The Profile

Karl Sanders is the guitarist and main composer of the death metal band Nile and a solo artist known for the album Saurian Meditations.

Solo work (notably Saurian Meditations) emphasizes atmosphere, ethnic instrumentation, Egyptian themes and references to literature such as Lovecraft; Sanders is publicly known as Nile's guitarist and composer.

The available review praises Saurian Meditations for its strong atmosphere, ethnic instrumentation and fluid songwriting. It contrasts Sanders' solo ambient/world direction with his role in Nile and notes literary (Lovecraft) and Egyptian inspirations. The reviewer warmly recommends listening.
