municipalwaste.jpgBlabbermouth reports that British weekly music magazine NME has jumped aboard the thrash resurgence and openly declared that "thrash is back" in this week's issue. Reaching out to a more mainstream market, the NME delves into the upcoming artists exploding out of the genre and describes thrash as "a style of music that makes you want to pour lager over your head and jump off speaker stacks."

Focusing on thrash as "a place where life can be celebrated and consumed," writer James McMahon presents Merseyside thrashers S.S.S., Dublin's GAMA BOMB, North Carolina's SANCTITY, new Earache signing EVILE and Virginian crossover thrash masters MUNICIPAL WASTE as the new breed. Speaking to the NME, MUNICIPAL WASTE's Ryan Waste describes thrash as "the most honest form of music" and states "It's aggressive, there's no frills to it, it's straightforward and it's angry but in a positive way — because you're letting it through. You're circle-pitting, you're stage diving, you're using your energy and getting out aggression."
