- THE LEGEND IS BACK.
Karl and I sit down to discuss a number of topics from dealing with anxiety when you show the world your music, to nerding about aspects of Cubase we both love the most.
Karl also mentions there's new NILE material in the works, as well as a brand new Saurian album that's set to release in just a few weeks.

I've never understood how ITDS could be possibly be badly received by any Nile fan, or metal fan in general. Absolute benchmark
Agreed! It's fucking sick!
Karl is truly a great person. I am privileged also to have taken lessons from him. He's not only a great teacher with a plethora of guitar and metal knowledge but he has helped open doors for me that without him I'd still be stuck in the same box I was in. Forever grateful and very fortunate to call him a friend.
Karl Sanders along with Erik Rutan and Gary Holt are the cornerstones of Thrash/Death Metal and all that it involves. All are humble and absolutely know their instruments and song writing abilities. When I'm having a "mental" block day in the studio, I always think to myself ... "What would Karl, Erik and Gary do?". Helps me a lot.
Kudos to you too mate. I enjoy everything you put out and the way you come across to the audience is so relaxing and on the money. Keep up the great work mate.
In Their Darkened Shrines kicks ass UNNNAAAASSSSSSSS
Hell yeah what a huge get for an interview! Nile has been blowing my mind for years and years.
Karl is 58?? I thought he was 50 at most! great interview , idk how I missed this when it came out, cheers!
Dude so much respect for Nile. Miss Dallas though 😤. Wish i had seen them when I had a chance back in annihilation days. Dude Karl is so awesome.
I finally got to watch Nile live back in February, what an awesome guy , you can tell he loves what he does and shows no sign of stopping
I love this guy, the other podcast he did with Ugritone was also fun as hell
Constructive criticism is vital when you're starting out, not everyone cares enough to take the time to help you see what you're doing wrong or what you could do to improve, but someone willing to take the time is doing you a huge favor. I've even gone way out of my way and even paid for constructive criticism and even then couldn't get it lol.
On the other hand, to hell with A-holes who just like putting other people down! Those people want you to give up whatever you're doing because they themselves probably aren't doing anything either. Some people don't like to see other people succeed at anything or grow as a person.
had so much fun on the Nile forum back in the day
Karl is legendary and says a lotta wise words throughout the interview. Interviewer is pretty dorky but also super cool for making this happen.
I use Karl's trick with the arranger track now 👍
Why would anyone say In Their Darkened Shrines was bad?! I feel like that was one of their best received albums!
Karl is a such a great guy ! Great musician and awesome guitarist!
Personally, I felt the same way about Lashed to the Slave Stick after listening to it on Annihilation, but when I saw it live I really felt like it worked well in that setting. There's something about the way audio works differently when it's being blasted into your ears through a PA that isn't the same as a studio production that makes it so you can't always hear every nuance that you've put into the recording. Unfortunately with death metal, you can't even hear/comprehend a lot of stuff in the live setting unless you've thoroughly prepared yourself by listening to the recording ahead of time. I think this is mainly a flaw in the way acoustics and mixing interact, a lot gets clipped and it's often quite sad and underwhelming. When you can actually hear a song that sounds good live, it's quite refreshing
Cool and articulate guy.
I don't know about any of you but when I listen to nile it's for a couple of weeks straight constantly then I end up watching all these videos. I hope that Karl and Dallas make some more music together. Hope there's more to their epic story.
karl is so cool
both great interviews and conversations with Karl. never seen these before. he's one of the more inspiring guys out there still doing deathmetal, along with Trey Azagthoth, Erik Rutan, Peter Tagtgren, Alex Webster, Glen Benton, and others.
Amazing interview!
Lashed To The Slave Stick!!! Uuuuuuhhhhh 🤘🏻😈
Нааайс 🔥
That’s so sick, the guys you’re talking to these days
Is there a special reason for preferring a 6 string for Drop A tuning? Aren't things settled way better in 7 string neighborhood for drop A lets say?
I can't speak for Karl, but in my experience, the 6-string has been more comfortable to play in general due to the smaller width of the neck
Karl has been using drop A before 7 strings were affordable and easily available, so he became used to it and uses a .70 for the low A. I don’t think he used a 7 string until Ithyphallic somewhere. Definitely THTGD and after have 7 strings. He got super into them after Ithyphallic. I really miss that fretless sound that Ithyphallic had. It sounds chaotic as fuck
I'm a huge Nile fan. Now, talking about CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, I would tell Karl to write songs with more-sustained/longer/more-stable drum patterns in the fast parts. It's because every time I enjoy an awesome blastbeat or thrashbeat section of their songs I can't enjoy it for more than 5 seconds without an acrobatic drum roll interrupting it and taking all the thrill of the drum pattern away from the somg. I mean, less acrobacies on drums would make the listener enjoy the songs more by feeling connected to the actual feeling of listening to something fast and atmospheric at the same time.
I disagree
Totally agree. That's my only complaint of Nile is every 2-3 seconds There's a drum role rather than a sustained blast beat.
🤘
Hold on... I just listened to the end of the interview and turns out that you're in Kyiv? How on earth did you end up over there???
(I heard that Bingo got closed, it's a shame, a lot of good memories of that venue)
Been here for years man ! :)
@@ChernobylAudio666 Hence "CHernobyl" ? In the neighborhood, right?
Woah… Really, Relapse? Really? Triggering internet hate for their own artists… not a classy behavior at all
Sounds like it really backfired in some cases.
@@thomascoolberth2648 do you know any examples?
@@PARAMONARIOS Not in particular .. just imagining if internet hate ever triggered arguments even within a band .. or just disheartened an up and coming band .. or it all just go carried away at some point. At a minimum it helped turn some internet metal folks into hard to please critics.
Early version of click bait or a lesser form of social engineering?
