Those Whom the Gods Detest is the sixth studio album by American technical death metal band Nile. The album was released on November 3, 2009, in North America, and on November 6, 2009, in Europe through Nuclear Blast. It was produced and mixed by Neil Kernon, with Erik Rutan handling the drum recording. The album debuted at #160 on Billboard 200 list in United States.[7]
The cover artwork, a depiction of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, was brought to realization this time around by Michal "Xaay" Loranc, with whom Karl Sanders has previously worked on his second solo record Saurian Exorcisms.
According to a post on the band's message board, they were also planning to release a "making of" documentary covering the rehearsals, preproduction and studio sessions of the album. The documentary, called Making Things the Gods Detest was later released on October 30, 2010. Liner notes, written by Karl Sanders to explain the concept behind the songs, were featured in the album booklet for the first time since their 2005 album Annihilation of the Wicked.
As of September 24, 2009, the track "Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld" has been made available for streaming over MySpace Music.[8]
On October 28, 2010, the band released the official video for "Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld".[9]
