In this interview Karl covers the realities and challenges of being a professional musician, how the band (including two new members!) had to perform without him at Hellfest, and the financial impact of cancelling shows.

With just days to go before the release of Nile’s new album “The Underworld Awaits us All”, this death metal mastermind also explains some of the mythology that inspired the album, and reflects on the possible existence of a “ceiling” for his technical talent.
