NILE
Nile is a technical death metal band from Greenville, South Carolina, founded in 1993 by guitarist and vocalist Karl Sanders, who built the band's distinctive identity around a rigorous fixation on ancient Egyptian mythology, history, and religion. Signing to Relapse Records in 1998, the band released a string of critically acclaimed records including Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka (1998), Black Seeds of Vengeance (2000), and In Their Darkened Shrines (2002), each raising the technical and compositional bar within the genre. Nile remains one of the most influential technical death metal bands in existence, distinguished by the depth of their thematic research and the extremity of their playing.
