Nile were a driving and innovative force in death metal during their prime, which makes me wonder what happened to them in the current scene. Incantation/Immolation consistently tour and have loads of fans of that occult death metal style (spawning loads of clone bands), Dying Fetus can still sell out mid sized venues, Suffocation (sans Mullen) is still kicking as well- but poor Nile just hasnt seem to have kept up with these bands.


Rise, fall and decline. And perhaps, a re-emergence, by a slim chance.

Truly without rival and remarkably timeless, never to be repeated. Incomparable. How can a debut's musical ideas be so complete and flawless, is a mystery to me.

Why are these two early releases so alluring and seductive? So charismatic and enticing? I never seem to get enough and never shall I.

Ample time for all-time favourites. One must pay a tightly-knitted attention to the guitar attack amongst everything else.

From what I've seen online Nile has a reputation for not being great live. For what it's worth I really enjoyed their last album, and am greatly looking forward to next year's release.

The production and the overall sound from all instruments on this recording are so enormously powerful. My great love for the bass sound and the bass playing and also the drums are so well-placed. And Hetfield and his rhythm guitars. And the solos! The sheer mass of sound. Oh dear lord. Never gets old.

Fantastically stylish rock/metal. However you wish to classify it, although many times, typifying music falls into ambiguities. An outstanding album, regardless of the wishful desire to pin it down.

Contrary experiences, but two extraordinary releases, no less.

A rarity and a delicacy upon the generic landscapes filled with excessive fats and preservatives.

Great dramatizers and extraordinary musicians with a wealth of knowledge of the craft of music.
