US Extreme Metallers Narcotic Wasteland (Ex-Nile Guitarist Dallas Toler-Wade) To Start European Tour This Week!

U.S. extreme metal outfit Narcotic Wasteland, the brainchild of former Nile guitarist Dallas Toler-Wade, are set to kick off their highly anticipated European tour this week. Following their successful run across the United States, the band will bring their crushing sound overseas with newly added dates in Sheffield and Nottingham. In addition to performing their own blistering material, Narcotic Wasteland will also commemorate the 20th anniversary of Nile’s Annihilation of the Wicked by performing the two tracks Dallas originally composed, “The Burning Pits of the Duat” and “Lashed to the Slave Stick”.

Speaking ahead of the tour, Toler-Wade has said this of returning to Europe:
“I am very excited to bring my band, Narcotic Wasteland, back to Europe. We’ll be performing songs both old and new, along with the two Nile songs I wrote for the Annihilation of the Wicked album, ‘Lashed to the Slave Stick’ and ‘The Burning Pits of the Duat’ — in celebration of its 20th anniversary. This will truly be a must-see performance, as I will not be playing these songs again. Don’t miss it!”

Narcotic Wasteland is a relentless force in the metal scene, delivering a crushing blend of technical precision, unyielding aggression, and raw energy. Fronted by Dallas Toler-Wade—renowned vocalist and guitarist best known for his work with Nile—he brings his signature technical prowess and intense energy to the band. On this tour, in celebration of the 20-year release of “Annihilation of the Wicked”, Dallas will perform two of the songs he wrote for the album: ‘Lashed to the Slave Stick’ and The ‘Burning Pits of the Duat’, giving Nile fans the unique opportunity to hear these tracks played live by the original voice and composer.

On drums, Joseph Howard unleashes a torrent of precision and power, driving the band’s pummeling rhythms with thunderous intensity. His dynamic performance creates the perfect foundation for the band’s heavy and often dark sonic atmosphere.

Kenji Tsunami commands the low end with inventive, hard-hitting bass lines that add both depth and texture, solidifying the band’s signature wall of sound. His stage presence and musicianship bring an extra dimension to Narcotic Wasteland’s live assault.

Together, Dallas, Joseph, and Kenji forge an unstoppable musical unit—one that captivates audiences with high-octane performances and uncompromising compositions. With unmatched technical skill and a shared vision for pushing metal’s boundaries, Narcotic Wasteland stands as a true powerhouse in today’s extreme music landscape.
