#7 - NILE – Those Whom The Gods Detest (Nuclear Blast)





The reigning kings of technical, historically-themed brutality, NILE released their latest state-of-the-death-metal-art album Those Whom the Gods Detest in North America on November 3rd and in Europe on October 30th in the following formats: regular CD, limited edition digi and limited edition box set.

Produced and mixed by Neil Kernon (NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, QUEENSRYCHE), along with a stellar drum production job by Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, VITAL REMAINS, GOATWHORE), Those Whom The Gods Detest features the bands strongest production and arguably their best material to date.

The cover artwork (above) was brought to realization this time around by Michal "Xaay" Loranc, whom Karl Sander’s had previously worked with on his second solo record Saurian Exorcisms.
