Richmond’s metal band Municipal Waste have released a new video for “Crank The Heat” featuring appearances by Iron Lung, Sick Of It All, Warthog and more. The music video is directed and produced by David Brodsky and Allison Woestof My Good Eye Visuals (Clutch, Cannibal Corpse, Gwar). The video clip follows Municipal Waste’s and friend’s wild shenanigans in the back of a New York City taxi.
“While everyone is getting cuffed up and starting to hunker down for the Holiday/Winter season, we thought now would be a good time to take you back to the glorious NYC Summer Heatwave of 2022. Shot all over Queens and beyond…join The Waste as we deliver our take on one of our favorite TV shows of all time: Taxi Cab Confessions. We hope you find this video for Crank the Heat to be a true scorcher as we look forward to warmer times ahead.” said vocalist Tony Foresta.
Municipal Waste have stayed true to themselves by staying as a hard hitting thrash metal band that has transformed different generations of metal music. Metal Hammer mentioned “The Art of Partying” one of “The 50 Greatest Thrash Metal Albums Ever,” whereas Loudwire said “The Art of Partying” as “The Best Thrash Album of 2007” and “Hazardous Mutation” as “The Best Thrash Album of 2005.”
The band has sold out shows around the world and they have racked tens of millions of streams in the process. 2017’s “Slime and Punishment” reached Top 3 of the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart and The Last Rager EP only reached the sky in 2019.
