Quote :: When he’s teamed up with his bandmates in technical death metal band Nile, Karl Sanders relies on spine-snapping speed and unconventional death metal arrangements to create maximum devastation. Oh, and there are also a bunch of lyrics about ancient Egyptian mythology and Lovecraftian imagery to provide a theme.

Sonically, Sanders’ solo work is worlds apart from Nile, but conceptually and spiritually he draws from the same ancient well. Click “more” for a free exclusive download of “Rapture of the Empty Spaces” from his second solo album, Saurian Exorcisms, which comes out April 14 on The End Records.

Like Sanders’ 2004 solo debut Saurian Meditation, the album is acoustic, exotic and largely instrumental, revealing the guitarist’s love for Middle Eastern melodies through haunting, atmospheres, foreboding percussion, possessed choirs and a range of ethnic instruments including the baglama saz and the glissentar. Mike Brazeale contributes chants and some vocals to the evocative sounds of Saurian Exorcisms. Everything else on the record was written and performed by Sanders.

Quote :: Death metal guitar wizard KARL SANDERS of NILE has announced plans for his second solo album, titled Saurian Excorcisms and due out on April 14th. This will be his first release for The End Records, famous for avant-metal bands like SIGH, UNEXPECT and MADE OUT OF BABIES, so technically savvy death metal made by rabid Egyptologists should be right at home.
