Nile - Unas Slayer of the Gods

[MrFunkysatan]

long song to learn,but i did it,on bass guitar (easy riffs,but so fucking MANY,for a guy who play mostly funk like me that is HARD to remember)

[Newcomer181]

One of my favorite death metal bands :)

[filth69ify1]

Best death metal band ever

[RiseoftheHammer]

The beggining is EXACTLY the same with candlemass Gothic Stone, do you know if this melody is from somewhere else?

[FimmyV]

@RiseoftheHammer Karl Sanders admits that he took it from the Candlemass song. It's no secret.

[MarcosVAlves87]

WONDERFUL

[entoniopchins]

MASTERPIECE!!!

[NverEnoughDeathMetal]

new crappy style for youtube and no new love button for nile on youtube? fuck you, youtube.

[KyleArran33]

@5:56 Reminds me of the horn of gondor !

[adamDSK]

ONE M0:00RE TIME !

[unasslayerofthegods0]

Spettacolare... finisco in un altro mondo quando la ascolto

[entoniopchins]

@unasslayerofthegods0 le sensazioni che regala questa canzone (e questo capolavoro di cd) sono UNICHE!!!

[kristijan1985]

this was the closing song in Serbia in 2008, they finished us with this song :)

[Eraser667]

9:42 fucking hell yeah...

[BlastBeatsful]

@Eraser667 I know man, so fuckin powerful.

[nekkro92]

HIS EXISTENCE IS EVERLASTING

[reverendmeta]

Unas Hath Taken Possession

of the Hearts of the Gods

Unas Feedeth on their Entrails

He Hath gorged on their Unuttered Sacred Words

He Hath Assimilated the Wisdom of the Gods

His Existence is Everlasting!!

[patatakaintomata]

the ONLY good thing about this song is the intro which is fucking STOLEN from Candlemass!!! other than that they suck so much its not even funny!!!!!

[nekkro92]

@patatakaintomata nobody feed the troll

[lunchboxwhmpa]

I love from 1:53 to 1:59! The background vocals just make it sound so good "EEH YAHH!! EHH YAHH"...that's what it sounds like to me.

[MultiSilentAssassin]

00:55-1:11 one of the best parts of the song

[skyefox]

This song is an epic ballad. That's really they only way to describe it. And I don't use the word "epic" like some Call of Duty NewFag. I mean epic as a literary term.

[SpiritMolecule1]

NILE= Awesome!

Karmablade= The new hope for Metal

[KV286]

Question: The wikipedia page for this album lists Jon Vesano as "lead vocals", but I always thought Karl Sanders was the main vocalist. Can anyone put me straight here?

[metalhed1100]

@KV286 actually they all do vocals they take turns throughout verses so theirs no real "lead vocal" but no "backing vocals" they all do vocals watchem live but thats just what it looks like to me :)

[6l6gcax7]

Too cool..NILE rips!

[latinodude85]

This song is the epitome of death metal epicness...

[NverEnoughDeathMetal]

will you please upload the rest of the song

[zjbeast]

I paused my porn to listen to this..I am going to rape the hell out of the replay button..!!!

[515digger]

Nile kicks ass.

[Ancientfire2]

I am a pretty big nile fan, but the fact that they stole the intro tune from candlemess is just a bit weak !

[decornt]

@Ancientfire2

They didn't steal it, it's a homage.

[moshaksmoshaks]

One of my fav of Nile ,, we need dis Band In Egypt \m/ hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaa

[MrAndrith]

MUST LISTEN TO THIS ONE MORE TIME..... and again.... and again........and again.....

[GodAdmit]

You know someone's awesome when you see some little blond girl walking around clad in pink and her ringtone is this song XD

[fforced]

5:25 i was headbanging when suddenly i started to walk slowly," whom do i have to Slay", in my mind ==}}===-----

[Jendonos]

the solo at 6:26 makes me want to slay the fucking gods

[ProfessionalWhiteGuy]

@Jendonos

That sounds like a really nerdy way of jacking off.

[PiercedGenitalia]

I have seen them live so many times, and sprained my neck so many times. It's hard to headbang for 13 minutes!

[NverEnoughDeathMetal]

here for my daily like

[Thatmetaldude590]

Oh so awesome!

[latinodude85]

From 5:26 to 6:08: Epitome of epicness!

[10inchheels]

A dyslexic (or stoner?) might read this and wonder what the gods need an anus slayer for.

[PincessKink]

THIS TURNS ME THE FUCK ON

[MrTheD1992]

This song is a great example of musicianship and perfect arangement!

[YmustTh3w0rldG0r0und]

ALL HAIL NILE!!

[puckay]

Yeah, rather redicoulous. But instead of complaing on a forum, you guys SHOULD be complaining at youtube's ppl themselves. Maybe then you would get something to change...

[Ragna74]

I have to listen to this again and again...

[NverEnoughDeathMetal]

and much fucking thanks to reznor for uploading this!!!!

[NverEnoughDeathMetal]

had a horrible day and this song just made me fucking happy!!! fucking thank you NILE!!!!!

[MultiDannyboy89]

This is very complex music, definitely not for everyone. Great riffing and soloing by Sanders!!!

[MultiDannyboy89]

@MultiDannyboy89 Awesome song all the way!!!

[Luzzu17]

TOO SHORT !! ><

[BlaiseTheSlayer]

Nile is thinking people's death metal

[Screenstripes]

With The Egyptian Mythology theme plus Death Metal musicality, I think Septic Flesh dethrones Nile very easily ... This is souless in my humble opinion. Only grunts, growlings and orc sounds with a little bit of egyptian influences in the background doesn't make any band the best in the world. Just my point of view, don't impale me

[sdwlsdwl]

@Screenstripes Septic Flesh isnt musch of a Egyptian themed band.only their Communion album is bassed off of egyptian themes

[6Thanos6Daemon6]

@sdwlsdwl you are so wrong, anywayz both bands are fuckin great no doubt about that =)

[pilotenhandboek]

@Screenstripes Not going to impale you, just simply state that your point of view is wrong. Nile is WAY better.

[NverEnoughDeathMetal]

Never ever enough! Death metal and ancient Egyptian music FTW!

[IvoXMeTaL]

This is my favorite Nile song

[63AIONSON]

Yes Down at the Well In Leeds one of the best Anti Semitic Gigs I ever went to, Nile really showed there Musical Skill, Bloody Awesome

[banmen0w]

Sound at 5:00 onward is creepy and awesome.

[OfficialChokmah]

Words can not do this song enough justice. It's everything good music should be: an amalgamation of various influences into one amazing masterpiece of sound.

[animatedmurder]

just bought this album,i love to just sit back and groove to this album...my therapist thinks there is something wrong with me...

[engulfedinbrutality]

I don't understand how this album gets such a bad rep, I mean seriously this is some of their best stuff!

[andrew12awesome]

I lives how they used the riff from "The well of souls" by Cabdlemass in the intro

[w4gn0r]

@andrew12awesome I was just going to say that! Note for note ripoff.

[andrew12awesome]

@w4gn0r Its not really a rip off its more of Nile's way to pay tribute to Candlemass.

[jazzyfrvr]

La mejor rola de Nile, sin duda....

[Metalhorns96]

This band is so epic and brutal. The intro is so amazing

[MrMegaRattlehead]

11 min orgasm!

[darklordbaf]

I would like to see the day some deathcore band makes something this monlithic

[MegaMetalDemon]

wait so when did nile form exactly? ive been listeningto them for a while but havent really looked up their history alot, someone said in the 80's but then someone said in the early 2000's? anybody know?

[XIPH0S707]

@MegaMetalDemon Nile formed in 1993, & Karl Sanders is to Nile as Dave Mustaine is to Megadeth, or as Muhammed Suicmez is to Necrophagist - the creator or mostly everything. Karl Sanders was originally in a Thrash Metal band called Moriah, they toured with a little young band called MORBID ANGEL, needless to say, David Vincent, and Trey Azagthoth had a HUGE impact on him. He has always been into egyptology, so he decided to form Nile in 1993. Their debut album came in 1998. Hope this helps!

[TheMusicOfWhy]

this shit aint no good where is the screamin like nickelabcc k and linkin park and trivium? Hu

[l0rd1o1]

@TheMusicOfWhy the 3 shit arse bands that you listed don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same name as nile they are total trash, you must be one of the new age morons that parade around thinking and claiming they like metal, go suck a hot topic tit boy

[SchCls]

2 people should be eaten by Unas

[HonourValourPride]

Unas is rising!

[stenchofcorpse]

Intro sounds like "Gothic Stone" of Candlemass. No?

[pcmaniac6]

@stenchofcorpse Nile have said that this song is a tribute to Candlemass or smth. look it up on wikipedia

[soadilias]

@stenchofcorpse its a tribute to Candlemass...they mention it..

[decornt]

@stenchofcorpse It is.

[Malachi01]

@stenchofcorpse yep, thats exactly what it is, they took the idea from that song ;)

[WayOfTheBastard]

Best nile song .

[AresCosmos]

i really hope these guys arent reptilian

[teetertot56]

its be insane in concert btw

[grazygood]

@teetertot56 been there (A) @graspop 2010

[teetertot56]

[slim0221]

this song is a fucking masterpiece

[SECtennesseeSEC]

Classic album....

[Arcatera94]

great song !!!

[BlackupKnight]

This song gives me chills, probably my favorite.

[Wyndrax]

00:00 - 00:38

"I bind unto myself... Today, the strong name of the Trinity!!"

[Ragnareich]

@Wyndrax Break the circle and all hell comes loose. The Well of Souls must stay sealed!

[Wyndrax]

@Ragnareich Hell yeah!

[ryder187mac]

@Wyndrax \m/

Candlemass ftw, haha, the riff's in there as a homage to Candlemass.

[TheCrypticwrath]

great ! same level as "user maat re"

[zxzx652plox]

Black metal/death metal have the great vocabulary in any type of music

[zaabi100]

i bet if the pharos were here,,, they would have loved this song....

they would have been into nile's music....

HAIL NILE \m/

[Pilot177013]

@zaabi100... I couldn't agree more. I would love to see the look on their faces at a live show with massive speakers, and power in sound which they could never have imagined in those days... they would certainly have thought it was godlike!

[VampirePraemium]

I'm so going to have this played at my 18 year old birthday along with Opeth's "Master's Apprentices" and Vital Remains "Dechristianize".

[darkomen1290]

I love how these guys are so smart, just like Behemoth

[TEXChris420]

This is the good stuff.

[samuraiblaze666]

This one song took me from liking "catchy songs on the radio" to having a deep interest and appreciation for all music. This song introduced me to music. Thank god for Nile \m/

[darklordbaf]

Cannibal Corpse, Nile and Death! /,,/

[0007123451]

One of Nile's most epic songs \m/

[ihaveallseeingeyes]

the main riff of the song, it really touches me.

amazing!

[7Martin77]

seriously, the solo give me the chills

awesome song! >=D

[cameneroz28]

at 5 minutes and on till the horn and solo it sounds badass thats the best part of the whole song all the acustic parts are awesome too i used to love this song back in highschool but ive outgrown it now it was awesome to hear it again

[IAmEnormous]

Easily their best song.

[90cta395]

Listen to this while playing GOW 3

[KingProgdor]

Well they sure as hell weren't kidding about this song taking heavy influence from the Candlemass song 'The Well of Souls.'

[UnasSlayerOfTheGods1]

This song gives me an orgasm

[DimeisGod04]

0:55 your balls get crushed and decimated. Unruly brutality.

[soniramsonitnatsnok]

9:40...detonation...

[pokerrear]

i like from 5:22 on

[egarran]

Living On Utterances of Fire

Ïa! Ïa! Ïa!

[offitcock]

these guys are fuckin scholars man

[Creeper2012]

@offitcock Scholars and Gentlemen!

[killswitch916]

Wow I officially feel like a total ass-monkey for not listening to Nile until just recently. Perhaps because I recently got into death metal, but either way, Nile is the shit

[brainbanx]

gotta love those slow chugging palm mutes, especially with headphones on

[nnnnnnnnnh]

hell yeah brainbanx fucking ears are bleeding and it feels great lol

[Gnoorf]

Nile is the best fucking DeathMetal band in the world...This is pure, and brootal...\m/

[xxpeniskingxx]

@Gnoorf You've clearly never heard of Opeth, Death, Meshuggah or Strapping Young Lad.

[Gnoorf]

@xxpeniskingxx I said death metal. Meshuggah is my favourite band but in my oppinion they are experimental metal. Opeth are progressive. And im not into Death and SYL, but i've heard of them, and i got their stuffs, but i dont like them much.

[lloydd4]

@Gnoorf it's Black metal... lol Egyptian Black Metal to be precise.. know your genre's or shut up lol

[c0rpseflower]

@lloydd4 ha. no dude. it's american death metal. Egyptian themed.

[MrSatanochio]

@c0rpseflower Not AMERICAN, just DEATH METAL. Egyptian themed. 

[c0rpseflower]

@MrSatanochio by "american" I mean they're from South Carolina.

[Nvllin]

@lloydd4 FAILOL

[ProfessionalWhiteGuy]

@lloydd4

Shamefur dispray.

[decornt]

@lloydd4 lolz you're trolling.

[crystalblade20]

Damn, why have I never listened to this album before? This is fucking awesome!

[tridnt52]

aww, u should have included the melody at the end bro...dunno 'bout the others but i liked it quite a lot.

[reznor07]

11 minute time limit.

[tridnt52]

hmm, i've always wondered actually y no one ever uploaded the full version of this 16 min track i lyk....it's just sad.

[frodosauce]

...its 11:42 or 11:43 if I remember right, not 16 mins....

[kingdrews]

beautiful, its like death for my ears :D

[ThePharaoh91]

WOOOW, awesome! ...and very pharaonic.

[maitogai1657]

thats because the song is a tribute to Candlemass and thats the riff the decided to honour.

[jigabop]

basically they get hella drunk and study ancient egyptian history and mythology to come up with songs. this song in particular he was not satisfied with because he could not tell the whole story of unas in it. it would have taken up an entire album for just one song if he did.

[maquadago]

are they from egypt?

[reznor07]

No, they are from South Carolina. Although the founder, Karl Sanders, is very knowledgeable about egyptian mythology.

[sk8ordie97]

and the drummer is from greece

karl is more than knowledgeable, he has a degree in egyptology

[Zakkpaulo]

not in this song, the drummer in this album was Tony Laureano

[elektrolurch1000]

@reznor07 Yet he's never been there afaik.

[kam5520]

@reznor07 love that his name is karl sanders hahahahha

[67675656565655656565]

@reznor07 what part of egypt are they from

[MutenRoscher]

@reznor07 and probably never been there .. pretty baller D_D

[Neuroneos]

@reznor07 I thought South Carolina was in Egypt ...

[nemtastic]

@reznor07 Dalas is from Fayetteville NC. woot

[BlueM0nk]

no. karly boys just interested in egyption shit.

[XVictoriousMarchX]

LOL, i first thought that aswell.

[ID226]

@maquadago sure not

[huri112]

@maquadago no

[sdkee]

Best Nile song. Fucking epic.

[crazychicka666]

[KeiththeTank]

UNASSSS, THE SLAYUUURR OF THE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDSSSS­S!
