ART OF ANARCHY IS BACK!

The band has entered into a Renaissance rebirth with a darker more sinister edge. Founding members Jon Votta (guitar), Vince Votta (drums) and guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal (former Guns N' Roses / Sons Of Apollo) welcome the talents of vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (former Yngwie Malmsteen / Sons Of Apollo) and bassist Tony Dickinson (SOTO / Trans-Siberian Orchestra) into this new line-up.

The band returns after six years with the new single & music video VILIFIED out now and the comeback album LET THERE BE ANARCHY to be released early 2024.

Dallas Toler-Wade, long-standing 18-year member of the brilliantly Egyptian-themed metal band, Nile, composed the music for hit songs such as, “Execration Text” (NILE – “Execration Text” (Official Music Video), which featured the band’s second video release on MTV Headbangers Ball and the Uranium channel. The video was well received and aired for several weeks. “Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld”, 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, “Lashed to the Slave Stick”, Evil to Cast Out Evil NILE – Evil To Cast Out Evil (OFFICIAL TRACK & LYRICS) ), “Wind of Horus”, “The Eye of Ra” and many others. Toler-Wade was also featured in Guitar World magazine alongside founding member and guitarist/vox/songwriter Karl Sanders,

Dallas Toler-Wade started Narcotic Wasteland while he was in between tours with Nile. 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 “Morality and the Wasp” and going on a US tour with German heavy metal legends Accept.

Toler-Wade shares his hope for the single’s reception:

“I 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.”

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.

The tour with Accept consists of 18 dates across the US during October (dates listed below). Those who attend will get to experience the full onslaught of Narcotic Wasteland. 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.

Tour Promo Video – https://youtu.be/XeakgV7BY60

A decisive blend of thrash, death, and black metal with a hearty dose of punk for good measure, Narcotic Wasteland keeps listeners engaged with full-throttle riffs, punchy bass lines, and relentless drums. They are recommended listening for fans of Vader, The Crown, and Nile.

The single “Morality and the Wasp” can be heard at the following links:

About:

Narcotic Wasteland started as a side project Dallas Toler-Wade had been working on the past few years when he was not touring or in the writing/studio with metal heavyweights “Nile.”

‘So I just started writing some songs kind of more in the style of things I was playing before my time in Nile. The more we started working on these demos the more we wanted to complete an album and take it to the stage!!! Our observation of what was going on in parts of the town we grew up in and in other parts of the world fueled a new level of angst for me personally.” DTW

The band, which includes guitarist and founding member Wolf Hoffmann, has defined the international genre since they formed in Solingen, Germany in 1976, reigning as one of the most important German rock bands in the 80s alongside the Scorpions, while also influencing bands such as #Metallica, #Slayer, #GunsNRoses and #IronMaiden. Now, the metal legends are coming back to the states, poised to kick off their headlining "Too Mean To Die - Tour #NorthAmerica 2022" this fall, featuring #NarcoticWasteland as openers.

Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann comments: "After two difficult years, I am very much looking forward to returning to the USA and playing in front of our American friends again. Let’s rock out and have a great Accept metal party with all of you headbanging metal veterans out there!"

Fans can expect a diverse set-list of new and classic tracks, plus mega-hits "Balls To The Wall", "Princess Of The Dawn", "Fast As A Shark" and many more. See below for all dates. VIP experiences will be available - stay tuned for more information coming soon!

When Accept first launched at the end of the 70s, the metal genre didn't even exist. At first, the band could only be labelled with the (quality) seal "crazy loud and crazy wild". Today, fans know that this was (and is) metal par excellence. Accept also opened the door to thrash metal, inspiring giants such as Metallica. Guitarist #KirkHammett even recently stated in the German magazine Gitarre & Bass: "Wolf Hoffmann has a huge influence on me."

A worldwide music phenomenon for more than 40 years, Accept still impress with razor-sharp guitar licks and a steel-hard sound. Countless world tours and headline slots at the biggest, cutting-edge festivals cemented the band's reputation as one of the best, hottest and most proficient live acts ever. In addition, they've sold millions of records and achieved gold status in the USA.

Now, with Too Mean To Die - which was mixed by long-time Accept producer Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Megadeth) - the band is sounding better than ever, with new additions Martin Motnik (bass) and Philip Shouse (guitar) strengthening the line-up even further, forming an unbeatable team. Firing on all cylinders, this is Accept turned up to eleven!

LEGENDARY HEAVY METAL BASSIST RUDY SARZO TO RETURN TO QUIET RIOT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

August 2nd, 2021

LEGENDARY HEAVY METAL BASSIST RUDY SARZO TO RETURN TO QUIET RIOT

QUIET RIOT is set to welcome RUDY SARZO back into the band after an 18-year absence. Rudy

was one of the original founding members of the legendary Metal Health lineup. He played bass

on the "Metal Health" album, which sold over ten million copies and spawned the hits "Cum On

Feel The Noize" and "Metal Health" and on the follow-up record "Condition Critical". He

appeared in the most notable music videos in the MTV age and toured with the band until 1985

and again from 1997 to 2003. During his years out of the band, Rudy Sarzo was a member of

Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Dio, Blue Oyster Cult, Queensryche, and The Guess Who. Rudy is

looking forward to recording and touring with Quiet Riot beginning in 2022.

With the move, longtime Quiet Riot bassist Chuck Wright is graciously stepping aside to

continue his recent solo efforts while heightening his role with his award-winning residency

show, "Ultimate Jam Night" at the legendary "Whisky A Go-Go" which all the members of Quiet

Riot fully support.

The band and their management would like to formally thank Chuck Wright for his many years

of dedication and perseverance and, most importantly, his distinguished talent. Wright has

served off-and-on with Quiet Riot for nearly 40 years, appears on nine albums, and is known as

the bassist for Quiet Riot's mega-hit "Metal Health" (Bang Your Head) and "Don't Wanna Let

You Go". He was a contributing songwriter on 1986's "QRIII" and appeared in the band's video

for "The Wild And The Young," among others. Wright has been one of the band's longest

touring and recording members and will continue touring with the band through the end of

2021. Chuck is and will always be an invaluable member of the Quiet Riot family.

Rudy Sarzo said "I'm excited to be back home and celebrate the Quiet Riot Legacy, which began

40 years ago next year with the recording of "Metal Health", the first heavy metal album to

reach #1 on the Billboard top 200 albums chart."
