consdering the above, why do people laugh when I say nile has some parts and songs that are very doom metal-esque?
LOL, all of Nile's compositions blow Behemoth's away. Their Arrgements are simple and generic. Nile's are quite complex. Behemoth is generic, especially that last album.
Dude, we should totally get into a pointless, circular debate over which band is more complex or generic.

Nile never played black metal, and Behemoth's death metal material still owns anything Nile put out.
lol, Behemoth is not that good. I dont get this. I understand people like Behemoth more because of their black metal. But their death metal doesnt come anywhere near Nile
It seems pretty obvious to me that Behemoth owns Nile. Obviously they're both competent death metal bands, but Nile's stuff sounds all the same to me, whereas Behemoth adds interesting dynamics and unusual rhythms which make me appreciate their music more as a whole. Damn awesome vocals, too.
I like really like Behemoth but truth is they aren't much more than an above-average polish death metal band. There's tons of bands that sound like them. And I would agree they are overrated but they've been fairly successful commercially so its no surprise that they are more popular than Nile.
Oh, and I suppose there aren't tons of bands who sound like Nile? It's death metal we're talking about. The genre is full of derivative sound-alikes. At least I can tell Behemoth songs apart from each other.
