NILE's Karl Sanders Talks About NEW Album 'At The Gate Of Sethu' & Shredding DEAN Guitars!

The reigning kings of technical, historically-themed brutality, NILE, have announced a July 3rd release date for their upcoming studio album, 'At The Gate Of Sethu'. The follow-up to NILE’s latest state-of-the-Death-Metal-art release, 'Those Whom the Gods Detest' (2009), will once again be released via Nuclear Blast Records. Neil Kernon (Cannibal Corpse, Macabre) handled production duties for NILE’s seventh full-length.

During the bands recent tour stop in New York City with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, SKELETONWITCH and HOUR OF PENNANCE, we had the chance to sit down and chat with NILE's own Karl Sanders. During the conversation we discussed the bands legacy, their NEW album 'At The Gate Of Sethu', and why he chooses to play DEAN Guitars! Are you ready? Grab a cold one and listen up!

"Hey guys, as you've heard, we were forced to cancel the last two shows of this last little jaunt we just did. As unfortunate for the fans as this is, it was an absolute necessity as family will always come first.
