Nile sign to Napalm Records
NILE have signed to Napalm Records!
Since forming in 1993, thanks to a combination of extreme traditional and technical death metal styles with their trademarked blend of Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern soundscapes and historical mysticism, the band stand as one of extreme metal’s most essential names. Now, the band have taken the next step in their career by signing with Napalm Records.
Speaking about signing with Napalm Records, band mastermind Karl Sanders says, “the band is eagerly looking forward to bringing fans the next chapters in the NILE saga, as part of the Napalm family. We have been quietly working away, earnestly writing new songs for the next NILE album. It will be NILE’s 10th record, and we are determined to make it especially killer for the fans.”
Drummer George Kollias adds, “absolutely thrilled that we are a part of Napalm Records and super excited for the new album that’s coming soon, first one with our new label! I feel this is a very crucial moment in our career and I would like to thank Napalm Records for their trust in us – I know we will do some incredible music together! NILE has always kept raising the bar without compromising a single thing and this is what we will do for the next album too. Working on our new album as we speak, and we are hungry as hell to deliver our very best yet!”
And Sebastian Muench, Napalm Records A&R, says, “for me, NILE has always been the most amazing technical death metal band in the world. Starting with Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka in 1998, NILE have released nine ‘instant classic’ albums! Welcome to the Napalm family!”
