NILE To Tour Europe In November/December

April 8, 2009

South Carolina-based technical death metal band NILE will embark on a European headlining tour in November/December. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon. A follow-up trek covering many of the places not included on the 2009 tour will take place sometime in 2010.

NILE is currently working on material for its sixth full-length album, tentatively due this summer/fall via Nuclear Blast Records. Guitarist/vocalist Karl Sanders recently told Revolver magazine that the CD will likely be NILE's most eclectic offering to date. "We're going to some very unexpected places," he said. "I've been listening to some oud music [the oud is a Middle Eastern lute — Ed.], Iranian music, and some Hindu stuff, and that stuff's definitely rubbing off on the new songs."

Karl Sanders's second solo album, "Saurian Exorcisms", is scheduled for release on April 14 via The End Records. The CD — which was recorded at Serpent Headed Studios, mixed by Bob Moore at the Soundlab in Columbia, South Carolina, and mastered by Juan Punchy Gonzalez at D.O.W. Studios in Tampa, Florida — contains nine carefully constructed dark cinematic songs that work in harmony to create a uniquely moving emotional experience.

Fan-filmed video footage of NILE's September 2, 2008 performance at Futurum in Prague, Czech Republic can be viewed below (clip uploaded by YouTube user "Anachronoux").

NILE's fifth studio album, "Ithyphallic", came out on July 17, 2007 via Nuclear Blast. Engineered by Bob Moore and produced by Neil Kernon (CANNIBAL CORPSE, NEVERMORE, DEICIDE),the CD was recorded at Sound Lab Studios in Columbia, South Carolina.
