Equipped with a crushing sound that will implode both your soul and skull, speed metal masters and Richmond Virginia locals MUNICIPAL WASTE barrel back onto the scene with their latest piece of toxic detritus Slime And Punishment! Their long awaited return has breathed a new life into this modern speed metal crossover project that was initially birthed in 2000. Being their sixth release, and their second on Nuclear Blast Records, it is no surprise the level of artistic freedom and creativity that was seamlessly pushed into this album.

Starting out playing their first live show on New Year’s Eve of 2000, MUNICIPAL WASTE released their debut self-titled EP and followed up shortly with their first full length record entitled Waste Em’ All in 2003. It wasn't long before they caught the attention of Earache Records and went on to release three more albums upon said label. In 2005 came Hazardous Mutation followed by The Art Of Partying in 2007, and then Massive Aggressive in 2009. At this point it was clear that MUNICIPAL WASTE had no intentions of leaving behind their heavy, unmistakable, speed-metal-intentions. In 2011 they caught the solid attention of Nuclear Blast Records and signed to the label, eventually releasing Fatal Feast in 2012.

As MUNICIPAL WASTE had been touring, traveling, and spending constant time on the road, it ended in them really wanting to take their time developing Slime And Punishment as well as preparing for its release. “We wanted it to be on our terms. We didn't want to put a record out just for the sake of releasing one every two years. It had to be quality material, and you can't force that so we took our time, bottom line” reflects founding member and guitarist Ryan Waste. The recording process was also different this time. With bassist Phil Hall studying the fine art of musical engineering, the band was able to record the album themselves before sending it off to Bill Metoyer (known for his work with the thrasher classics like SLAYER, W.A.S.P., LIZZY BORDEN and DARK ANGEL) in Hollywood, CA to be professionally mixed.

Adding new guitarist Nick Poulos into the mix in no way stopped MUNICIPAL WASTE from holding on to their sound and the core influences which have allowed the band to remain entrenched in the deep and brutal sound they have maintained for years. “It was pretty seamless getting him in. We've been a four piece our whole career with just me on guitar, so just adding that live element is cool for solos and dual harmonies, and it just sounds heavier. Playing a lot of outdoor shows and big festivals; the crunch is just so much more apparent now” says Waste. With a new album often comes new sound and with Poulos contributing to the song writing as well as there now being two guitarists at all, the sound erupting from this album is far more organic. “We wanted a heavier album in general. It's definitely beefed up a bit more. It's more similar to what we sound like live” states Ryan Waste. “Everyone brought stuff to the table. There was definitely more variety and it shows. This album has a lot more dynamic to it.”
