Municipal Waste
b'
Thrash metal has seen a resurgence since its \\u201980s heyday. Megadeth earned a Grammy for their 2016 album Dystopia, and very recently Stranger Things\\u2019 brave headbanger Eddie Munson brandished a B.C. Rich Warlock for a literally death-defying performance of Metallica\\u2019s \\u201cMaster of Puppets\\u201d that catapulted the song into widespread pop-culture consciousness. But for metal purists, Municipal Waste and their cofounding guitarist Ryan Waste, plus their track record of seven mosh-motivating albums over the past 21 years, prove the genre\\u2019s brand of battle-axe riffery wasn\\u2019t a fad. Sure, the band\\u2019s sound has diversified the artform with the subtle incorporation of hardcore breakdowns and punk-rock-like choruses\\u2014but everything is still in fifth-gear, baby!
Ahead of their headlining show at Nashville\\u2019s Basement East on August 10, PG\\u2019s Perry Bean jumped onstage to talk gear. Guitarists Waste and Nick \\u201cNikropolis\\u201d Poulos prove they can travel light but stay lethal with a few riff-makers, gassed-up Marshalls, and some green and yellow Japanese drives.
