I'll be honest, I haven't heard much from either band, probably one full song from both and little bits of other's. I found I simply couldn't get through listening to them.
Nile...they arent the greatest band but the fact that they have sooo much history in there lyrics like most people said here ... not many bands do that PLUS!!! they explaine the song... for example hmm the song user-maat-re after you are done reading the lyrics they give you a way better explanation this is the first sentence of what they put down! (user-maat-re was the throne name of ramsses 2nd) and it goes on ... plus i like the style of music... the singer isint the greatest but he has improved give them a chance including there new album
i didnt really get a chance to read everything posted here so if someone has typed something like this dont blame me lol
