As you have determined, on this episode I'm talking to Karl Sanders from the legendary band Nile! And we go places baby. We. Go. Places. We discuss the band's early days, and Karl's view on the evolving acceptance of extreme metal over the years. We, of course, talk about Karl's rig and why he says he'll never give up the tube amps. (It's a very good reason.) Karl and I also talk about the inspiration behind Nile's ancient Egyptian theme and how Karl's songwriting process is somewhat inverted from more "traditional" approaches. You are going to dig this one, so dive on in!
