About this album

Ithyphallic is the fifth studio album by American band Nile. It was released on July 17, 2007 through Nuclear Blast, in both standard and digipak formats. It is the band’s first album released on Nuclear Blast, since signing with them in May 2006. It is also the band’s first album since Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka not to feature notes explaining the context of the lyrics. 1000 limited edition copies of the album were released in a pyramid-shaped box containing the disc, several images, a certificate of ownership and a scroll containing the lyrics and liner notes from the album.

“Ithyphallic” is a word that means “to have the penis erect.” This refers to many Egyptian gods of fertility, as this is how they were represented.
