Nile Reveals New Album "At The Gate Of Sethu" Artwork
Ancient Egypt-themed death metal act, Nile, has revealed the cover artwork of its upcoming album, "At The Gate Of Sethu," produced by Seth Siro Anton (Soilwork, Paradise Lost, Septic Flesh).
Band mastermind, Karl Sanders, commented, “Seth Siro Anton has designed the cover. I have been a fan of Septic Flesh [for] a long time, and as Seth expressed interest, I knew that he would deliver a great job. I would say his work is easily the best we've ever had. He has captured the darker side of the sound of Nile and reflected the music and ideas, the heart and soul of Nile are forming. Seth is a very talented man and understands exactly who we are.”
“It is no secret that I admire the powerful stylistic lines of the magical symbols that still transmit the aura of ancient Egypt, preserving in time the ancient mysteries,” added Seth Siro Anton. “Also, I am fascinated from the final frozen moment of the flesh captured in an eternal sleeping stasis, at the completion of the mummification process. So, with a great pleasure I accepted the challenge, to visualize the new masterpiece of Nile ‘At The Gate Of Sethu.'”
"At The Gate Of Sethu," the follow-up to Nile’s "Those Whom the Gods Detest," is due out on July 3rd in North America via Nuclear Blast Records.

Everyone knows what a Septic fantard I am so I won't gush too much.
Actually...I'm sort of on the fence on this.
I like the background, Seth is obviously VERY talented. His usage of grey seems to be one of his trademarks. The Great Mass album cover wall almost all grey.
That said my favorite cover from Nile has always been Ithyphallic...epic and beautiful. I think Cynic is right, this could use a splash of color. Otherwise, I love it. Very ominious.

I like the layout but it needs some color - same dull grey that was used on "Those Whom the Gods Detest" and reminds me of Borknagar's "Urd" too. I'll give Seth Siro Anton this though, it's amazing he finds time for such well developed art at the same time as SF.
