The discography of the band Nile consists of seven studio albums, two compilations, three extended plays (EP), two demos, three singles, and five music videos. Nile is an American technical death metal band from Greenville, South Carolina formed in 1993.[1] Since 2007, their formation consists of Karl Sanders (guitars, vocals), Dallas Toler-Wade (vocals, guitars), George Kollias (drums, percussion), and Chris Lollis (bass, vocals) (live member 2007-2010). Two years later, they followed up with Festivals of Atonement, an EP released through their own Anubis Records label.[1] In 1996, Ramses Bringer of War was released, a three-track demo with the title inspired by Gustav Holst's classical work "Mars, Bringer of War".[2] The following year, the Ramses demo was re-released by Visceral Productions on EP format.[1]

In 1998, the band signed with Relapse Records and released Nile's debut album, Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka.[1] After extensive touring to support their debut album, Relapse reissued the first two EPs in early 2000 as a compilation entitled In the Beginning, with remastered songs and new artwork.[2] This compilation was followed by two studio albums: Black Seeds of Vengeance released the same year, and 2002's In Their Darkened Shrines.[1] In 2004, Nile released their fourth studio album Annihilation of the Wicked, which debuted on Swedish charts at number 27.[3] In 2007, they released Ithyphallic, debuting on the Billboard 200 at number 162.[4] In 2009, the band released their sixth studio album, entitled Those Whom the Gods Detest.
