[edit] Early Life
Before creating Nile, Karl was in a thrash metal band during the late 1980s called "Morriah" and played local shows with the young Morbid Angel and other US death metal bands.
Karl Sanders' already existing infatuation with Egyptology alike promoted him to initiate a band with an original sound yet intense technicality, Nile. Karl Sanders was also featured on Behemoths' track "XUL", playing a guitar solo.
[edit] Solo project
Sanders began his own solo side project in 2004. Much of the music that he plays includes similar elements of his band Nile.
He has recorded one solo full-length album, Saurian Meditation, released on October 26, 2004 under the Relapse record label.
