Nile has parted ways with bassist and vocalist Brad Parris, who played in the band between 2015 and present day. Parris contributed songwriting, bass, and vocals to the band's 2019 record Vile Nilotic Rites and according to Nile is leaving "to focus on other projects and family concerns." Nile ends their statement by saying they have some string candidates for the position, but encourage interested parties to contact them at [email protected].

"It's time for us to share with our fans and the metal community that Brad Parris is leaving Nile this year. This is something that we have known about and have been working together with Brad through the transition.

"Brad has been an exemplary band member of Nile since 2015, conducting himself at all times with professionalism and integrity. He is parting under the absolute best of terms to focus on other projects and family concerns. Our friendship and brotherhood remain as strong as ever, and we wish him only the best as he continues his musical journey in life. Nile's touring and recording commitments remain in effect. It is natural for a band that's been going strong for 25+ years to have changes and we promise our fans to stay as true and brutal as ever!

"At this time we have a few strong candidates for bass/vocals, however any persons interested in auditioning should email [email protected]."

Nile will hit the road this November for an extensive European tour.
