New Nile track

[dorian gray]

will be funny to see him play that ... given that he is like 5'2' and 250lbs.

hahahaha

the new one is simply not that good. bolt thrower and Rudra released better albums.

 

[Henrik Main]

"Annihilation Of The Wicked" was one of the worst DM releases of 2005. So damn disappointing. Uninspired riffs that go nowhere, over-polished production. Avoid at all costs.

I can understand maybe not loving the album, but "uninspired riffs?" "go nowhere?" "over-polished production?"

Maybe your cat took a poop in your ears? :Spin:

Or maybe I've reached the point where one doesn't get extremely impressed by pointless solo wankery, OMG OMG SO TECHNICAL musicianship and ten minutes dull "DM epics" anymore

Nah, seriously, I like a lot of death metal (my favourite metal genre by far), but this here Nile record is just a waste of time, except "Cast Down The Heretic" and "Lashed To The Slave Stick" (the only songs on the record that actually have decent riffs).

I hate cats btw

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

lol, ok

diff'rint strokes, diff'rint folks, you know how it is

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, the new Nile is certainly not epic like their previous. Title track to "Darkened Shrines" anyone?

There's perhaps 3 really good standout tracks on the new Nile, and the rest is perfectly ok. I just preferred their previous outings.

Rudra is epic so it wins me over. Bolt Thrower has a few new twists and turns (inspired groove a la disco beats, haha), but for straight up death metal in '05 I'd probably give it to Naglfar.

Overall though, I'm no death metal guru. In fact, it might be my least favourite genre overall. Not enough Pestilence, too much Hate Eternal bollocks.

...."Lashed To The Slave Stick" (the only songs on the record that actually have decent riffs).

Actually, the last 4 tracks on the new Nile are pretty great, including "Lashed". The title track is outstanding. It's like the whole second half is better than the first.

Ali, I love ya man, but new Naglfar is 1,000,000 miles from death metal

I listened to it a couple times more and stick by my original assessment of it being the 3rd-best Naglfar album (after Vittra & the massive Sheol), giving it an 8/10.

Genre labels suck, but fwiw, they call themselves death metal so I comply.

They do? I guess black/death, i.e. Dissection-worship w/ slightly more keys.

Check out my fab top of 2005 list for the very best of 2005 DM .

I would not call Naglfar DM either, btw.

 

[JayKeeley]

Who knows, and who cares, but from the Melodic Black Metal thread:

Naglfar call themselves death metal fwiw

Current Naglfar bassist played drums in Lethal for about 2 rehearsal and does backing vocals on the forthcoming 7" am I KOOL now or smth

Willy has spoken.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Erik doesn't know anything.

Naglfar is melodic black metal, or black/death. I'll accept either.

 

[Reign in Acai]

For my boy Krigloch...

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah, heard it a couple weeks ago.
like usual, cant wait for the next Nile disk.

 

[Agalloch]

Still waiting for them to top Black Seeds.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Won't happen.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Damn, I've listened to this track a good half dozen times. Dig eet.

 

[Reign in Acai]

New tracking, digging this one as well.
