No no no no no no no no no no no no no...you listened to a CD-R once. Null and void opinion. :tickled:
Actually it was more like 2.5 times, but you are right that I need to give them another go. :tickled:

There are two death metal masterpieces:
Morbid Angel - Domination
Carcass - Heartwork

Really close possibilities:
Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines
Edge of Sanity - Crimson
Hypocrisy - Abducted, The Final Chapter, & s/t
 
Do you see/consider them to be "fake" since they are from Texas and have lyrical themes about Celtic mythology and occultism? Just curious.
 
Like I said, 95% of metal is fiction, and I'm down with that yo. It's escapism - if anything, there should be MORE escapism! I'm a bit tired of all these 'oh woe is me' bands. Get some fun and fantasy back in the mix.

Fake or fiction, pick your poison. All the same to me.

Now if Orphaned Land sing songs about arabs and jews, the culture, the politics, the drama, tragedy, and most importantly, the HISTORY!! etc. it's going to be a lot more genuine than some dude living in Nebraska watching Fox News and making notes.

So does this mean Absu is full of shit since their music is based on occultism and Celtic mythology, and they are from Texas?

Also, since Proscriptor is from Texas and in Melechesh, does this mean Melechesh are only 75% honest?

yes .. now you are seeing my train of thought :loco:

honestly, i just have a bone to pick with Nile ... they irk me beyond words.
the only pyramid they have ever seen in their life is the fucking Luxor in Vegas. :Spin:

I agree with you on that, but fucking Nile has been milking this Egyptian thing and will not give it a rest ... their fucking name is NILE for God's sake.

Get on a fucking plane and drag your fat honky ass to the pyramids at least.

Fuck, my poor ass construction worker friend went on his honeymoon to fucking Egypt ... i am sure someone who makes a career out of it would at least visit.
(and before you say anything, the band admited that they have never been there)

Fuck, that's like Motley Crue admitting they never banged porn stars or been in a strip club.

Nile is as poser as you can get ...:headbang: :headbang:
 
I think it's like the 10 year old boy-hates-girl syndrome, you secretly looooooooooove ol' Karly...

EDIT: God damn line break. Well anyone on 1024x768 resolution gets the idea, you're supposed to be gazing longingly at his stubby-fingered-never-been-to-Egypt ass. :loco:
 
I'm digging the BRT video - reminds me of the mighty MALEVOLENT CREATION!! crossed w some Cannibal Corpse. Pretty good DM; nice and crunching!! As for Driving music...

Malevolent Creation - Retribution
Death - Human
Obituary - Cause Of Death
Deicide - Deicide
 
Melechesh is one of the most overrated bands on this board, by the way. I like two of their songs, both are from Sphynx. Djinn just plain blows.

I think some of you are so overwhelmed with promos, that when a band like Melechesh or Nile puts in a souless exotic sounding riff in their music ... you deem it as genius and different.

Dude, what do you expect? FOr them to sing about blood and guts just like every other DM band. They aren't milking it anymore than Absu or Morbid Angel (but we forgive them, right??).

Hell, if they ever did move beyond the Egypt thing, you'd be the first in line calling them sellouts. :Smug::p
 
yes, please sing about blood, guts, weather, forests and creatures in the forest ... not pyramids and sarco"fags" :D

they are worse then sellouts ... they are posers :D
 
so if Sanders visits Egypt, then all is well then, right? or does he need to band a few egyptian whores?
 
if he can fit his fat ass inside an actual pyramid and take a picture holding a camel's hram ... all is forgiven and I will worship them as they worship egyptian books in the library. :D
 
check out the update from the Nile camp; Steve Tucker helping out at bassand backup vocals:

Hello dearest Nile fans ,
I must now share some
recent developments within the band.

Jon Vesano has left the band .
He has decided that he will stay at his day job ,
which was not mutually compatable with Nile's Touring commitments.
and work on his Dark Moon project on weekends/spare time.

Jon has emphasized that while he realizes the incredibly bad position his sudden decision puts the band , that there is absolutely nothing personal towards the other members of Nile involved in his decision , only that it is in his long term personal interest not give up his day job and lifestyle for the sake of the upcoming Nile tours.

The show , as they say, must go on ,
with only a matter of days notice from Jon before our upcoming tour ,
Nile has enlisted the temporary bass services of Steve Tucker for the european run -
and Krieshloff of Lecherous Nocturne for the American King Diamond tour;
while we consider options for a more permanent solution to our now vacant bass position.

Also , the band will now be moving Dallas over to the lead vocal spot in center stage , as Dallas had been recently taking over more and more vocal duties .
Dallas also gave an incredibly crushing vocal performance on the new album, so it seems like now is as good a time as any for the band to
to go ahead and move Dallas over to centerstage.

It is not very well known, but Dallas fronted every single band he was in
before Joining Nile, and I have seen first hand his utmost musically commanding capacity in this regard. We had considered moving Dallas over when Chief left years ago , but for various reasons we just left our onstage arrangements as they had been for some time with our 3 vocal attack.

In any case , there will probably be an official statement from Jon/World Management tomorrow.
