Soulfly & Nile

Nile was formed in 1993 by Karl Sanders (guitar, vocals), Chief Spires (bass, vocals), and Pete Hammoura (drums). They have always had interest in Egyptian history and culture; thus they combined that interest with Death Metal. In 1994 they released their self-titled demo. A year later they released “Festivals of Atonement” as Cassette/CD and also performed a few live shows with bands such as Obituary, Deicide, and Six Feet Under. Soulfly is a metal band formed in 1997 by Max Cavalera after he quit Sepultura. The band is based in Phoenix, Arizona.
