Guitarist / musical mastermind Karl Sanders recently said Nile's sixth full-length album will likely be their most eclectic offering to date: "We're going to some very unexpected places. I've been listening to some oud [Middle Eastern lute] music, Iranian music, and some Hindu stuff, and that stuff's definitely rubbing off on the new songs."

Stay tuned for further updates.
