MUNICIPAL WASTE Interviewed At UK's DOWNLOAD Festival; Video Available

June 16, 2008

Kerrang! conducted an interview with Virginian thrashers MUNICIPAL WASTE at this year's Download festival, which was held June 13-15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK. Watch the three-minute clip below.

"Sadistic Magician", the new video from MUNICIPAL WASTE, can be viewed at this location. The clip was shot last month at the formidable Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant in Playa del Ray, California. Directed by Jeff Speed of 1134 Films and produced by Carolyn Vye of The Vault LA (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AS I LAY DYING, MADINA LAKE),the clip features the band performing "Sadistic Magician" inside an extremely volatile nuclear power plant. The plant can't handle the manic energy of MUNICIPAL WASTE and starts falling apart, causing absolute gory mayhem to befall the citizens and wildlife of the areas surrounding it.

Director Jeff Speed comments on the video: "Humor, horror, metal and mayhem have always been a winning combination. It's '80s 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."

"Sadistic Magician" comes off MUNICIPAL WASTE's 2007 album "The Art Of Partying".

Catch MUNICIPAL WASTE this July as they tour the U.S. with legendary metal innovators AT THE GATES alongside DARKEST HOUR and TOXIC HOLOCAUST.
