Relapse Records will issue \'Legacy of the Catacombs\', a cd and dvd collection highlighting the thus-far career of Nile. Few metal bands can lay claim to a legacy more illustrious than that of Nile. Nile\'s rise to the top of the death metal world is said to be the catalyst that brought the genre back to the forefront of the international metal press and spawned a new generation of death metal fans.
