Open The Nile
Open The Nile has been operating somewhat under the radar since
their inception in 2008.
Originally going by the similar moniker Open Denile, they put out two
releases before switching to their present name in 2015, and both before
and since then there've been several lineup changes surrounding guitarist
Craig Storer.
Everything has been self-financed, including their 2020 effort
The Meridian, which packs quite a bit into a small package (ten songs
in only 31 minutes).
The style swings wildly between a more relaxed alt-progressive metal style
and intense tech-death, with a few songs arguably benefitting from being
fleshed out a bit more (bands of this ilk often write too-long songs,
these guys buck that trend).
The musicianship is far better than the typical indie effort, seems like
a band in need of a break.
As of this writing (Feb 2022) there's been more lineup changes and
possibly a newer release since
Meridian.
Could be a band to keep an eye on.
