Trenutno jedan od najpopularnijih death metal bendova na planeti kojima popularnost raste na dnevnoj osnovi. Osnovan je 1993 u Juznoj Karolini USA. Ostatak me mrzi da prevodim tako da izvol'te na engleskom:
Nile's music is written mostly by founding member and vocalist/guitarist Karl Sanders. It combines traditional and technical death metal with elements of Middle Eastern music, incorporating traditional Egyptian instruments in some songs. Nile's music is also characterized by its extreme complexity and speed – for which the band has received acknowledgment from many music fans and journalists and its extremely "heavy" riffing, due to Nile's guitar and bass tunings.
Much of the lyrical content is based on Karl Sanders' interest in Egyptology and other ancient Middle Eastern cultures, such as Mesopotamia. Lengthy sleeve notes are included with the albums Black Seeds of Vengeance, In Their Darkened Shrines and Annihilation of the Wicked, explaining the inspiration or source for the lyrics of each song. Some songs, moreover, are based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, whose writing has strongly influenced the style and grammatical peculiarities of Nile's lyrics.
In 2003, the band contributed to some tracks on the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Soundtrack aside main writer/producer/composer Stuart Chatwood.
In May 2006, Nile signed a recording contract with Nuclear Blast. On February 26, 2007, Nile entered the studio and began recording their fifth full-length album entitled Ithyphallic, which was their first release with Nuclear Blast.
