[FRUGiHOYi]

what is the point of this? i love nile.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

mh, they are ok i guess. not really impressive tho

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

They used to blow. AotW was a lot better than I expected it to be.

 

[Powers]

Nile fucking pwns.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I'm actually listening to Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka right now. I love Nile, and to disagree with Forest of Asatru, i actually think AOTW is their weakest album. My favorite album is Black Seeds of Vengeance. A lot of people dislike nile because they think the whole egyptology thing gets old after an album or two (which i disagree with), but even so, their riffs, drums, and vocals fucking kill. Brutal and technical with some cool melodies in there. Yeah, as you can see, Nile is one of my favorite bands.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Oh, and at their most recent gig in Worcester, MA i spoke with Dallas Toler-Wade for a little while, and he's a fuckin cool dude.

I think the production on BSOV completely blows, but other than that, amazing. IMO they should get the masters and have Neil Kernon remix and remaster BSOV, the production on that album is just...terrible.

I wish I could have seen them live. If I was into them last April they played at the Troc, but this leg the closest they played was NY and my dad won't go to anywhere but Philly or Jersey.

 

[Tumn]

First album is good, they are boring as shit live. Not worth going to see them.

 

[SpanglishEggroll]

I go to Texas A&M University and Karl Sanders is a grad student here

 

[WinterSonnet]

Tumn- what concert is your avatar from?

Also- Love Nile but never heard them live before- any specific reason why they are boring as hell or just overall?

 

[Detric]

Awesome band. They have made some good records, but nothing tops In Their Darkened Shrines, I never get tired of that album.

 

[Indrid Cold]

One of my favorites - AOTW is probably my album of choice and I can't listen to "Cast down the heretic" enough

 

[sister ophelia]

Saw Nile at festivals in 2001 and 2005. Each time they failed to impress. Still I purchased "In their darkened shrines" recently and was pleasantly surprised. A great album indeed.

 

[Lietuvis]

I have only heard two songs... "Sacrifice Unto Sebek" and "Sarcophagus". I can say that I liked the latter much more.

Could some recommend me an album with songs like "Sarcophagus"?

 

[sister ophelia]

"Sarcophagus" can be found on "In their darkened shrines"...

 

[FullMetalCornflake]

Um, they don't do anything for me. I saw them live and they were good, but nothing special...

I recently went to their show the last time they were in Los Angeles and at the last moment decided to leave before they went up on stage.

Flame all you want, I don't care, I only went to see Hypocrisy...

 

[Kenneth R.]

Tumn- what concert is your avatar from?

Bloodbath.

Nile is a good band.

 

[A Fair Judgment]

Never hearing anything from Nile before, I bought Annihilation of the Wicked back in January because I really wanted to see what everyone was speaking so highly of. Well after hearing it the only word that came to mind was "Wow!". I can't wait to purchase all the others.

 

[brotherman]

all hail RAMSES, BRINGER OF WAR!!

nile is one of my favorite bands but i agree with wolftribe, AotW felt a little uninspired.
