Crossover thrash greats Municipal Waste will head out on the Brainsqueeze Tour in early 2024, bringing — as always — a lineup of heavy bands worth getting there early for. This time it’s a California-heavy bill with Creepsylvania deathy thrashers Ghoul, death metal greats Necrot, and fellow crossover thrashers Dead Heat (who released a great new EP this year). The tour is an homage to the Tankcrimes Brainsqueeze festivals in Oakland, CA that were last held a decade ago. It’s also a 21st anniversary celebration of Municipal Waste’s 2003 debut, Waste ‘Em All.
The Brainsqueeze tour starts February 15 in Washington, DC and wraps up in MW’s hometown of Richmond, VA on March 15, with a NYC stop at Brooklyn Monarch on 2/17. Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday, November 10 at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
In related news, Chad of Necrot’s other death metal band Vastum has an album coming out on their longtime label home of 20 Buck Spin this Friday (11/10). Don’t miss the latest relase from one of our faves.
