Greenville, SC death metal band NILE are busy working in the studio as of late on material for their next album and follow-up to 2015’s What Should Not Be Unearthed. Now the band have shared some photos of the studio sessions with Karl Sanders and guitarist Brian Kingsland at Serpent Headed Studios in South Carolina. View HERE.
Nile was formed in 1993 and has been unleashing brutal Egyptian and Lovecraftian inspired Death Metal upon the masses non-stop ever since. Take a listen and you will discover an epic array of soundscapes filled with brutal, technical, unique, and legendary metal!
Every album holds its own unique character, leading many long-time fans to pick a “favorite”, which is always challenged by the next latest release.
Despite the odd misconception that Nile’s members are of Egyptian descent, none are; they do, however, have an interest in Egyptian mythology, especially Karl Sanders.
In the late 1980s, prior to forming Nile, Sanders played with the thrash metal band Morriah, sharing the stage with Morbid Angel among other prominent metal bands. In fact, Nile’s first demo was markedly redolent of that thrash identity, which outweighed any of the death metal elements that would later define the band’s sound.
The band categorize their music as “Ithyphallic Metal” in reference to its epic Egyptian themes.
