Nile

[Death_To_False_Metal]

In Their Darkenned Shrines is the equivalent of St Pepper for death metal !
Ten years from now, this album will be included in all 10 best death metal albums of all time lists if not best metal albums of all time lists !

The performance on drums by Tony Laureano is incredible : speed, creative patterns, cymbal playing, more fills than in the entire's Rush catalog !

This album has everything : growls from egyptian Gods, fastests tunes on earth, doomy riffs heavier than your moma, great egyptian/oriental references and a prog epic à la Rush's 2112 to conclude this masterpiece of an album !

Nile reigns supreme among us pathetic human beings !

Love them. Best show I've seen when they came to Sydney.

wintersonnet: bloodbath, wacken open air 2005... it was said to be recorded on dvd...great performance anyway

 

[MasterOLightning]

AOTW is by far their best effort. I don't like ITDS much besides Unas and Sarcophagus. BSOV definitely needs better production, but it's pretty good. Last time I saw them live they had major sound issues. It was rather disappointing.

Lykathea Aflame owns this band in every regard.

 

[Rotten Flesh]

I like 'em pretty much. But the older stuff like Devinde Intent

 

[Hypnos]

love them. definitely the best death metal band nowadays

 

[daz436]

[DaphnesFall]

[KjeXXXer]

I like AOTW, good shit.

 

[DaphnesFall]

I know there is/was a thread on this, but they are pushing death metal. They are the shit.

I strongly recommend In Their Darkened Shrines.

 

[Fredy_Brown]

Like it, one of the best DM here.
I like In Their Darkened Shrines most.

 

[A_Tossed_Dwarf]

Definitely a fucking awesome death metal band.

Their live show left something to be desired, but so do most death metal bands'.

 

[Fredy_Brown]

As far as I know they have problems with sound...true?

Personally I think Annihilation of the Wicked is their best album, solid all the way through. Cast Down the Heretic has been my favourite tune for some time. In their Darkened Shrines has it's moments, such as the Blessed Dead, Unas, and Invocation to Seditious Heresy, but there's several tracks on there I skip. I even prefer Black Seeds of Vengeance to ITDS. Still a really good album though.

BTW First post in 2 years or so. . .

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

yea I reckon Annialation of the wicked & In the darkened shrines are the best albums..

 

[Ebonic Plague]

Great Band Karl Sanders Solo effort is very good to

 

[SacredReich]

ITDS and AOTW have to come close...I like some of the experimetning on ITDS, but then again, the newer release does have the two epics, the title track and von unnaussprechlichen kulten.

their live show in sydney absolutely fucking pwned.

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

What exactly do you mean by experimenting? That lame spoken-word growl part or... what? Not a whole lot on there that hadn't been covered on the first two albums.
