Seems like they should be from Cairo but instead they're from South Carolina.
Nile does an amazing job blending technical death metal with ancient egyptian tunes, making some incredible atmosphere. The lyrics to 'In Their Darkened Shrines IV: Ruins' are borrowed from H.P. Lovecraft's story of 'The Nameless City'. The story depicts the mad poet Abdul Alhazred dreaming of the Nameless City before he sang his unexplained couplet:
"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die."
South Park featured Cthulhu Mythos in their new Coon series, including this story. Got a good laugh out of it.
Also, there will be a discog for Nile in the near future, so there's that.
