If there have been any means in any respect for me to make the present at Hellfest, imagine me I might be there to take part in Steel. It is simply not doable this time.
“Nevertheless, within the spirit of steel perseverance, the opposite members of Nile — George, Dan, and Zach — will likely be there to play the present as a three-piece. Please present them your help as they bravely give it their all to convey you the music that we in Nile like to share. Your vitality and enthusiasm will make all of the distinction to create an unforgettable expertise for everybody. It’s going to make me blissful to see movies of epic moshing and basic Nile chants at Hellfest from my sickbed!

Jeter added after the efficiency: “Hellfest 2024 was one for the books, to say the least. As a result of sickness, our brother Karl was sadly unable to hitch us on stage. As a lot as we missed him, the present needed to go on. Alongside George Kollias and Dan Vadim Von we crushed this present as a 3 piece!
