At Scorpion Percussion, we take pride in standing behind the hardest-hitting drummers in the game. Our signature artist Joseph Howard, powerhouse drummer for Narcotic Wasteland, is about to unleash a month-long storm across Europe—and we couldn’t be more excited to see our sticks in action on one of the heaviest tours of the year.
Formed by Dallas Toler-Wade (ex-Nile), Narcotic Wasteland has carved a reputation for pushing the limits of modern extreme metal. Their unrelenting sound blends razor-sharp technicality with raw intensity, exploring dark and real-world themes. With Joseph behind the kit, the band’s ferocity reaches another level—precision, speed, and power locked in with Scorpion Percussion sticks built for destruction.
The Tour: Annihilation of Europe Presented by Timeframe Booking and DNA Entertainment, Annihilation of Europe will take the band to over 25 cities in 13 countries, proving that Narcotic Wasteland is a force impossible to ignore. Kicking off in Oslo, Norway on November 13, and closing out in Barcelona, Spain on December 16, the tour hits everywhere from London to Belgrade, from Krakow to Madrid, and every metal stronghold in between.
Highlights include: • November 21 – Alkmaar, Netherlands (Herrie Metal Fest) • December 8 – Belgrade, Serbia (Bleed to Death Fest) • December 15 – Madrid, Spain (Wurlitzer Ballroom) • December 16 – Barcelona, Spain (Sala Deskomunal)
Why This Matters For Joseph Howard, this is more than a tour—it’s a statement. Backed by Scorpion Percussion sticks, his drumming is the driving pulse behind Narcotic Wasteland’s brutal precision. We know our gear was built for moments like this: month-long international tours where endurance, tone, and strength can’t be compromised.
From the Scorpion Den We’re proud to have Joseph Howard in the Scorpion family. His playing represents everything we stand for—durability, discipline, and the power to move crowds. Europe, get ready: when Joseph Howard and Narcotic Wasteland roll through your city, you’re not just attending a concert. You’re entering a wasteland.
