9/14/25 - Narcotic Wasteland at Live at the Shop, Dunbar WV
Fourteen years into his two-decade tenure with acclaimed Greenville, South Carolina technical death metal band Nile, guitarist and vocalist Dallas Toler-Wade was itching to explore new musical and lyrical frontiers. So he hooked up with some old buddies from his hometown Fayetteville, North Carolina and started writing old-school death metal inspired by some of their favorite bands, including Gorguts, Immolation, Incantation and Suffocation. Unlike Nile, which wrote album after album about Egyptian history, theology and the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Narcotic Wasteland isnt purely a concept band.
Over the years, many of Toler-Wades friends and family have fallen into the abyss of addiction. And some never returned. Its a tragic byproduct of growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a military town where male residents have a PTSD rate as high as 75% and there are the most reported incidents of shaken baby syndrome in the country. Lots of Fayettevilles disenchanted population chooses to escape misery through street drugs, prescription medication and alcohol. Instead of remaining silent about the scourge that has surrounded him, Toler-Wade addresses it throughout their album Delirium Tremens.
On this tour, they are playing a couple of songs from Dallass days with Nile, in addition to a full set of Narcotic Wastelands original material.
Local support provided by Dark Druid, Onikuma, Executionist, and Concussed on Concrete.
