Nile guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland sat out the band’s recent U.S. tour in order to spend time with his newborn son. Filling in for him was Scott Eames (Thy Antichrist, Nevalra). Featuring support from Incantation, Sanguisugabogg and I Am, the trek kicked off on February 3 in Nashville, Tennessee, visiting several major cities before wrapping in Spartanburg, South Carolina on March 12.

Originally hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, international death metal legends Nile have become one of the most revered names in the worldwide heavy metal scene today, combining extreme traditional and technical death metal styles with their trademarked blend of Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern soundscapes and historical mysticism.

Nile‘s ninth studio album, “Vile Nilotic Rites”, was released in November 2019 via Nuclear Blast. The disc was recorded and produced by Karl Sanders at Serpent Headed Studios in Greenville, South Carolina, with the exception of the drums which were recorded at Esoteron Music Studios in Athens, Greece with engineering handled by Jim Touras and George Dovolos. The album was mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis at MRL Studios. For the album artwork, the band returned to artist Michal “Xaay” Loranc who had worked with the band for over 10 years.

Last September, Nile announced that it had signed a worldwide contract with Napalm Records.
