American death metal titans NILE have officially welcomed Adam Roethlisberger (ex-VITRIOL) as their new bassist and vocalist. Roethlisberger made his live debut with the band yesterday, on Friday, September 12, at the opening show of NILE’s U.S. tour with Canadian extreme metal legends CRYPTOPSY in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The 25-date trek will storm across the East Coast, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest, with support from The Last Ten Seconds of Life and Cognitive.
Earlier today, NILE guitarist/vocalist and founding member Karl Sanders shared the following message on social media:
“Announcement time! We’re very happy to welcome Adam Roethlisberger to NILE on bass and vocals. Adam has already put in an incredible amount of work, proving himself not only as a fierce player but also as a great teammate fully up to the challenge. We’re sounding more powerful and heavier than ever, and we can’t wait to unleash it for you on tour.”
The addition of Roethlisberger follows the band’s 2024 release of their tenth studio album, The Underworld Awaits Us All (Napalm Records). The LP was recorded by Sanders alongside longtime drummer George Kollias, guitarists/vocalists Brian Kingsland and Zach Jeter, and bassist Dan Vadim Von.
