"The subterranean slumber of Nile mastermind Karl Sanders’ Eastern-ambient Saurian series finally ceases with the third chapter of his darkly hypnotizing saga, Saurian Apocalypse! The album’s musical and lyrical themes detail the vexing fictional journey of Dr. Eduardo Lucciani, one of very few survivors of mankind’s self-destruction, who descends into madness after discovering the violent horrors occurring at the hands of the Saurian Masters. Emphasized by unique instruments like the baglama saz (Turkish lute), Ancient Egyptian Anubis Sistrum, Dumbek (Middle Eastern goblet drum), glissentar and gongs, the album’s score weaves cinematic auras and deep grooves, accented by the tribal percussive stylings of original Nile drummer Pete Hammoura and returning Saurian vocalist Mike Breazeale.

Honed to crystalline distillation in the years between 2009’s Exorcisms and the current Apocalypse, a wealth of musical and growth and refinement, both in Sanders’ guitar technique and compositional development, is strikingly evident. The album is a shining advancement in the Saurian series, and the most dynamic, detailed Karl Sanders solo release yet. Eons more than just an album of interludes or ambient scores, Saurian Apocalypse excels as a cohesive, meticulously perfected sonic narrative that any music lover will be transfixed by."
