I know there was a thread like this a while back so I apoligize ahead of time if this annoys or upsets anyone (to my recollection, that thread was mostly speculation).
Karl Sander's new solo disc, "Saurian Meditation", is set to be released October 26th, 2004 on Relapse. It features KS on all instruments and has guest musicians Mike Breazeale on vocals and Pete Hammoura (ex-Nile, for the three of you out there who don't know) on percussion.

The track listing is as follows:
1. Awaiting the Vultures
2. Of the Sleep of Ishtar
3. Luring the Doom Serpent
4. Contemplations of the Endless Abyss
5. The Elder God Shrine
6. Temple of Lunar Ascension
7. Dreaming Through the Eyes of Serpents
8. Whence No Traveller Returns
9. The Forbidden Path Across the Chasm of Self Realisation
10. Beckon the Sick Winds of Pestilence

All of this information was found at www.metal-archives.com (which classifies the album Middle Eastern/Egyptian Ambient).

Looking forward to it, should nothing but excellence from someone who we can expect nothing less from.

Sounds cool. I'm eager to see how it will turn out.

i'll definitely check it out.

I pre-ordered my copy about 2 months ago! Go to the Nile forum - www.nilechat.net - to read more about it along with some posts from Karl Sanders himself explaining about the album a little more deeply. As with anything that the Mercurial Mr. Sanders puts out, I'm expecting this to be of the highest quality and I very much doubt that my expectations will be misplaced.
