Having released their brand new album two months ago Nile have just begun their latest chapter in the band’s extreme life. Yet another chapter that has been opened for the Pharaoh worshipping Death Metal king pins. Stating in our previous chat that the new album brings the focus back to the idea of the age old brutality of Death Metal, the record has unfairly been classified as sounding very samey. We were lucky enough to speak to Karl Sanders, Nile main man for a second time this year, asking exactly what the reaction to What Should Not Be Unearthed was like from the fans, what some of his favourite Egyptian mythology might be and is the new album the first evidence of the band bringing modern day ideologies with a Nile type filter? Listen to the full unedited interview below before we saw them destroy Tufnell Park’s The Dome.
An Interview With : Karl Sanders (Nile)
Poised to release their brand new album What Should Not Be Unearthed later this week, Nile are embarking on their brand new journey. Delivering a record that is decidedly their most punishing yet, whilst also ushering the band into the modern day. Set to tour the world over in support of the new record, the first stop will a European Tour. Nevertheless before that we were lucky enough to speak to Karl Sanders the band’s Egyptologist and guitarist extraordinaire about the brand new album, how the band got their name, what birthed the idea for the explanation of the lyrics in the booklet and of course whether or not they had ever been to Egypt!
