COBRA: As far as the concept of the new record is concerned, what can you tell us?
KARL: It’s in similar territory to other NILE records in that a lot of it stems from Ancient Egyptology and sort of has underlying modern themes tied in. We haven’t abandoned our identity and I don’t believe you should fuck over your fans. If your fans like what you do, and you change too much of what you do, fans don’t like it. What matters to me is when I’m out on tour and I meet the ACTUAL fans and they share their thoughts…those are the people that I listen to. There’s a lot of new ideas within the realm of what we do that we tried to incorporate. We studied real hard on the guitar and have lots of new riffs and musical ideas. There are a lot of surprises on the record.
COBRA: Can we expect any guest appearances on this new record?
KARL: Jon Vesano is all over this record. (Our Former Singer and Bass Guitarist who we’re still good friends with) Jon did some guest vocals on “Those Whom The Gods Detest” and it made us realize all over again all the things we really liked about Jon’s vocals. We wanted to incorporate some of his insanity. (laughs) He’s wicked man. He knows how to channel that inner possession. He finds a way to summon it. It’s great stuff.
COBRA: When is it scheduled to be released?
KARL: Who the fuck knows! (laughs) I’m guessing late May or early June. Just in time for summer.
Nice. Jon Vesano Btw, when did Chris Lollis quit the band? Who is that Todd ellis hard-on bearer?
