Big-ass epic death metal with the usual Egyptian and Lovecraftian themes. Often technical and usually intense throughout most every song.
(((((1))))) Giant intro then blasting death metal, great riffing all the way through.
((((2)))) Pretty technical death metal ‘ala Morbid Angel but denser and riffy.
((((3)))) Doomy in the start then buries you with a ton of riffs and ultra-fast rage that pulls back here & there.
((((4))) Crazed tech-metal structure that actually works insane speed. Lyrics are actually understandable at times.
(((((5))))) Solid midpaced death-doom to giving way to occasionally blast.
((((((6))))) Absurdly fast and intense DM. Holy fuck is this fast!
((((7))))) Also very fast but oddly catchy in the melodic hooks in the riffage and the vocal structures.
((((8)))) Typical of Nile but another good acoustic “traditional Egyptian” interlude.
((((9)))) Weirdly lo-fi and guttural not unlike #7 but more focused on the rage.
(((((10))))) More “big fuckin’ epics” steady, riffy and expansive. A nice mix of death/doom and lots of rad percussion parts in the latter half.
(((11))) Sounds like the “no vocals” version of about 10 of their songs. Meh.
((((12)))) Furious and explosive death metal that just gets faster then faster. If you love blast beats – you’ll love this.
