"'Return to the Underground' is sort of a celebration of all art that is uncompromising, and artists who stick to their guns and create from the heart and soul regardless of how popular it makes them," says Dallas Toler-Wade. "It's metal for metals sake, which is what we in NARCOTIC WASTELAND are about. No dressing up fancy. No smoke and mirrors. No vague message deeply hidden within big fancy words that may sound cool together, but mean absolutely nothing. No f-cking filter."

Delirium Tremens was produced and mixed by NARCOTIC WASTELAND at Vegas View Recording and Dallas' home studio. For mixing, the band tapped Grammy award winning producer Neil Kernon at Auslander, with mastering by metal producer-elite Alan Douches at West West Side Music.

Delirium Tremens shines a spotlight on negative human behavior, inspired by - but not entirely based on - our country's addiction epidemic. NARCOTIC WASTELAND named their new album after the title track, which is about delirium tremens, the medical term for symptoms an alcoholic suffers after about three days without a drink. Over the years, many of Toler-Wade's friends and family have fallen into the abyss of addiction, and some have never returned. of remaining silent about the scourge that has surrounded him, the band addresses it throughout Delirium Tremens.

Delirium Tremens is a dramatic musical evolution from the band's first release. Not only is the production better, the chemistry between Ed Rhone and Toler-Wade is impeccable, each feeling out and feeding off of the other's playing. And bassist Chris Dupre and drummer Phil Cancilla form a whirlwind rhythm section that's tighter than a locked door. Coupled with trenchant grooves and impacting vocals, Delirium Tremens is more than an homage to the band's favorite musicians, it's a new style wrought from some of the best pages of the past.
