“The songs on the new album are more concise, streamlined, with less extrenuous elements: it’s very metal” – interview with Nile’s Karl Sanders

Nile fearlessly face the planet’s inevitable end with zero histrionics on their 10th album, “The Underworld Awaits Us All,” out August 23 via Napalm Records. The album follows the band’s critically acclaimed 2019 album, “Vile Nilotic Rites”. Boasting airtight technicality and unrelenting brutality, “The Underworld Awaits Us All” pushes each member of Nile – founding mastermind/guitarist Karl Sanders, longtime drum master George Kollias, vocalist/guitarists Brian Kingsland and Zach Jeter, and bassist Dan Vadim Von – to their furthest extremes both in artistry and performance.

The members of Nile had quite a bit of time to hone their tracks to a razor’s edge, sending multiple songs to the chopping block several times and distilling their trademark Egyptology-driven tempest down to its most streamlined essence. Once again produced and recorded at Sanders’ own Serpent Headed Studios in Greenville, South Carolina, the band returned to “Vile Nilotic Rites” engineer Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Whitechapel) for mixing and mastering.

Chaoszine had the opportunity to chat with Nile‘s mastermind Karl Sanders about the new album in detail. He also talked of his passion for Egyptology, and how “metal” the more mysterious side of Ancient Egyptian history is. Even Tutankhamun’s curse was discussed, before Sanders spoke of the band’s upcoming tour plans. You can check out the full interview below:
