MUNICIPAL WASTE - COMPLETE FILMING OF NEW MUSIC VIDEO, "SADISTIC MAGICIAN"

It is quite common for parents to tell their children not to play in
sewage...lucky for us MUNICIPAL WASTE totally ignored that advice.

Last weekend, everyone's favorite thrashers from Richmond, VA paid a visit
to the formidable Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant in Playa del Ray, CA to
film a brand new music video for the song "Sadistic Magician" - off of
2007's modern metal classic, THE ART OF PARTYING. 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 video features the band performing
"Sadistic Magician" inside of 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 80's 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."

Expect the radioactively insane video for MUNICIPAL WASTE's "Sadistic
Magician" out soon. In the meantime, check out a few photos from last
weekend's shoot right now:
