The following announcements were posted on Nile's official myspace by guitarist Karl Sanders:

"We are currently finishing the mixes on the new Nile album entitled "Ithyphallic", our first album for Nuclear Blast. So far we have been nothing but thrilled to work with the entire cast at NB, they have treated us exceptionally well and have given the band a ferocious and inspirational new lease on life. Dallas, George and I are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that this new record contains our best material yet, and Neil Kernon is working overtime to ensure that every single blasphemous note is heard in all its primal savagery.

There are 9 songs and one short acoustic piece, 2 of which are epic length songs, yet overall a wide range of tempos, some doomy, exotic elements as well as some unbelievably fast and catchy Metal.

A few song titles: "Language Of The Shadows", "Even The Gods Must Die", "The Infinity Of Stone", "Ithyphallic" and "Papyrii Containg The Spell To Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In The Water".

We are, as could be expected, very much looking forward to our upcoming Australian Tour, our last tip down under went exceptionally well and we cant wait to play again for the rabid Aussie Metal fans. We will also indeed be bringing the Nile Brand of Ithyphallic Metal to the uninitiated masses at the summer Ozzfest, and, quite welcomely, playing our own Nile headlining shows for the off - Ozz days.
We are also anxious for the European Nile Fall tour that is in the works, where we will finally be able to play a nice long Nile set covering a wide range of material from all our albums."
