The reigning kings of technical, historically-themed brutality, NILE, will guide you down into the depths of their ominous catacombs to torture your souls with the darkest tunes in a long time!

Their new album What Should Not Be Unearthed is out now!

"The goal for the new record was sheer epic brutality," commented mastermind Karl Sanders. "The focus this time around is on brutal heavy metal riffing and songwriting; kind of like of an Annihilation Of The Wicked approach but very streamlined to achieve maximum destructive impact. So we believe that we have a truly crushing disc to bring to the metal fans. Although Unearthed is still full of the kind of undeniable musicianship people have come to expect from us over the years, it's the songs themselves that will hit listeners over the head this time around."

The press also agree:
"This is NILE at their best. Triumphal, gleefully wicked, full of soul, and great fun." - Metal Hammer (UK)

The track list of What Should Not Be Unearthed is as follows:
01. Call To Destruction
02. Negating The Abominable Coils Of Apep
03. Liber Stellae Rubeae
04. In The Name Of Amun
05. What Should Not Be Unearthed
06. Evil To Cast Out Evil
07. Age Of Famine
08. Ushabti Reanimator
09. Rape Of The Black Earth
10. To Walk Forth From Flames Unscathed
