Brutal tech-death outfit NILE have been patiently awaiting the release of their forthcoming album Vile Nilotic Rites, which drops on November 1st via Nuclear Blast! In anticipation for the new album, guitarist Brian Kingsland is here with an exclusive playthrough for their track “The Fiends Who Come to Steal the Magick of the Deceased” off of their 2012 album At the Gate of Sethu, on his absolutely sick Carillion custom guitar. Check it!
If we’re certain of anything when it comes to NILE, it’s that the dudes are total masters of their craft. Honing in their extreme technical death metal sound since the early 90’s, the band has become a staple in the world of both classic and modern metalheads alike.
