In Their Darkened Shrines is the third studio album by American death metal band Nile. It was released on August 20, 2002 through Relapse Records. The lyrics to In Their Darkened Shrines IV: Ruins are borrowed from the H. P. Lovecraft short story, "The Nameless City". These lyrics are not actually spoken in the song, as it is an instrumental. Along with In Their Darkened Shrines I: Hall of Saurian Entombment, the lyrics are supplementary to the theme of the instrumental. The two main melodies of Unas Slayer Of The Gods are a tribute to Gothic Stone/The Well of Souls by Candlemass, from their classic doom metal album Nightfall.
