forest of october/Nile

[the opeth affinity]

Been thinking about the riff mike plays in Forest of october around 6:30 min and i think it might be the half bend but it really reminds of a karl sanders stylr riff, no real point to this post just thought i'd see if anyone else is as overanalytical as me

 

[Deathamphetamine1313]

Are you talking about the slide riff in there? Yeah I could kinda see the Karl influence. That'd be cool...hmm...Forest of October in Drop A...genius!

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Maybe... Sanders is truly one of the greatest players out there.

 

[Deathamphetamine1313]

Amen to that! I'm still pretty proud that I got private lessons from him.

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

Vocal lessons? Cause I think I could imitate him after an evening down at La Bamba authentic Mexican restaurant.

 

[Deathamphetamine1313]

lol nah dude. guitar lessons.

Are Nile guitars tuned to Drop A?

 

[DarkGift]

^Yes they are.

Seriously, he's a great guitarplayer/musician. His growls are totally otherworldy, sounds like a fucking mummy

 

[opeth_353]

I like Nile, but they'd never be my favourite band. And I think his growls are too weak in places.. Can't remember the track name.. The Winds Of Horus i think it is, but i remember just pissing myself laughing at how weak his vocals are in this bit that just sounds like it should break out into pure insanity.

But yes, good band.

hahaha Karl fucking owns! he's more bad ass than most metal artists, and he's older than them all too! i think he needs a beard

 

[DarkGift]

^Yes, like the one he has on the picture on their web page:

Karls vocals fits best when they have these slow doomy passages I think

Nile owns \m/, the egyptian sound they acheive is cool but sometimes it reminds me of a band called Big country who tried to acheive a bag pipes sounds from there guitars lol! (my dad has there cd's not me, just for the record)

Nile are amazing...Ithyphallic is probably one of my favorites.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

Ithyphallic was immensely mediocre compared to BSOV and ITDS. It sounded like left-overs from the AOTW writing sessions.

 

[Deathamphetamine1313]

I thought Ithyphallic was a pretty good album as far as new directions/techniques/sounds for nile. But i will agree that it is nothing compared to black seeds of vengeance.

Black Seeds is pretty much their best album, though Shrines is my favourite.


Ithyphallic was really good I thought. A bit too much like AOTW to be anything new but hopefully their next album will solve that

 

[Superior]

Wow, really guys? When ithyphallic came out was impressed, I think its their best, The songwriting has improved so much from their early work.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

lol.

 

[Eugenics]

I guess it kind of sounds like the beginning of title track off AOTW.

 

[Deathamphetamine1313]

Yeah, I can kinda see where it sounds like Annihilation, but I still think Ithyphallic is great. Def in my Nile top 3. I mean come on...listen to Papyrus!
