The arch purveyors of  Egyptian-themed, technical-as-hell, brutal death metal – Nile – will be sacrificing India to Sebek sometime in 2010.

From metalunderground.com:

A mid October 2009 release is being planed world wide on Nuclear Blast. Nile will then tour Europe in November of 2009 and January / February 2010 in North America, followed by tours in Australia, South America, Japan, Pacific Rim, Mexico, Central America and India. Stay tuned for tour news and further updates TBA.

Personally, I don’t like how India’s at the end of that list. I’m not very sure, but I wouldn’t want to face an exhausted, cranky, homesick band, especially the first (and probably the only) time I’ll get to see them play.

That said: Holy shit! I think I should go check my trousers for jizz stains.

Update: Nile really are coming, this time.

From Nile’s Facebook page:

World Management would like to announce that the mighty Nile are heading to ASIA.. This marks the band’s first time in these markets and the guys are extremely excited to be playing for their Asian Metal Brothers. The whole idea of spreading NIle’s music into this part of the world has been a long time coming. We are extremely pleased to go to this part of the world and are looking forward to an amazing cultural exchange and experience.
Nile are currently in the studio wrapping up the mix of their latest effort “At The Gate of Sethu” with producer Neil Kernon ( fyi.he has produced the last four albums)…. Album should be released 2nd quarter 2012.

They’ll be playing two gigs in India – New Delhi on May 5, 2012, and  Bangalore on May 6, 2012. Be there or go fuck yourself.
