In Their Darkened Shrines is the third studio album by American death metal band Nile.
The lyrics to "In Their Darkened Shrines IV: Ruins" are borrowed from the H. P. Lovecraft short story, "The Nameless City".
Along with "In Their Darkened Shrines I: Hall of Saurian Entombment", the lyrics are supplementary to the theme of the instrumental.
The two main melodies of "Unas Slayer Of The Gods" are a tribute to "Gothic Stone/The Well of Souls" by the doom metal band Candlemass, from their album Nightfall.
Music videos were made for "Execration Text" and "Sarcophagus".
