Technical death metal Egyptologists NILE have announced the “Vile Nilotic Rites Part II” fall 2020 tour. The 43-date trek will kick off on September 26 in Durham, North Carolina and will make stops in Toronto, Denver and Atlanta before concluding in Monterey on November 14 at Explanda De Los Sultanes.
Karl Sanders comments: “The members of NILE had such a blast with all of our NILE fans on the recent USA tour supporting the ‘Vile Nilotic Rites’ album that we decided to hit it again. This time, we are going to include some new cities and venues in addition to the usual favorite stops across the States and we are also going to include some time with our Canadian fans, culminating with a Gran Fiesta de Metale at the Mexico Metal Fest in Monterrey. We are sincerely looking forward to seeing all of you on tour.”
NILE is touring in support of their latest album, “Vile Nilotic Rites”, which was released last fall via Nuclear Blast. Watch the video for “Snake Pit Mating Frenzy” below, and check out our review of the album here.

NILE‘s ninth studio album, “Vile Nilotic Rites”, was released last November via Nuclear Blast. The disc was recorded and produced by Karl Sanders at Serpent Headed Studios in Greenville, South Carolina, with the exception of the drums which were recorded at Esoteron Music Studios in Athens, Greece with engineering handled by Jim Touras and George Dovolos. The album was mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis at MRL Studios. For the album artwork, the band returned to artist Michal “Xaay” Loranc who has worked with the band for over 10 years.
