"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Nile fans in the States a last round of touring supporting the ‘What Should Not Be Unearthed‘ album. Teaming up with Soulfly is going to make for a killer package sure to please Metal Fans.

Metal will Take Place!"

Ex-Nile Vocalist Announces Narcotic Wasteland
Narcotice Wasteland, the now full-time project of former Nile frontman Dallas Toler-Wade, is set to release new music soon. To satisfy fans in the meantime, the band has re-issued pervious 2014 self-titled debut album, "Narcotic Wasteland," out today via Megaforce Records/MRI.
Dallas states: "I left Nile for many other reasons that will remain undisclosed, not just for the reasons they detailed in their statement, which were 'to focus on my own plans and recordings.' That quote didn't come from me.
"I was already putting a lot of my time and energy into Narcotic Wasteland when Nile was not busy writing or touring. My intention was to do shows and albums with Narcotic Wasteland on the flipside, because I like to stay busy. I will continue to write and perform music on whatever level I can for as long as I can. From now on, Narcotice Wasteland will be my main musical focus."
The band's underlying concept is reflective of its namesake and the city where Dallas, Edwin, and Chris grew up. Fayetteville, North Carolina, a military town, has a PTSD rate of up to 75% in males and is the highest rated city in the U.S. for Shaken Baby Syndrome. The availability of street drugs is astounding and the ever growing epidemic of addiction to pharmaceutical drugs is an extremely toxic and unstable environment to grow up and live in. More...
New Bands Added To Brutal Assault 2017
A bunch of new bands have been announced for the 22nd edition of Brutal Assault, which takes place this year in Fortress Josefov near Jaromer in the Czech Republic on August 9-12. Returning once more are heavy-weights Hatebreed, who last graced the fortress stages in 2012 and 2013. This is reportedly in response to festival-goers requests for more hardcore in the line-up.
The Dillinger Escape Plan will be including the festival in their series of farewell dates. It looks like the band's appearance here won't be affected by the bus crash that caused some European tour dates to be cancelled last month. Dillinger last played Brutal Assault in 2015.
Thrash veterans Overkill, touring in support of their recently released 18th studio album, "The Grinding Wheel", have also been added. No stranger to the fortress stage, Overkill last appeared at the festival in 2013.
Helsinki's Wintersun are newcomers to Brutal Assault, appearing for the first time. Can we assume they will be playing material from their long-awaited third album? There's no official word as yet. More...
Arcanorum Astrum Premieres "The Great One"
Russian symphonic blackened death metal unit Arcanorum Astrum premieres the title-track of the band's upcoming second album, "The Great One", which will be out in stores this April or May. The track features also a guest solo by none other than Karl Sanders of Nile.
Check out now "The Great One" below.
Nile Recruits New Member
Nile will embark on a next tour in support of "What Should Not Be Unearthed" today - February 14th, 2017 - alongside Overkill while visiting 24 cities across America. The band today also announces that Dallas Toler-Wade has decided to leave Nile to focus on his own plans and recordings.
This tour also marks the debut of Nile’s newest member, guitarist / vocalist Brian Kingsland. After this tour, the band is scheduled to return to Europe this Summer for a series of metal festivals followed by a WSNBU-Latin America tour.
Nile is already working on songs for the band's next album, which will be recorded in late 2017 for an early 2018 release. More info will be released in the coming months.
Karl Sanders comments: "I would like to personally thank Dallas Toler-Wade for his many years with the band, and sincerely wish him well with his music. All of us in Nile are truly happy and thankful to be working with Brian. Not only is he a seriously talented extreme metal guitar shredder, but he has a great brutal metal voice, with a very versatile range.
"Brian is also a genuine, down-to-earth hard-working and motivated guy who has helped reignite and re-establish a sense of team work back into Nile. With the addition of Brian on guitar and vocals, the band right now seems to me a lot more like the early years of Nile - the classic Nile era when we were all functioning as a cohesive unit, in viciously brutal triple vocal attack mode.

Gojira, Nile Drop Off 70,000 Tons Of Metal Roster
Just a week before the seventh installment of 70,000 Tons of Metal shoves off from Port Everglades, Florida bound for Labadee, Haiti - UMC promoter Andy announced that Gojira and Nile were forced from the roster. This brings the total bands to 57, with one and two replacement acts left to be revealed.
The announcement reads: "Sailors! This is your Skipper speaking. Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share with you.
"Gojira will not be joining us on board next week. This is due to a serious medical issue of a very close family member that requires them to get back home at a moment's notice should the situation get worse. This is possible while they are on tour in their home country, but not while they are on a ship at Sea at the other end of the world. I am sure I speak for all of us when I send this message to France: Nous souhaitons de tout cœur beaucoup de force et de confiance, ainsi qu'un bon rétablissement!
"If that was not enough bad news, there's more. We will also be sailing without Nile. The situation there is that their new bass player will not receive his visa in time for the cruise. Normally he would not need one if they would only play the cruise, but since they are also going on tour in the US right afterwards he unfortunately needs a US work visa. Together with their management I tried to move heaven and earth to make this happen but at this point we are simply out of time.
"Trust me that I am as frustrated as all of you about this situation. I am working around the clock to fill this gap it has created in our line-up.
"I will make sure that we have adequate replacements on board 70,000 Tons of Metal, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise. Stay tuned!"

Report
The Summer Slaughter Tour At Concord Music Hall
I'll admit that I've been out of the death metal scene for a few years and mostly listening to a lot of already established artists at the expense of new ones. In fact, I haven't been to a Summer Slaughter since 2011. So it was good to see a concert full of artists who I mostly haven't seen yet. Some really impressed me, other didn't. Either way, I wanted to be surprised by hearing artists who I mostly wasn't familiar with.
This year's Summer Slaughter Tour was primarily backed by Sumerian Records (who were also a major backer of Chicago Open Air) as a promotion of Sumerian's upcoming entry into films with American Satan. I'd normally have a problem with the biggest annual heavy metal tour in North America being rendered into a commercial for something completely unrelated but the former bearer of that torch was really just an advertisement for Monster Energy Drink.
