Just got Nihility....

[Hammer of Might]

Today I bought Decapitated's album 'Nihility'....



It has blown me away!! It SLAYS!



It's way more brutal than Winds of Creation IMO, and in many ways just more intense. That's not to say I prefer it quite yet, but I think I probably do, at least for now!

P.S. I'm seeing them in 4 days....*drools*

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Er... about time?

 

[Hammer of Might]

Oh congratulations, you've happened to notice that I am announcing this not when it was released, but when I personally heard it.

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Decent album.... not THAT amazing in my mind but it is quite good.

 

[SADUDE]

Wow... You are gonna flip when you actually find the real stuff.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Nihility is my favorite Decapitated, I like it alot more than The Negation

 

[SculptedCold]

There are some quite amazing riffs on Nihility. The noticeable ones on Babylon's Pride and Nihility come to mind.

 

[MURAI]

"The Eye of Horus"

Headbang like mad son.

 

[SculptedCold]

erm, wrong album.

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Oh congratulations, you've happened to notice that I am announcing this not when it was released, but when I personally heard it.

Yeah I know. I was just say its about time that you heard it, kind of like a sarcastic remark thats not suposed to be negative, like "haha, you've only just heard it now, what have you been doing with your life?" :Smug:

 

[SADUDE]

I don't feel the content of this album deserves criticism per se... I just feel like that it as a whole is unnecessary, and not pushing the genre. I know groundbreaking was never a claim though. The essence of this band just seems to be a common factor in all the bands who made this genre what it is. If this record was purchased before some of those, then I would say one should educate themselves on the matter and make those other purchases.
summary: If you know of, and buy certain bands before others, you may save yourself some money. Not to mention the space occupied by cd's I would like to call unnecessary. Thus concludes my unnecessary observation and evaluation.

I know that was too lengthy to describe a very small point. I am trying to be civil in contrast to my normal manner.

 

[MURAI]

erm, wrong album.

Oh... shit...

 

[AsModEe]

I think we all already knew that... well in my case yes.

 

[AsModEe]

this was directed to Samude... but you made a good point anyway.

 

[AsModEe]

I quite liked Nihility... but is the Negation better or worse?? If worse, can you explain why?

 

[Life Sucks]

Nihility is quite a good album. I think Winds of Creation is my favorite though. I have not heard the whole Negation CD yet though.

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Winds of Creation is a step up from this album

 

[SADUDE]

I would delete my previous post. But I will let it stand as a reminder of my arrogance. I will just un-say it.

 

[Barnolde]

I used to like Nihility more than WoC, then I listened to WoC some more, and now I like it better. Regardless of that seemingly useless comment, good choice, Nihility is a great album. Download the video for 'Sphere of Madness' as well.

Nihility is by far their best album, due to the following factors:

- The songs have got a staccatto feel that I really like
- Good production (I like the triggered bass drums, actually - machine like and cold )
- Killer riffs (Perfect Dehumanization, 1:05, Mother War's opening riff, etc)
- More variety than on the other albums
