NILE
NILE – Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka [Reissue]
USA Brutal/Technical Death Metal
Themes: Egyptian mythology, Death, Rituals, Lovecraft
Origin: Greenville, South Carolina, United States
Status: Active
Formed in: 1993
Current label: Napalm Records
Years active: 1993-present
In the late 1980s, prior to forming Nile,
Karl Sanders played with the thrash band Morriah and shared 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 categorizes its music as "Ithyphallic Metal", in reference to its epic Egyptian themes
