The thrash crew teams with animator Pierre Mousquet for ghoulish graveyard getdown.
Almost ten years to the day of the release of Municipal Waste’s animated epic in “You’re Cut Off” the party thrash specialists have again teamed with animator Pierre Mousquet to create a brilliant visual for the band’s most recent ripper off of their Electrified Brain LP, with the track “Grave Dive”.
Waste frontman Tony Foresta explained how stoked the band was to work with the animation team to recapture the same creative lightning in a bottle. “We are very excited to premiere another video off the new record. We thought it would be a good idea to bring back Pierre and IMOV studios for another animated film since we loved the last one so much. This video has more Easter eggs than the holiday where Jesus died.”
The project’s animator and director Pierre Mousquet shared his pride in the resulting project and explained how Municipal Waste’s intensity gave him plenty to go off of. “Almost ten years after “You’re Cut Off,” I had the chance, once again, to dive into Municipal Waste’s awesome universe to create the “Grave Dive” animated video. The song gave me endless inspiration resulting in too many ideas to fit in a 2:32 long video. So don’t blink!”
Among the various cameos included in the feature that depicts Municipal Waste holding court in a graveyard, features animated appearances from the Toxic Avenger, Lemmy, The Ramones, Skeletor and even Scooby-Doo.
Municipal Waste is set to hit the road heavily in support of Electrified Brain with tour dates spanning the summer and stretching into the fall throughout North America and Europe. In North America, the Waste will be out with Swedish legends At the Gates. For the band’s European run, Municipal Waste will paired with Anthrax in celebration of the thrash pillars’ 40th anniversary run. Tickets for all dates can be found – HERE
