While I was away recovering from my wisdom tooth extraction, Municipal Waste released the cover art for their upcoming release, The Fatal Feast - and it's friggin' awesome. It's by Justin Osbourn of Slasher Design, and not only is it cool as fuckin' ice, but I love the "Waste in Space" bit. I don't think that's an [...]
Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli… I've only met Dave Witte once, at the editor-in-chief's palatial Playboy Mansion-esque estate over the Fourth of July (all metal folk remained fully clothed, thank god). He's [...]
Those mighty scum sucking space dogs in GWAR recently announced not only that they were doing a massive tribute concert for their fallen guitarist, Cory Smoot, but that they'd soon be embarking on a tour with Municipal Waste and Ghoul. Which is, like, the perfect line-up for a GWAR tour. 'Cause if you split GWAR's [...]
The first Cory Smoot memorial show, benefitting The Smoot Family Fund, was, by all accounts, a huge success (see footage from the concert here). So it's no surprise that the band has announced a second memorial show, which will probably be an even bigger success, given that not only are GWAR themselves headlining, but they're [...]
While Oderus broke the story to us a few weeks ago on the Livecast that GWAR is hitting the road this Spring with Municipal Waste, today it was made official. Ghoul and Suppression will be providing support throughout the trek. GWAR has also announced that the kickoff to the tour will be another benefit show ...

Tony Foresta ( Municipal Waste , No Friends ), LandPhil Hall ( Municipal Waste , Cannabis Corpse), Ryan Parish ( Darkest Hour , Suppression, City of Caterpillar ) and Paul Burnette ( Darkest Hour , Crack Head) have formed a new band called Iron Reagan . Their demo can be found for free on Bandcamp .
Iron Reagan is a new band featuring two current members of Municipal Waste (Tony Foresta and Landphil) and one current and one former member of Darkest Hour (Paul Burnette and Ryan Parish), and that information alone should pretty much be enough to get you asking "Where I can hear this band?!?" And the answer is, right [...]
Meet Iron Reagan, an old school punk-hardcore band formed by Ryan Parish and Paul Burnette (ex-Darkest Hour) along with Tony Foresta, and Phil "Landphil" Hall of Municipal Waste. The outcome is every bit as upbeat, crusty, punk-infested, Richmond style fun as you'd come to expect from the likes of these four gentlemen. You can check ...
On this past Sunday's edition of the Metal Injection Livecast, GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus made a surprise phone call into the show and gave a brief update on the goings-on of GWAR. Oderus revealed that the band will be back on the road this spring with Municipal Waste in tow. The Waste will be promoting their ...

So, hey, I dunno if you guys heard, but earlier this month we put on this totally rad festival, The Metal Suckfest? No big deal, it was just twenty awesome bands in two days, whatever.

We were super stoked when news of Argonauts broke. For those of you who forgot, the band features Dimitri Minakakis (ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan), John Adubato (Burnt By The Sun guitarist), Dave Witte (Burnt By The Sun drummer, Municipal Waste) and bassist Brett Bamburger (East of the Wall). They played their first show at the ...
It seems like there's a new supergroup announced every week now, but few such projects get us excited the way news of Argonauts did. The outfit - which features original Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Dimitri Minakakis, Burnt by the Sun guitarist John Adubato, East of the Wall bassist Brett Bamberger, and legendary drummer Dave Witte from Municipal Waste, [...]
