South Carolina-based extreme technical death metallers NILE will release their seventh full-length album, "At The Gate Of Sethu", on July 3 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2009's "Those Whom The Gods Detest" was once again produced and mixed by Neil Kernon, who has previously worked with NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, QUEENSRŸCHE and DEICIDE, among many others.

Not much there, but maybe in a few days we'll get more information.

Fuckin' awesome, I'll be getting back from a conference that day. I'll just stop at Rasputin on my way home and bam.

July 3rd

July 3rd!

Was wondering when you'd emerge from lurkerdom...

Auslander · 04-25-2012, 06:41 PM

Actually, I've had quite a few problems getting in to the forum, but now I'm back to torture you guys a bit more.

flayedandskinned · 04-25-2012, 06:51 PM

Neil, how would you compare the new album's production to the last 3?

basically yes, and i've seen plenty of technical, wall of noise bands live that sounded way better than nile... origin immediately comes to mind.

Auslander · 04-25-2012, 06:59 PM

Hmm, all in all I'd say it's more savage and in your face than earlier records.

There are, of course, areas with plenty of Nile atmospheres and cinematics, but for the most part I'd say that this album has lots of nasty attitude and plenty of weirdness.

modern death · 04-25-2012, 07:05 PM

It's already been 3 years since their last? Damn

Auslander · 04-25-2012, 07:30 PM

Well, not really 3 years - the last one was released in late 2009.

SixSickSix · 04-25-2012, 07:50 PM

Neil just wanted to say your work on Sulaco's Build & Burn was great. It is an absolutely amazing album on-top of that. Criminally overlooked by many I fear.

Can't wait to hear what you've done with the latest Nile album.

Auslander · 04-25-2012, 07:59 PM

Thanks man! Very much appreciated. I really love the Sulaco record. It was a lot of fun to work on.

I guess I just don't see why your feelings on the live act would impact your response to a studio album, and vice versa. Some bands are really good live because of the energy and tight playing, but aren't really worth listening to on record. Krisiun comes to mind for me. Other bands write great music which doesn't translate that well to the live setting. The two are completely different things.

Even if a band is a little sloppier live than what they put on the record, that doesn't change anything for me. If a bad live performance changes your opinion on the studio music itself, that makes me think that you only liked the albums because of the idea that the band could play such challenging material, rather than just liking the sound of it.

SLIT YOUR GUTZ · 04-26-2012, 11:42 AM

Any idea when a song will get posted Neil?

Rottenatomy · 04-26-2012, 12:14 PM

Hey Neil, whats the size of Karl's waist?

LP Version

ShadowHunter · 04-26-2012, 02:13 PM

CD art looks 100 times better. LP art looks like a mess

quartertone · 04-26-2012, 02:42 PM

I agree. Someone went a bit overboard with the rotting mummmies.

Auslander · 04-26-2012, 03:06 PM

Not sure when a track will be put up, but probably won't be too long.

Claude · 04-26-2012, 03:30 PM

Album art rules, not sure I can say the same about the LP.

Seth is a very talented man and understands exactly who we are.

So, with a great pleasure I accepted the challenge, to visualize the new masterpiece of Nile At the gate of Sethu.

I agree, the CD cover is fantastic. The LP art I think is good too, but yeah it seems like a few too many rotting mummies.

Tomes of Deceit · 04-26-2012, 10:16 PM

CD cover is sick. I know it's shallow but I'm always way more excited for a CD if it has a good cover.
