Saurian Meditation is the first solo album by Karl Sanders, the vocalist/guitarist of the death metal band Nile. It was released on 26 October 2004 through Relapse Records. The music is a full length exploration of the atmospheric interludes heard on Nile's previous albums, and still draws on ancient Egyptian themes for inspiration. The album was well received by metal and non-metal listeners alike.
