Metalheads, brace yourselves! Narcotic Wasteland is back with a vengeance, ready to shred stages across North America this summer. Kicking off their 2024 tour on May 31st, the trio celebrates guitarist Dallas Toler-Wade's 50th birthday and the 10th anniversary of their self-titled debut with the release of their scorching new single, "Barbarian". This beast of a track is a taste of what’s to come from their upcoming third album, "Digital Cordyceps", set to drop later this year via Megaforce Records.
"Barbarian" is a personal favorite for Toler-Wade, combining thrashy guitar riffs with a neo-classical twist and those signature mid-tempo churning bass drums. Lyrically, it’s a raw, unapologetic reflection on living life on your own terms in a world dominated by oligarchic power structures. "I follow no rules but my own", Toler-Wade declares, embodying the song's defiant spirit. Check out "Barbarian" on YouTube or pre-save it digitally to experience this anthem of rebellion and self-determination.
