NARCOTIC WASTELAND’s New Music Video ‘Barbarian’ Encourages You To Break The Chains! Live! Be Free! And Find Your Own Path!

Narcotic Wasteland 2024

Gearing up to unleash their new album Digital Cordyceps out on Megaforce Records in 2024 (release date TBD) to follow their 2017 breakout sophomore album Delirium Tremens, NARCOTIC WASTELAND, fronted by ex-NILE guitarist/vocalist Dallas Toler-Wade along with drummer Joseph Howard (FIELDS OF ELYSIUM, NEUROMORPHIC) and bassist Kenji Tsunami (TEGMENTUM), the trio unveil their new music video for the single “Barbarian” that they shared this past summer before their 2024 Summer tour dates that were in honor of Wade‘s 50th birthday and the 10th anniversary of NARCOTIC WASTELAND‘s self-titled debut album.

Directed by NARCOTIC WASTELAND bassist Kenji Tsunami (Tsunami Films), the video showcases the sheer death thrash force of the band in the studio and live!

Dallas Toler-Wade comments on the track: “For me, ‘Barbarian’ is a prime example of me doing the thing I love and that defines me the most. Continuously striving to improve my craft as a musician and a songwriter. But also the overall message of this song. Live!!! Be free!!! Find your own path!!! Question everything!!! And also we don’t need politicians or religion to shape our moral centers. In fact, It seems they distort the truth every chance they get. This whole album cycle has seemed to have this recurring theme about the narcissistic oligarchy that we have all fallen victim to. I Dallas Toler- Wade the barbarian will fight this mockery until I leave the land of the living, and even after that, my powerful voice will echo through the halls of time!!! Because I am a barbarian!!!”
