Municipal Waste

Municipal Waste are the crossover thrash torchbearers from Richmond, Virginia, delivering breakneck riffs, beer-soaked party anthems, and a relentless sense of fun that made them modern kings of the mosh pit. Their sound welds ’80s thrash speed to hardcore punk chaos.

The album Hazardous Mutation put them on the map, The Art of Partying became a crossover classic, and Electrified Brain proved they’ve lost none of their ferocity, with rippers like “Sadistic Magician,” “Grave Dive,” and “Unleash the Bastards.” Bringing the circle pit to Aftershock 2026, they’re a guaranteed good time.
