American death metal icons NILE recently announced their highly-anticipated 10th album, “The Underworld Awaits Us All”, out August 23 via Napalm Records.
The album’s breakneck first single, “Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes”, arrived to much acclaim from longtime fans, and was instantly dubbed by Consequence as “kinetic, technically dense brutality”.
The album’s second single and most succinct standout, “To Strike with Secret Fang”, pushes that unrelenting prowess to the next level. Published as a lyric video and streaming on all major platforms, the track blends low-end punishment with blackened death metal inspiration, rhythmic vocal mastery, and brutal conviction. Listen below!
Alongside the single, NILE have also announced their upcoming 2025 USA co-headline tour with death metal greats SIX FEET UNDER. The tour begins January 7, 2025, in Nashville, TN, and will feature support from PSYCROPTIC and EMBRYONIC AUTOPSY.
