Wasteland is the fifth album by Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, released in 2018.
A dystopian concept record, it follows loosely connected characters in a decaying city. The band shifts from their earlier heavy, fuzzed-out sound toward a more cinematic style—using keyboards, interludes, and a steady, atmospheric pace. Vocals from Kevin Starrs are more subdued, matching the album’s cold, narrative-driven tone.
