Nile talk new album and tour 2015-05-31 by dynamic range police | 14 Comments | Technical death metal giants Nile have revealed the cover artwork for their upcoming album, What Should Not Be Unearthed, which will see the light on August 28.
Karl Sanders stated:
"The focus this time around is on brutally heavy metal riffing and songwriting; kind of like of an Annihilation Of The Wicked approach but very streamlined to achieve maximum destructive impact."
As usual, the band's work does not revolve around music only. About the theme of the album, Michal "Xaay" Loranc, who is also responsible for the cover artwork, said:
"The story behind the title goes deeply beneath everything we have already known, and we may not be ready to face. With the art I excavated the theories of an elder ancient civilization which could give the origin to ancient Egypt. That's why you can find a new ingredient in the band imagery, pointing at some higher obscure intelligence, eroding and covered with time. That trace of a dismal legacy is resembled in the outer structure which radiates from the block, sealing the unknown, and it's only an adumbration of what we will meet, once it is removed.

Could be interesting. More compact AotW songs sounds good to my ears. Hopefully more low-end gutturals this time around too.

Can't wait

Gonna try to sneak into that show in Brescia, I should be home without a doubt in late September.

cover artwork is kinda generic with that triangle but it has deeper meaning other than fucking illuminati, so meh
