Nile in Essen

Nile is an American technical death metal band formed in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1993 by guitarist and vocalist Karl Sanders. The group is known for intricate, high-speed death metal shaped by ancient Egyptian history and mythology, particularly on albums such as Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka, Black Seeds of Vengeance and Annihilation of the Wicked. Nile performed on Ozzfest in 2007, bringing its dense material to the festival’s touring stages. A decade later, the band toured North America with Overkill.
