Narcotic Wasteland Live at The Brooklyn Monarch NYC – Feb 19, 2026 | Photo Gallery
South Carolina death metal force Narcotic Wasteland tore through The Brooklyn Monarch on February 19, 2026, as part of the Praise The Beast North American Tour 2026. Sharing the stage with extreme metal heavyweights Belphegor, Incantation, and Hate, the band delivered a relentless set that reaffirmed their standing in the American death metal underground.
Led by former Nile guitarist/vocalist Dallas Toler-Wade, Narcotic Wasteland unleashed a precision-driven assault packed with razor-sharp riffing, punishing blast beats, and venomous vocal delivery. The Brooklyn crowd responded with immediate intensity circle pits ignited, heads banged in unison, and the room carried that unmistakable density that only true death metal can produce.
The band’s live performance balanced technicality with raw aggression, locking into tight transitions while maintaining a crushing, groove-laden backbone. Under stark red and green lighting, the atmosphere felt claustrophobic and feral — a fitting environment for the sonic devastation unfolding on stage.
This gallery captures the energy, precision, and brutality of Narcotic Wasteland’s NYC stop a night where the underground spirit was alive, loud, and uncompromising.
