Death Metal

Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten is one of the fucking best songs ever...

Agreed.

The new Nile album is the best thing they've done, but I'm re-listening to their material due to a concert coming up, and damn In Their Darkened Shrines is so much better then I remember. I love "The Blessed Dead" and "Unas Slayer of the Gods".

Yes the latest is their best.

I've always been a little confused by Nile's success. They're not bad by any stretch of the imagination but I don't hear anything that makes them so amazing either.

I see a lot of these in sigs, how are they being made?

 

[metal_wrath]

Maybe because they are are a highly skilled atypical Death Metal band with epic songs and fairly accessible?

When I had one I just pasted a bunch of band logos I found on google images into something on microsoft paint. pretty simple

I use photoshop

 

[A Journeys End]

I use photoshop

why are his logos much more defined than yours?

 

[JGMetalhead]

Because I uploaded it as a jpg...

 

[Krow]

Because he used images that were too small.

 

[JGMetalhead]

And I uploaded it at a lesser quality.

 

[A Journeys End]

what's better than a jpg? png?

 

[A Journeys End]

and how do I steal some of his logos but not the gay ones like Asphyx?

 

[JGMetalhead]

png or gif are the best ones to use. I don't know why I used jpg, its pretty poor for high quality graphics.

 

[metal_wrath]

JPG can be good quality. MS Paint just ruins the quality when you save as JPG. You can save the file as a BMP and use an online program to convert them, like this http://www.coolutils.com/Online-Image-Converter.php#

I still really like Nile out of the first few death metal bands I started out with getting into death metal. AotW is one of my favourite albums to chuck on along with BSoV and ItDS, I think Ithyphallic is pretty boring though and I quite like their new one.

edit: Not Death Metal but Candlemass's Gothic Stone has exactly the same melody as the start of Unas the Slayer of Gods.

About to be a live stream of Suffocation here http://www.theravelive.com/webcast/ you'll have to register real quick.

The only reason you shouldn't be watching is if you are there. They are owning that stage like no other, Mullen is a fucking beast. Everyone is dying because its so metal.

And jesusfuck the breakdown in Liege of Inveracity is so fucking godkillingly heavy.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

whoa, Nile talk. rare around these parts.
the new disk is pure win! Ithy was a let down. but me being a huge fan, I still liked it.

Nothing by them is amazing, but they are just a completely solid band that knows exactly what they are doing.
