NILE: New Album To Arrive In July - Apr. 23, 2007

[deathstrike from hell]

Nuclear Blast Records has set a July 20 German release date (July 23 in the rest of Europe) for the new NILE album, entitled "Ithyphallic". The CD was recorded at Sound Lab Studios in Columbia, South Carolina with producer Neil Kernon (NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE) and engineer Bob Moore. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Language Of The Shadows", "Even The Gods Must Die", "The Infinity Of Stone", "Ithyphallic" and "Papyrii Containg The Spell To Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In The Water".

NILE's last album, "Annihilation of the Wicked" album, was released in May 2005 via Relapse Records. A video for the album track "Sacrifice Unto Sebek" was shot on location in Atlanta, GA by director Chad Rullman (MASTODON's "March of the Fire Ants", THE AGONY SCENE) for Supercollider Films.

NILE will embark on a headlining tour of Australia in May. Support at the shows will come from Polish technical death metal sensations DECAPITATED.

NILE has been confirmed as one of the second-stage bands at this year's Ozzfest alongside HATEBREED, BEHEMOTH, MONDO GENERATOR, ANKLA, CIRCUS DIABLO and THE SHOWDOWN, among others. The 24-city tour begins July 12 in Seattle.

"Papyrii Containg The Spell To Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In The Water".

They always do at least one track with a ridiculously long name. I'm beginning to think it's just an in-joke among the band.

Should be a killer disc though, Nile usually don't disappoint.

that's good news. And that long song title is the best thing I heard today.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

yea, i hope it's good - the last one was awesome but wore off after a while

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I hope its way better than Annihilation... that album bored me to tears, which was surprising because I'm all gay for their other albums.

 

[naboo]

Really? I loved Annihilation.. in fact, I'd go so far as to say it's one of my favorite death metal albums ever.

Anyway DFH, you just made my day. I've been waiting for this forever.

I heard that drummer George is writing everything this time. Dallas and Karl wrote the drums on the last one.
Its gonna be uber winnage!

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

how the hell can Nile be boring? Stuff is boring when its uninspired or repetitive - Nile is neither.

 

[Lunar Still]

Well, to me Cast Down The Heretic kinda sounded like another attempt at Black Seeds of Vengeance. That could be uninspired I guess, although the rest of Annihilation is pretty much original.

 

[flying_whale]

nile is awesome. so i go with fuck yeah too.
also why are nile touring the zoo in may?

 

[rebirth]

Why becasue some fat cunt is paying the bills-some twirp, why can't they get the progressive mensa's out, half the meat heads of metal will be there in force, whipping their long hair- haha what a joke, fucking waste of time that band, don't get me started on this l_seweer

 

[Enemy242]

[Ryan VH]

I hope its way better than Annihilation... that album bored me to tears, which was surprising because I'm all gay for their other albums.
