Amerykański zespół death metalowy z Greenville założony w 1993 r. przez kolegów z thrashowego Morriah - Sandersa, Spikesa i Hammourę.
Ekipa znana jest z nieszablonowego podejścia do śmierć metalu przez liczne nawiązania do muzyki bliskiego wschodu i tekstów dotyczących głównie mitologii i historii Starożytnego Egiptu. W ich twórczości pojawiają się tez inne wpływy np. fragmenty dzieła Gustawa Holsta - "Planets".
W tym roku szeregi zespołu opuścił długoletni gitarzysta i wokalista Dallas Toler-Wade.
