With six critically acclaimed albums and several world tours under their belts, Nile have raised the bar for extreme metal bands musically, lyrically and conceptually. Their withering live performances are nothing short of legendary, gaining them the respect of fellow musicians, critics and fans worldwide. On At the Gates of Sethu, they balance the pummeling death metal assault and the Egyptian influences that Nile are well-known for and take the intensity up yet another notch. This is a band that only grows more aggressive and artistic with each album and the never-ending lyrical well that is Egyptology continues to serve them well. Their trademark swarming guitars, relentless drum blasts that push human limits of endurance, and vicious vocals are on display, proving Nile are still very much at the top of their game.
