Watch Municipal Waste - Live at Wacken 2007

Municipal Waste - Live at Wacken 2007 is a music documentary capturing the live performance of the Virginia-based thrash metal band Municipal Waste at the world-famous Wacken Open Air Festival in 2007. The movie showcases the band's electrifying performance that cemented their reputation as one of the most prominent names in the resurgence of the crossover thrash genre.

The movie starts with the introduction of Municipal Waste's band members, Tony Foresta as the lead singer, Ryan Waste on guitars, LandPhil on bass, and Dave Witte on drums. The band members hype the crowd with their high energy performance, and the stage setup of Wacken's massive festival adds to the entire atmosphere with its excellent lighting effects and sound quality.

The first song of the concert, "Deathripper," sets the tone for the rest of the performance, as the band showcases their intensity and speed, and the crowd responds with equal fervor, jumping and headbanging in unison. Municipal Waste's trademark humor is on full display as Tony interacts with the crowd, cracking jokes and sharing anecdotes, playing up their punk influences.

The second song, "Drunk as Shit," intensifies the energy, and the crowd reciprocates, forming a massive moshpit, and showering each other with alcohol. The band moves on to tracks like "Mind Eraser," "Terror Shark," and "The Thrashin' of the Christ" as the frenzy in the audience reaches its peak, and the band's relentless thrash rhythms keep the moshing going non-stop.

Municipal Waste's musicianship is impressive throughout the concert. Ryan Waste and LandPhil's guitar and bass work is tight, and Dave Witte's drumming is lightning-fast, as the band moves through their setlist at a breakneck pace. Tony's vocals range from guttural growls to high-pitched screams, and his use of the microphone stand as a prop adds to the overall theatrics of the performance.

The highlight of the concert comes with the song "Unleash the Bastards," where Tony divides the crowd into two halves, challenging them to create the most significant circle pit that the Wacken stage has ever seen. The result is a massive pit that spans the entire width of the festival ground, and the crowd's energy reaches its climactic high, with Municipal Waste's music as the soundtrack.

The concert ends with "Born To Party," one of the band's most popular tracks. The band members express their gratitude to the crowd, and the audience responds with loud cheers and applause. The band's encore includes two more songs, "Terror Shark" and "Mutants of War," both offering ample opportunity for the crowd to let loose and thrash around.

Overall, Municipal Waste - Live at Wacken 2007 is a must-watch for anyone interested in thrash metal and crossover thrash. The band's on-stage energy and humor, coupled with Wacken's grandeur, make for an unforgettable concert experience. The movie captures the essence of Municipal Waste's music, which is both high-speed and irreverent, a perfect match for the concert's lively environment.
