nile plays ozzfest

[Astrum]

But why agree to play at a show with scene bands? then to get more exposure to the scene kids (and MTV coverage) and in turn sell more albums to the highschool mall kids, which they supposedly "want to waste by the thousands"

You have shown minimal logic in your time posting here, as shown also in the Shining debate. No more talking from you.

even if that is the case black blood, what's wrong with a band seeking more exposure/more press/bigger fanbase assuming they don't compromise their music at all (which niles obviously hasn't and will not)??

 

[Zephyrus]

I've still got my grudge against Nile for cutting short Hypocrisy's set. I don't need to tell the story again.

 

[Fury of the Storm]

I definitely am going, though I am not sure how the free ticket thing works (it is on their site right?)

ABOUT TIME!

Um, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden?

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I'm surprised at how many people here like Nile, I thought they were considered another shitty brutal DM band around here

 

[Hatebreeder]

get a clue, Nile aren't selling out anytime soon...

Yeah, and perhaps their presence will initiate a brutal DM trend, and soon we'll see Suffocation and Incantation all over MTV.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Nile are actually pretty popular (compared to the rest of metal).

never was a big Priest/Maiden fan until recently. and Black Sabbath is a given.

however Neurosis in 1997 seemed awesome. too bad I never got the chance to see them.

I did buy "Annihilation of the Wicked" from Best Buy, so it must be relatively well-known. Same with Emperor.

As long as you don't think they're shit...

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

nile is one of the most popular modern "true" metal bands along with bands like mastodon, behemoth, etc...

 

[ohiogrinder]

As long as you don't think they're shit...

I don't. but there are NWOBHM bands that I liked better, namely Motorhead, Venom and Angel Witch.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Fair enough

, I introduced a friend today to death and black metal and he said it was a little too extreme for him, not only that but other things as well such as generally the lack of catchiness so you won't be seeing death or black metal become a "trend" for the kids anytime soon.

They are shitty for a brutal DM band, but what the hell do I know right? Anyway they are indeed the best band at ozzfest by far, but that's not really saying anything.

brutal death metal is horrible though as a genre, nile is an excellent death metal band in general

 

[cookiecutter]

I believe the opposite.

nile has a 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x better songwriting than bands like devourment
