Ghoul, Necrot and Dead Heat are joining Municipal Waste on its Brainsqueeze Tour to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the band’s debut album, 2003’s Waste ‘Em All. This album earned Municipal Waste its name as a savior of the crossover genre, which is halfway between hardcore punk and thrash metal. Ghoul is a crossover thrash and death metal band based in Oakland, CA whose performances are shrouded in mystery; the band’s members are even known to wear bags on their heads during live performances. Necrot, also from Oakland, is a death metal and punk trio whose members can also be found in Acephalix, Vastum, Mortuous and Saviours. They are supporting their upcoming album, Lifeless Birth, which comes out Apr. 12. Dead Heat is a nardcore band hailing from the genre’s birthplace in Oxnard, CA. Though formed in 2016, its sound pays homage to this 1980s Southern California hardcore punk movement.
