting-edgedness, though a little less focused. It's "suite like" construction makes every listen unpredictable, if uncohesive. And then there's this album: is this the ultimate Art of Noise "sell out" album or what? It's just too bad it didn't have their ultimate sell out single "Kiss" or it would have been a top 10 album, instead of a forgotten relic of the weird (and better than most people want to admit) 80's music scene.

Thrash metal band Municipal Waste have reissued their 2002 EP Tango and Thrash via Nuclear Blast Records. The album is fully remastered with bonus tracks and updated artwork.

Goat Girl - Lottie Pendlebury (she/her), Rosy Jones (they/them) and Holly Mullineaux (she/her) release their third album Below The Waste on Rough Trade Records. The album was co–produced by the band and John Spud Murphy (Lankum and black midi).
