ABOUT NILE
Founded by Karl Sanders (guitars, vocals), Chief Spires (bass, vocals) and Pete Hammoura (drums) in 1993, NILE released their first EP Festivals Of Atonement (1995) through their own label, Anubis Records. The band’s second EP Ramses Bringer Of War was released via Visceral Productions. Dallas Toler-Wade (guitars) joined the band in time to support the release of their first album Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka (1998), with NILE touring the US as support of the famous MORBID ANGEL, and Europe as support for VADER and SIX FEET UNDER. The debut was followed up by two other blasting records - Black Seeds Of Vengeance (2000) and In Their Darkened Shrines (2002). Drummer George Kollias joined the band in 2004, becoming the 4th legendary drummer to occupy the drum throne of NILE. Several long months of intense songwriting and pre-production by the band culminated with the release of their paramount album Annihilation of The Wicked (2005). NILE’s continuing success led the band to signing with the record label par excellence Nuclear Blast; releasing NILE’s NB label debut finally in 2007, called Ithyphallic. A two month long blitzkrieg tour as support on Ozzfest in the USA brought the band to the attention of a much wider, diverse audience; gaining new NILE fans across a wide demographic and expanding the band into new touring opportunities worldwide.

After releasing their remarkable follow-up albums Those Whom The Gods Detest (2009) and At The Gate Of Sethu (2012), NILE are ready to unleash their new, eighth bone-crushing masterpiece to the masses now - What Should Not Be Unearthed.
The band had only one goal for their new record: “The goal for the new record was sheer epic brutality,” guitarist Karl Sanders jokes, but then he answers seriously: “Really though, the focus this time around is on brutal Heavy Metal riffing and songwriting; kind of like of an »Annihilation Of The Wicked« approach but very streamlined to achieve maximum destructive impact. So we believe that we have a truly crushing disc to bring to metal fans. Although Unearthed is still full of the kind of undeniable musicianship people have come to.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
