Coming up with something new in death metal after several decades of the genre's evolution is extremely difficult. By incorporating the culture of ancient Egypt and its aesthetics into extreme metal, American NILE have done it to perfection and have become one of the genre's most respected bands.
In it for nearly 30 years, they have combined the extreme speed and precision of technical death metal with the mysticism and ancient melodies of Middle Eastern music - coming up with a powerful and distinctive sound in the mid-'90s that still sets them apart from the peloton of the entire death metal scene and made them one of its pillars. NILE are opening the sarcophagus again, their convoy of death from the Valley of the Kings will reach Josefov!
