Second Single, "To Strike With Secret Fang" Streaming

- advertisement -

American death metal icons NILE recently announced their highly-anticipated 10th album, The Underworld Awaits Us All, out August 23 via Napalm Records, and the first reviews are in! The album's breakneck first single, "Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes", arrived to much acclaim from long-time fans, and was instantly dubbed by Consequence as "kinetic, technically dense brutality", while MetalSucks hailed it as "face disfiguring death metal from start to finish".

The album's second single and most succinct standout, "To Strike with Secret Fang", pushes that unrelenting prowess to the next level. Out today via a new lyric video and streaming on all major platforms, the track blends low-end punishment with blackened death metal inspiration, rhythmic vocal mastery, and brutal conviction. Listen BELOW!

Alongside the single, NILE have also announced their upcoming 2025 USA co-headline tour with death metal greats SIX FEET UNDER. The tour begins January 7, 2025 in Nashville, TN, and will feature support from PSYCROPTIC and EMBRYONIC AUTOPSY. Tickets for this unmissable onslaught are on sale now! Pre-show meet and greets will also be available for both headliners.

NILE's Karl Sanders comments on the new track and tour announcement:

""To Strike with Secret Fang" is a straight-to-the-point, uptempo blasting venomous assassin's blade of a metal song. It's the shortest track off the new record, The Underworld Awaits Us All, which of course in NILE fashion has several long-form complex metal compositions. But "Fang" instantly goes right for the throat and will no doubt be a burner for live NILE shows.

"Speaking of, NILE is very pleased for the opportunity to once again share the stage with the guys in SIX FEET UNDER and PSYCROPTIC. We are also primed and ready to play some of the killer songs from the new NILE album for metal fans, as well as classic NILE tracks that have become live favorites over the years. We have no doubt that metal will take place!"
