Nile frontman Karl Sanders missed his first present with the band in 19 years at Hellfest 2024. Based on a prolonged put up by Sanders, he fell significantly in poor health after the Graspop Metallic Assembly in Belgium and has since been hospitalized.
Nile went on to play Hellfest as a trio that includes solely drummer George Kollias, guitarist and vocalist Zach Jeter, and bassist and vocalist Dan Vadim Von. We hope Sanders is doing higher at the moment and sit up for Nile getting again to their traditional four-piece selves… although rattling, the trio sounded nice from what little I can hear within the under video!
“I am heartbroken to share that I turned significantly in poor health after Graspop and have been in an emergency hospital this week in Belgium. Consequently, I’m going to must miss Nile‘s efficiency at Hellfest.

If there have been any approach in any respect for me to make the present at Hellfest, consider me I might be there to take part in Metallic. It is simply not potential this time.
“Nonetheless, within the spirit of metallic perseverance, the opposite members of Nile — George, Dan, and Zach — can be there to play the present as a three-piece. Please present them your assist as they bravely give it their all to carry you the music that we in Nile like to share. Your vitality and enthusiasm will make all of the distinction to create an unforgettable expertise for everybody. It’ll make me joyful to see movies of epic moshing and traditional Nile chants at Hellfest from my sickbed!
“Thanks on your understanding and assist. I respect all of you, and can see you again on tour with the blokes in September.”
Jeter added after the efficiency: “Hellfest 2024 was one for the books, to say the least. Resulting from sickness, our brother Karl was sadly unable to affix us on stage. As a lot as we missed him, the present needed to go on. Alongside George Kollias and Dan Vadim Von we crushed this present as a 3 piece!
“To the Hellfest crowd, you guys had been fucking superior and made all of it worthwhile. We’ll be again in Europe with Karl in September for ‘The Underworld’ tour, see you on the market!”
