American death metal stalwarts Nile have confirmed the arrival of their first full length studio album in five years with the announcement of, The Underworld Awaits Us All. The album is due August 23rd via Napalm Records and marks a major milestone as the band's 10th full length effort.
A colossal presentation of top-tier technicality fused with unrelenting pummel, the album underscores the continued prowess of founding guitarist Karl Sanders, along working in lock step with longtime drummer George Kollias, vocalist/guitarists Brian Kingsland and Zach Jeter, and bassist Dan Vadim Von.
The Underworld Awaits Us All was recorded at Sanders’ Serpent Headed Studios in Greenville, South Carolina and finds Nile again teaming with Vile Nilotic Rites engineer Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Whitechapel) for the final mix and master.
Paired with the news of the forthcoming release, Nile has revealed the first offering from the project with the menacing introduction, "Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes". Asserting the band's precision and audio punishment, the single packs a wallop while ushering in Nile's newest era.
Sanders said of the latest single, “'Chapter for not being Hung Upside Down' is one of our favorite tracks on the new record. It’s a lot of fun to play, challenging and unpredictable, but with an infectiously brutal, unrestrained vibe that I am very certain will be a blast in the mosh pit during live shows.
We are super happy to be working with Tom Flynn for the video for this song - he is a visionary with insanely creative ideas and a really cool guy to work with. Very excited for people to see what he has been cooking up with this video."
