The video was well received and aired for several weeks. \u201cPermitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld\u201d, is also a fan favorite. The video release was long after the demise of Headbangers Ball. Dallas also composed music for many other hits like, \u201cLashed to the Slave Stick\u201d, Evil to Cast Out Evil\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FmX_lGwL1l4\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NILE \u2013 Evil To Cast Out Evil (OFFICIAL TRACK &amp; LYRICS)<\/a>\u00a0), \u201cWind of Horus\u201d, \u201cThe Eye of Ra\u201d and many others. Toler-Wade was also featured in Guitar World magazine alongside founding member and guitarist\/vox\/songwriter Karl Sanders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dallas Toler-Wade<\/strong>\u00a0started<strong>\u00a0Narcotic Wasteland\u00a0<\/strong>while he was in between tours with\u00a0<strong>Nile<\/strong>. He started writing music that was a little more similar to things he was doing in a previous band and since then he has completed writing for the third album and is currently finishing up the recording process. Ahead of that, they have released the single\u00a0<strong>\u201cMorality and the Wasp\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>and going on a US tour with German heavy metal legends\u00a0<strong>Accept<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toler-Wade\u00a0<\/strong>shares his hope for the single\u2019s reception:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think fans will really enjoy it. The band has grown majorly and this album sounds like a band that is focused on writing, recording, and performing the very best we can., but also I think I am getting better at just writing stuff that is meaningful and powerful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For Toler-Wade, who is the primary songwriter for the band, the main goal is to give the listener music and lyrics that are deeply emotionally charged. Anger, sadness, and triumph are put to music the best way he knows how. The new album has a lot to say about human behavior and unchecked egos as well as his own personal philosophies about life.<\/p>\n<p>The tour with\u00a0<strong>Accept\u00a0<\/strong>consists of 18 dates across the US during October (dates listed below). Those who attend will get to experience the full onslaught of\u00a0<strong>Narcotic Wasteland<\/strong>. Always well rehearsed, they deliver a tight performance including dual guitars. From harmonies to counterpart melodies it gives the band some of that traditional metal style. They are also not afraid to challenge the audience with an array of styles from whiplash-inducing fast metal to infectious arena metal.<\/p>\n<p>Tour Promo Video \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/XeakgV7BY60\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/XeakgV7BY60<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A decisive blend of thrash, death, and black metal with a hearty dose of punk for good measure,\u00a0<strong>Narcotic Wasteland<\/strong>\u00a0keeps listeners engaged with full-throttle riffs, punchy bass lines, and relentless drums.
