Vile Nilotic Rites is the ninth studio album by American technical death metal band Nile, released through Nuclear Blast on November 1, 2019.
It is the band's only album with bassist/vocalist Brad Parris and first with guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland,[1] the latter of whom replaced Dallas Toler-Wade in 2017.
[2] Two singles, "Long Shadows of Dread" and the title track, were released from the album.
[3] Drummer George Kollias called Vile Nilotic Rites a "special album for all of us since each member contributed on this a lot.
Writing for Metal Injection, Austin Weber noted that the most distinct difference about the album from the band's other albums is the "influx of what you might call more "traditional" tech-death lead-work taking a larger role here beyond their patented frenetic riff style".
