@lina anil Actually I started playing guitar at the age of 6. My father was a pro guitar player so he got me into it. I later noticed that I performed better in a more supportive role such as that of the bassist. In recent years I have been dealing with 5string bass which is much more flexible in terms of creativity. I have played in several bands 10 or so years ago, mostly prog death style but currently I play just for me.
Major respect to karl, always knew he was very knowledgable about egyptian mythology, especially all the books he has gotten. Karl also did an instrumental album that was for fans of this type of stuff but also not into heavier music like nile, not bad at all amd worth a listen!
ItsJustChase those two instrumental albums are amazing. Awesome to relax and read a book to. He also plays all the instruments on the instrumentals on Nile albums. Very talented musician
If you've ever read any of Karl's liner notes, you know the guy knows his Ancient Egypt shit. Tbh a lot of that material suits Death Metal very well indeed! And what Death Metal... Nile still slayin' Gods 21+ years later... 😎
@@divinefallfromgrace It was actually a dope school initiative looking back......didn't have to be homework or school related reading! So instead of Harry Potter I got to read about arrangements of Dagon 1-3 or the pits of the Duat. Wish way way more bands did that stuff btw.....

History and metal rolled into one. Karl is the man!! Study your history, folks - it's very important and should never be forgotten! Long Live NILE!!!!!
I actually deeply agree with his last statement, that it's sad that there's only one ancient wonder left. Humanity should have done a better job of preservation instead of endless aeons of war and destruction. ALTHOUGH, endless aeons of war sounds like pretty good song title lol.
The band is now "NILE" no longer lower case and it MUST have the quotation marks " NILE " Karl just change the band name to Sanders. You're the only one doing anything and who knows why you selected to hire the current vocalist. Sounds like a lamb of god clone. Nile sucks now. Hard to say.
"Your history is not brutal enough to be remembered." Sanders, Karl.
xD
What Can Be Safely Forgotten
Lol so badass
Karl will probably write a killer riff in 7/8 beat next to celebrate his score.
Has Nile done any songs in 7/8? Funkiest time signature.
Probably a riff or 2
The :54 mark of ‘Smashing the Antiu’, don’t have to go deeper than the first minute of the first song on the first LP
Ancient Wonders: 1/7
Karl Sanders: 7/8
The definition of anti-poser
@lina anil you just mentioned The Poser Lord. One of the most vomiting characters in metal
@lina anil haha I guess I am since you dislike Nergal. Other than that I'm happily married :)
@lina anil ha that's an old pic.
Thx anyway Lina

Without the badass guitar, he looks like a history professor.
it would nice if he teaches, he seems like a very nice guy
I think he looks like a crocodile hunter
He practically is at this point. I'd go to a Karl Sanders lecture on fuckin anything lol.

@@gguolo couldn't agree more!
Had a 1-on-1 guitar lesson years ago and he was very pleasant and insightful
This man does not only make great metal music but also his homework.
Vile Nilotic Rites. In the top 5 best death metal albums ever.
Greetings from Cairo Egypt 🤘🤘🤘
Karl looks like alternate 1985 Biff from *Back to the Future: Part II*
Met him in Denver back in 2016. Coolest dude out there! Also the new album KILLS 🔥🔥🔥
Damn hes aging really well. Looks like he slimmed down a lot
This is a refreshing idea for a promo! I like it! :] Nile is the best! *inserts CD*
Karl seems like a funny guy to hang with. I'll bet he can tell stories, lots of stories.
He didn’t know something because it wasn’t brutal enough hahaha. That is metal as fuck.
AMAZING DRUMMER!! HOLY COW!!
LORD "GEORGE KOLLIAS" INCREDIBLY THE BEST!✊👍👊💪🤘🤘🤘🤘😈
I learned more history from Karl Sanders rather than all the sources on google.
If you've ever read any of Karl's liner notes, you know the guy knows his Ancient Egypt shit. Tbh a lot of that material suits Death Metal very well indeed! And what Death Metal... Nile still slayin' Gods 21+ years later... 😎
Silent reading time in high school in 2010 was fuckin great because of those liner notes
@@scotts.227 Haha! Now that's 'Fight Club' logic! PLUS, you were ACTUALLY learning, so your teachers couldn't complain 😉

@@scotts.227 Yeah dudo, me too. As a Kemeticist myself, I was always impressed with Karl's knowledge of it, plus his Lovecraftian knowledge.
Great pyramid of Giza is what cams to mind but the Pyramid of khufu is one I haven't heard.
Damn. Dude actually knows his stuff 😐
History and metal rolled into one. Karl is the man!!
Study your history, folks - it's very important and should never be forgotten!
Long Live NILE!!!!!
Now I know when he does his vocals during each song, he is talking about all the ancient Egyptian history. This guy knows a lot.
Cool guy.

ALTHOUGH, endless aeons of war sounds like pretty good song title lol.
Of course he'd know about Akhenaten seeing as they wrote a song about him (likely from the point of view of a priest of Amun-Ra lol)
Nile could totally make a song about Nefertiti, I mean why not? There's room for different vibes. Also see: Hatshepsut
Could totally write a song about Narmer/Menes.
Excellent rate!
Karl would be a fucking cool history professor!
Karl you’re the man!
Legend
New album is too strange because of new voices
I miss Dallas, but there’s some killer stuff on VNR. Just have to accept that things change with time, as much as we’d like them not to 🙂
Well, fuck me running.
A nice odd 7/8
that was awesome! Karl knows is shit! Love all Karls stuff, The solo stuff blows me away
He looks more and more like Dave Mustaine
He doesn't. Have you seen Mustaine since his cancer treatment. He is looking pretty rough at the minute.
Death metal can appeal to caveman and to the intellectual.
NEFERTITI,KARL!!!!
Ask him, Why Egypt and see what Karl says..
Karl sandals!
he's kinda cute
He is cute.
Like a brutal Metal teddy bear.
The guy is drunk))
I got an 8/8
The band is now "NILE"
no longer lower case and it MUST have the quotation marks " NILE "
Karl just change the band name to Sanders. You're the only one doing anything and who knows why you selected to hire the current vocalist. Sounds like a lamb of god clone. Nile sucks now. Hard to say.
Jeez.. Still sounds kick ass to me!
This guy look like trump on steroids at the wwe back stage.
BEST COMMENT ON RUclips
I don't see it haha
Karl looks tired
