NILE (USA) AOTEAROA TOUR 2024
There is death metal and then there is NILE.
South Carolina death metal masters NILE are making their long awaited return to Aotearoa in October 2024. The band’s New Zealand tour for their 2019 album Vile Nilotic Rites was initially cancelled due to the pandemic. Now after four long years, nothing can stop us from witnessing NILE’s brutal death metal in the flesh.
Formed in 1993 and still fronted by founding member Karl Sanders, NILE have continued to craft unsparingly ferocious and bone-crushingly heavy anthems over their time as a band. Devastatingly uncontestable, NILE’s technical ferocity shows utterly zero signs of diminishing with their ninth studio album Vile Nilotic Rites. Containing 11 songs that are as sharp as obsidian blades and as heavy as nine Nubian pyramids, the rulers have instilled a hammer blow of god-like heaviness.
Drawing inspiration from Egyptology, they’ve established their own new themes for technical death metal to instill the power of the ancient gods in all who witness them.
The time has surfaced to reacquaint diehard New Zealand fans with NILE’s saurian whirlwind and provocative funerary spells.
