Denver DeathFest begins three days of musical mayhem with dozens of metal bands on 4/20 at Trailside Saloon.
guitarist Dallas Toler-Wade in 2011. In the beginning, he focused on the band only when he had downtime between touring and recording with the legendary ancient Egyptian-themed technical death-metal outfit from South Carolina. But it was obvious early on that he'd tapped into something with Narcotic Wasteland. As the group grew in scope, Toler-Wade left Nile in 2016 to focus on his new act full-time.
Narcotic Wasteland showcases Toler-Wade’s penchant for writing killer riffs, which he did for a decade as a member of Nile, in a manner that’s reminiscent of early 1990s metal — when the lines between the “thrash” and “death” tags weren’t as rigidly defined, and everything just sounded fast and heavy as all hell.
The North Carolina native adds that he always aims to lock into that innate type of playing, whether he’s writing by himself or performing at a festival in front of thousands of metalheads. It sounds simple enough, and maybe it is after doing it for so long, but for anyone who has heard Toler-Wade destroy a fret board, the question of how he, or anyone, does that, exactly, is still a bit of a mystery. Of course, as he says, practice makes perfect, and having a solid foundation built on general musical knowledge helps. But at some point, an aspiring guitarist has to take it upon themselves and own the instrument.
