  ::      The band had only one goal for their new record: "The goal       ::
  ::      for the new record was sheer epic brutality," guitarist Karl     ::
  ::      Sanders jokes, but then he answers seriously: "Really            ::
  ::      though, the focus this time around is on brutal Heavy Metal      ::
  ::      riffing and songwriting; kind of like of an "Annihilation Of     ::
  ::      The Wicked" approach but very streamlined to achieve maximum     ::
  ::      destructive impact. So we believe that we have a truly           ::
  ::      crushing disc to bring to metal fans. Although "Unearthed"       ::
  ::      is still full of the kind of undeniable musicianship people      ::
  ::      have come to expect from us over the years, itÆs the songs       ::
  ::      themselves that will hit listeners over the head this time       ::
  ::      around."                                                         ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      The production of "What Should Not Be Unearthed" was handled     ::
  ::      by the band at Sanders' own Serpent Headed Studios. All the      ::
  ::      tracking was done there too, except for the initial drum         ::
  ::      tracking, which was done with Bob Moore at Soundlab in           ::
  ::      Columbia. "It all went fairly smooth, although as we all         ::
  ::      know, no record is without its share of challenges," the         ::
  ::      guitarist tells. "Overall, though, I can say that this time      ::
  ::      around the recording/composing/rehearsing was a rewarding        ::
  ::      and enjoyable experience, and the band worked together as a      ::
  ::      team with a level of consistence and confidence in a way         ::
  ::      IÆve not seen since the golden early years of working with       ::
  ::      original NILE drummer Pete Hammoura." After all recordings       ::
  ::      were done, Neil Kernon in Chicago did the final mix of "What     ::
  ::      Should Not Be Unearthed".                                        ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      The artwork was created by Michal "Xaay" Loranc. "I              ::
  ::      excavated the theories of an elder ancient civilization          ::
  ::      which could give the origin to ancient Egypt," Xaay starts       ::
  ::      to tell about the background of the cover. "That's why you       ::
  ::      can find a new ingredient in the band imagery, pointing at       ::
  ::      some higher obscure intelligence, eroding and covered with       ::
  ::      time. That trace of a dismal legacy is resembled in the          ::
  ::      outer structure which radiates from the block, sealing the       ::
  ::      unknown, and it's only an adumbration of what we will meet,      ::
  ::      once it is removed. The pyramid-shaped seal in the center        ::
  ::      doesn't contain a recipe for some camel stew or a pharaoh's      ::
  ::      dining menu. An experienced eye will notice hieroglyphs          ::
  ::      taken from the 'Book Of The Dead', or the Seven Islands of       ::
  ::      Amentet glyph - depicting the ancient underworld, and            ::
  ::      describing the elder reign of God-kings, which had ended         ::
  ::      circa 9850 B.C. (perhaps some similarity with that of            ::
  ::      Atlantis?)." But the main thing of the artwork is a winged       ::
  ::      scarab sign in the exact center: "We all know this most          ::
  ::      common Egyptian artifact giving protection... so the message     ::
  ::      is pretty clear... I hope it may become another fine element     ::
  ::      in band's repository for the NILE themed tattoos. To sum it      ::
  ::      up: This album is definitely not a box of candies. Keep in       ::
  ::      mind that opening the package means you will deal with the       ::
  ::      deadliest essence..."                                            ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      Once again, the title and the lyrical themes of NILEÆs album     ::
  ::      are heavily inspired by old Egypt and archaeology: "'What        ::
  ::      Should Not Be Unearthed' is somewhat like the idea that what     ::
  ::      if archaeologists accidentally dug up something, so old and      ::
  ::      unimaginable in its implications of the origin of humanity       ::
  ::      that it rocked the foundations of modern civilization,"          ::
  ::      explains guitarist Karl Sanders and continues: "As if            ::
  ::      everything we all believed to be true about humans, our          ::
  ::      history, and our place in the universe were shown to be so       ::
  ::      horribly wrong by these new discoveries that it drove the        ::
  ::      general population to madness and despair. It's a classic        ::
  ::      Lovecraftian sort of idea. Basically, this song grew out of      ::
  ::      the concept - of the many recent excavations in Egypt            ::
  ::      containing fantastical discoveries."                             ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      Altogether, Karl Sanders says: "Sethu and Ithyphallic -          ::
  ::      while full of incredible musicianship and unique songwriting     ::
  ::      approaches - were not ever intended to be definitive NILE        ::

  ::      "Unearthed is somewhat reactionary in that aspect; it's a        ::
  ::      record that we are confident NILE fans will love," the           ::
  ::      guitarist promises and closes: "In that respect, some of         ::
  ::      these tracks will be instant NILE classics and fan               ::

  ::      masterpiece to the masses now - "What Should Not Be              ::

  ::      The band had only one goal for their new record: "The goal       ::
  ::      for the new record was sheer epic brutality," guitarist Karl     ::
  ::      Sanders jokes, but then he answers seriously: "Really            ::
  ::      though, the focus this time around is on brutal Heavy Metal      ::
  ::      riffing and songwriting; kind of like of an "Annihilation Of     ::
  ::      The Wicked" approach but very streamlined to achieve maximum     ::
  ::      destructive impact. So we believe that we have a truly           ::
  ::      crushing disc to bring to metal fans. Although "Unearthed"       ::
  ::      is still full of the kind of undeniable musicianship people      ::
  ::      have come to expect from us over the years, it’s the songs       ::
  ::      themselves that will hit listeners over the head this time       ::
  ::      around."                                                         ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      The production of "What Should Not Be Unearthed" was handled     ::
  ::      by the band at Sanders' own Serpent Headed Studios. All the      ::
  ::      tracking was done there too, except for the initial drum         ::
  ::      tracking, which was done with Bob Moore at Soundlab in           ::
  ::      Columbia. "It all went fairly smooth, although as we all         ::
  ::      know, no record is without its share of challenges," the         ::
  ::      guitarist tells. "Overall, though, I can say that this time      ::
  ::      around the recording/composing/rehearsing was a rewarding        ::
  ::      and enjoyable experience, and the band worked together as a      ::
  ::      team with a level of consistence and confidence in a way         ::
  ::      I’ve not seen since the golden early years of working with       ::
  ::      original NILE drummer Pete Hammoura." After all recordings       ::
  ::      were done, Neil Kernon in Chicago did the final mix of "What     ::
  ::      Should Not Be Unearthed".                                        ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      The artwork was created by Michal "Xaay" Loranc. "I              ::
  ::      excavated the theories of an elder ancient civilization          ::
  ::      which could give the origin to ancient Egypt," Xaay starts       ::
  ::      to tell about the background of the cover. "That's why you       ::
  ::      can find a new ingredient in the band imagery, pointing at       ::
  ::      some higher obscure intelligence, eroding and covered with       ::
  ::      time. That trace of a dismal legacy is resembled in the          ::
  ::      outer structure which radiates from the block, sealing the       ::
  ::      unknown, and it's only an adumbration of what we will meet,      ::
  ::      once it is removed. The pyramid-shaped seal in the center        ::
  ::      doesn't contain a recipe for some camel stew or a pharaoh's      ::
  ::      dining menu. An experienced eye will notice hieroglyphs          ::
  ::      taken from the 'Book Of The Dead', or the Seven Islands of       ::
  ::      Amentet glyph - depicting the ancient underworld, and            ::
  ::      describing the elder reign of God-kings, which had ended         ::
  ::      circa 9850 B.C. (perhaps some similarity with that of            ::
  ::      Atlantis?)." But the main thing of the artwork is a winged       ::
  ::      scarab sign in the exact center: "We all know this most          ::
  ::      common Egyptian artifact giving protection... so the message     ::
  ::      is pretty clear... I hope it may become another fine element     ::
  ::      in band's repository for the NILE themed tattoos. To sum it      ::
  ::      up: This album is definitely not a box of candies. Keep in       ::
  ::      mind that opening the package means you will deal with the       ::
  ::      deadliest essence..."                                            ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      Once again, the title and the lyrical themes of NILE’s album     ::
  ::      are heavily inspired by old Egypt and archaeology: "'What        ::
  ::      Should Not Be Unearthed' is somewhat like the idea that what     ::
  ::      if archaeologists accidentally dug up something, so old and      ::
  ::      unimaginable in its implications of the origin of humanity       ::
  ::      that it rocked the foundations of modern civilization,"          ::
  ::      explains guitarist Karl Sanders and continues: "As if            ::
  ::      everything we all believed to be true about humans, our          ::
  ::      history, and our place in the universe were shown to be so       ::
  ::      horribly wrong by these new discoveries that it drove the        ::
  ::      general population to madness and despair. It's a classic        ::
  ::      Lovecraftian sort of idea. Basically, this song grew out of      ::
  ::      the concept - of the many recent excavations in Egypt            ::
  ::      containing fantastical discoveries."                             ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      Altogether, Karl Sanders says: "Sethu and Ithyphallic -          ::
  ::      while full of incredible musicianship and unique songwriting     ::
  ::      approaches - were not ever intended to be definitive NILE        ::
  ::      records. They were representative of where we were and how       ::
  ::      we felt as a band and as musicians at those points in our        ::
  ::      careers."                                                        ::

  ::      "Unearthed is somewhat reactionary in that aspect; it's a        ::
  ::      record that we are confident NILE fans will love," the           ::
  ::      guitarist promises and closes: "In that respect, some of         ::
  ::      these tracks will be instant NILE classics and fan               ::
  ::      favorites: If someone can listen to tracks like 'Call To         ::
