Nile - Laying Fire Upon Apep

[slatersnakes]

THIS IS MY CHRISTMAS SONG

IM THE DAUTHER OF RA

[neazification]

\m/



[sixfootcorpse]

BOW! Thou Fiend!

Yeah Nile have had numerous bassists. At first their tone is different, difficult to hear the bass, especially on their newer material. Chief Spires, Jon Vesano, Chris Lollis is the current bassist, believe there were a couple others, but Dallas recorded bass on Ithyphalllic and maybe another.

[givemeajackson]

0:15 raw bacon makes you burn xD since i read that comment on the kollias vid i always understand raw bacon makes you burn :I

[MrSatanochio]

2:15-2:30 always makes me piss my pants. It`s not so bad when i`m indoors, cause most of the time i listen to this on the street.

[patrick22014]

Is the first time I hear Nile and they are far beyond awesomeness!!

[DarkThoot]

@TheMattTrivium Nile's bassplayer use pick with a really bass/middle tone.You must take in consideration that he mostly use 4 string bass in A tuning,so it's really hard to hear a clear sound.Others aspect are that Kollias push like a crazy on double bass drum and Karl and Dallas use a lot of bass tone on ther guitar:

However in this kind of songs the bass give its heaviness,If u listen this genre without the bass track U will feel like swimming naked.

[eddief60]

@DarkThoot swimming naked feels good

[DarkThoot]

@eddief60 ahhaha fuck yeah ahahaha

[brodeur03]

@eddief60

LMAO you just made my f**king day! LOLZ

[eddief60]

@brodeur03 fuck brodouchebag im a ranger fan...but yes thank you

[marauder622]

@TheMattTrivium if you listen to sacrifice unto sebek when he goes tua ahemu listen in between those words and you can hear bass riffs.

[PharaohJed]

@TheMattTrivium Yeah, but most of Nile's albums the bass is fairly subtle. If you listen it's definately there though!

[TheMetalscholar]

@PharaohJed that's how it is for most bands actually, they've been trying to make it so that basses play loader so you can hear then, but then they just get the guitars loader too with similar technology, so i find that interesting...

[dreamer4e]

Why do you relate religion with music?Artists just express themselves in different way-

you either like it or not (: .And we likey!

[hellfencer]

@dreamer4e I can see why THIS music (I.E. Nile) might have discussions of religion in it. Everything they sing about is dealing with the Egyptian mythology, that was once used as a religion and way of life. I can see very well how religion gets brought up, but why it always ends up a talk of christianity? Well, that's probably cause America is full of it and I would guess the majority of youtubers are Americans. Just sayin'

[Sonik731]

Ith-y-phal-lic - adj: Having the penis erect...

Says it right on the cover. This shit is boner inducing...

[CursedToExist]

George's part at 2:03 is just so unique, even considering Nile's usual style. I love it.

[BEZCORE]

APEP is an EGYPTIAN SNAKE gOD-DEMON. The soft drink PEPSI was named and derived from.., APEP and is but a splinter of the Grand Conspiracy. O_o

[somedude140]

nile is the death metal band!

[Zofti]

Atheists bashing Christians are no way better then Muslims bashing any other religion.

[Afterburnzz]

Aand, finally, this goes for all of you, religious, anti-religious or whatever you are - keep the useless debates about religion away from here - you're not going to persuade us, we're not going to persuade you, they're not going to persuade either of us, so how about we just fuck off somewhere else or shut up and enjoy the music already?

[sk8r1982]

@Afterburnzz Agreed. I am a Christian as well, yet I love to listen to death metal. I hate how most metalheads assume that we Christians are ignorant pricks who do nothing but criticize others.

[MrPureDeathMetal]

@sk8r1982 STFU this music is satanic go listen to something else its really satanic the devil will come in you LEAVE AS FAST AS YOU CAN NOW ! TROLL TROLL

FUCK CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIANITY

[sk8r1982]

@MrPureDeathMetal I'm a troll? Why don't you go back to school so you can learn some comprehension skills. First of all, I do not think that Nile is Satanic. They just have Satanic themes within their lyrics in some songs. Most of their songs deal with ancient Egypt and philosophy. You don't even know what Christianity is about. I can tell from your comment that you wouldn't even attempt to understand it, instead you disregard the idea as a whole.

[Afterburnzz]

Oh, for Christ's sake - Yes, I'm a Christian, bash all you want. Some of you people have a very twisted view of Christianity. Most modern Christians aren't exactly the "PRAISE JESUS OR DIE" folks armed with battering rams aiming at your doorsteps. Some of your views are COMPLETELY wrong. Hell? As far as I've heard, hell is not being boiled in the fiery depths of the Earth while the horned devil waves his trident around, but rather being separated from God, however you picture it.

[00100IRONEARTH]

@TheMattTrivium just because you say that the religion is corrupted does not mean that the people that believe are corrupted themselves, also the people who chose to believe are the ones who make up the religion itself so you cannot say the religion is corrupt without casting a presumption that all of the people associated with that religion are then corrupt too, which would make around a third of the world corrupt

[gustaf2adolf]

Saw them at Metal town in Gothemburg. One of the best bands there. Didn´t know about them before but couldn´t resist starting listening to them after that :D

[00100IRONEARTH]

why does everyone bash christians? I am christian and i love death metal and black metal.

[thrashmetalz666]

0:49 one of the tastiest riffs ive ever encountered

[Gurra88]

Wasn't Apep a snake in the Egyptian mythology? I looked in some book about Egypt, and Apep was mentioned in some context.

[182cjr]

so how many albums does Kolias have with Nile besides annihilation of the wicked? i thought that was the only one!?

[Gurra88]

@182cjr

Two besides AOTW. Ithyphallic and For whom the gods detest.

[VonHendrixTV]

ok.......which one should i get, annihilation of the wicked, or ithyphallic?

[crzymarlo]

@VonHendrixTV I've never had music put me in a state of total relaxation as to where i feel like im going to go into a coma, yet gives me so much energy I feel like i'm going to have a heart attack.It's beautiful, creative, methodical brutality.

And to answer your question vonhendrix, get annihilation. Ithyphallic is amazing but annihilation of the wicked is better.Check out In their darkened shrines and amongst the catacombs of nephren ka too. It's ear sex

[Guitarscreech06]

@crzymarlo

Amongst the Catacombs... WOULD be ear sex if it weren't for the murky and low production on it. Imagine that album with the production skills used at TWTGD... I would come buckets, lol

[thyPotato]

@VonHendrixTV annihilation is my fav

[GEARSOFAJ]

@VonHendrixTV flip a coin

[HisNameInVain]

Religion is a story, enjoy, for that is all it is, ...enjoy the fucking great music! |,,/,

[gwhendri1]

LOL apep you are such a fucking loser.... the moon goddess used your ass

[Scytac]

Well you know Apep is just going to reborn again.

[AncientBarbaricEvil]

Nile have just gotten more "F" in Brutal since Amongst the Catacombs...666

[TheDrummer454]

Ahhhhhhhhhh... 2:19

[MrSatanochio]

dude, awesome ...

[VenusMyrtea]

is it true it took 2 week for Sanders to learn this song?

[lucci97]

i like george but there is just something wierd about this that makes me not like it lol, idk what the fuck it is

[PrivateSnowballTFC]

I blast this when I play Resident Evil 5 and I'm fighting that boss in the lab where you gotta use the flamethrower. Fits the mood...

"BUUUUUUUURN THOU FIIIEND!!!"

[crassisdead]

Resident Evil 5 and Nile fucking rule!

[Wilkins777]

My only minus to this track is at 2:50, the "slam" or whatever you'd call it isn't as intense on the album as it is live on the "drum cam" of this song. You get what I mean? The double kick and the "slam" sounds more intense live than the album version.

Love this song btw

[PharaohJed]

That just shows you how amazing Nile is live!!

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@Wilkins777

That just shows that Nile is even more awesome live than in studio.

And thats the best talent which a band could have.

[caaldespotter]

@Wilkins777 you mean 2:05?

[Metaldude1945]

@Wilkins777 Nile is insane live!

[moneyxxxformula]

RAAA PIERCED THY HEAD !!!!!!!

[NocturnalKiller]

I wanna try drugs that Kollias is using :D

[EliTheGoth777]

@DiegoDLT - Man do you honestly think he sucks? you are fucked, im a drummer of 15 years and since iv played iv learnd and heard things that amaze me but this drummer has no match against anyone else in the metal buissnes he has to be one of the seickest drumemrs out ther. do u no how much time effort n energy u need to play the kit man? its pretty fucking hard so fuck off stop crittisizing one of the most talented drummers out ther and what is a "Good Drummer" in your eyes?? dont say F.O.B -.-

[DiegoDLT]

great song, epic lyrics-fall down apep-kickass drummer sucks

[NogiLurtik]

lol did this guy just say George Kollias sucks? LOL

[Lunaticracy]

If you really meant that George Kollias sucks, you should stop taking drugs immediately.

[DiegoDLT]

no i said the user kickassdrummer sucks

[PriestFreak2008]

BURN!!!!!! THOU FIEND!!!!!!!!! Nile is just all around completely fucking amazing. Hail Nile.

[TheKickassdrummer]

No chance of that PharohJethro...I'm not gay!!!! sorry to dissapoint...

[SeedOfCannibalism]

You need to stop giving faggot deathcore bands handjobs and listen to some real metal.

[TheKickassdrummer]

@SeedOfAnIDIOT...I don't listen to metal. I'm not in Jr.High scool anymore. Secondly, as far as giving handjobs goes, I don't know what you mean. I'm not gay, but for you to bring it up I'll assume that you must be. Have you told your mommy and daddy yet?

[SeedOfCannibalism]

Haha I like your immature attempt at pissing me off with the "SeedOfAnIdiot". If you don't listen to metal then why the fuck are you watching this? You really have no right to become angry either because you're basically requesting someone to argue with you by leaving a comment like that. You're probably some lonley ass hole that plays their drums all day because they don't have any friends.

[Brian77TX]

Well, you know he's lonely because anybody with an ego that big to call himself "TheKickassdrummer" cant have that many friends. Your right though, he has no right to complain about the backlash he receives for his comments on a video of music he doesnt listen to...JUST because he's no longer in Jr. high, lol...

[hellfencer]

@SeedOfCannibalism who or what are you talking about?

[j3wboy1000]

@SeedOfCannibalism you couldn't possibly be talking about nile?

[gessu1]

Weird lyrics but awesome song

[monkeychunkey]

Yes I believe I was "Reincarnated" at one point. I don't know who i was Reborn from.

[mancho747heavy]

a monkey? or maybe chunkey?

[monkeychunkey]

haha sure.

[LavaMountainKat]

Elvis

[renshammar]

BUUURRRN!!!!!

[howrey6969]

To bad they didn't record this album the same way the last one got treated. This one sounded paper thin, no balls what so ever.... : I

[monkeychunkey]

is it weird that i am buddhist but i listen to nile? i hope not because nile is one of my favs.

[SpiderMascara1]

no.

[blacklegionairsoft1]

@monkeychunkey

Not at all! Hell, Im Jewish and I dont know what I would do if Nile didnt exist. Nile's just for fun anyway. Im not really gonna try and ressurect a mummy with the salts of his boiled corpse. (that would be badass though.)

[panterafan1000100]

@monkeychunkey i don't think your religion matters just as long as you like the music!

[Zofti]

@monkeychunkey No. Some metal bands just hate religion. These guys have an OPINION.

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

@monkeychunkey that makes it soooo much more metal, cause those buddhist monk dudes are pretty fuckin hardcore man

[necrocannibal]

@monkeychunkey

I hope not I am a Buddhist as well and love Nile.

[NRRRDLemur14]

@monkeychunkey I am several religions and I listen to Nile. Only, I'm sort of edgy when their lyrics disgrace Set and Apep. I know that gods like Set, Apep, Anubis, etc, weren't particularly hallowed openly, if hallowed at all, but. Goddamnit, they're my gods. Ra is pretty cool, too, though. So is Horus, Thoth, all them broscouts.

[Slayer0200]

HE CUTTETH THROUGH THY FACE

[beer4life101]

ARRRRRR

BEST BIT 02:36 - 02:50

THE GUITARS SOUND FUCKING SICK AND KARLS VOCALS SOUND LIKE THE DEVILS SHIT \m/ \m/

[Giganotabehemoth87]

it just sounds like your soaring over a desert laying fire upon apep FUCK YEAH!!

[Giganotabehemoth87]

for the two or so years this album has been out this has become my favourite track on ithyphalic

[xaviermockingbird]

Anyone know what Apep did to get so god pwned ?

[GLAGABADAMAFAGAKACHL]

in egyptian mythology Apep battled Ra every night when the sun went down and an eclipse was when they thought Apep swallowed Ra.. something along those lines

[GillesGerais]

well met, i respect your perspective, but i have my own

[jesterheadflame666]

Christianity is really the bastard child of European mythology and beliefs (e.g. Hel/hell, Yule, Easter, to name a few things they 'borrowed') and Jewish beliefs. The religion itself is not all that bad, but the church is full of bastards, and always has been. No one can deny that.

[GillesGerais]

a good thing to say, i myslef respect respectful christians not the christian basterds, i just dont beilive theres a god, so why not indulge in satanic shit or egyptian mythology? and musics that present those thems, its no different than watching the exorcist or some horror movie with satan in it is it? or going to see the mummy with brendan frasier? or whatever lol

[jesterheadflame666]

Yes, but it's only interesting if it's done in a creative and clever way. All the boring predictable satanic black metal bands do not interest me at all, neither does the mummy, which features one of the world's worst actors.

[Maddlord4]

@jesterheadflame666 im christian and i can agree with you there

[jesterheadflame666]

@Maddlord4 I find unimaginative biblebashing Christian metal equally tedious - like with life in general, if people properly think about these thinks and give it depth then it is interesting and worth listening to...though admittedly I cannot really think of any Christian-themed music I listen to...David Tibet/Current 93 interest me, but I have not really heard them.

[Maddlord4]

@jesterheadflame666 i was talking about the church being full of bastards

[jesterheadflame666]

@Maddlord4 well duh...being a Christian does not have to mean supporting a church - think for yourself, don't let some corrupt, hypocritical organization manipulate you. There are/were plenty of individual Christian thinkers I really admire, like William Blake - a devout Christian, very unlike me, but pretty much everything he said I agree with

[maggotfrom1993]

@jesterheadflame666 dude you should write a book. an also because i see you have good taste un music ( in flames)

[JesusPassTheBong777]

@jesterheadflame666 yep. bunch of bastards. lol i dont go to church. only fools go to church because they think theyre following god. bullshit. people are idiots. NILE!!!!

[SaucePhilosophy]

@jesterheadflame666 A religion that teaches that you deserve to be tortured and burned forever just simply for not believing in it regardless of how much of a good caring person you are is not a decent religion. Christianity is immoral right down to the core of it at Jesus and original sin.

[cthulhu11111111]

@jesterheadflame666

its because it's priests are human. All religions with human priests fail

[666CthulhuIsMyBitch]

@jesterheadflame666 Yeah, I honestly don't mind christianity that much (Islam is a bigger threat), but almost every conservative christian I know who takes it seriously is a total douchebag.

[guitarman3190]

@666CthulhuIsMyBitch islam is no bigger a threat then a conserivitive christian....

[MoOsHw]

@jesterheadflame666 Agreed, Im Christian and I cant stand the church!

[SROCeallaigh]

@jesterheadflame666 yeah...I'm not as heavily anti-christian as I used to be, I'd rather live in a society that includes religion than a nihilistic, capitalist and technocratic one...and yes, some priest do seem like genuinely decent people who want to help others and contribute to their communities, rather than simply pursuing their warped world view based on helping (or forcing) others to 'find Jesus'

[hellfencer]

@SROCeallaigh If ONLY we lived in a Nihilistic environment! Currently America is poisoned by the christians. There is no where you can turn in our government where the separation of church and state is apparent. We have the word "god" on our damned money for crying out loud! Children are punished for not pledging allegiance to our country (and carefully placed "under god"). I hate what our country has become but there's too many christian fascists around for anything to get changed :(

[SROCeallaigh]

@hellfencer well, I do pity you...though Christianity is more or less powerless over here in good old Albion, political correctness and kissing the arses of Muslims has taken over in this country instead...but the US in particular seems incredibly backward where religion is concerned...we're not in the stone age anymore...maybe they should pay more attention to monumental stages in human history like the renaissance and the enlightenment, get a little bit closer to true 'salvation'...

[undeadbeast666]

Every Night The Serpent Apep And Ra Must Do Battle Only To Have Apep Come Back To Life In His Underworld And Attack The Next Day -Epic Song Topic

[Thetruthinall]

Curious, is this an allegory for the day and night? much of which people believed inspired old Christianity (which it maybe did) but modern Christianity is just its own monster haha :)

Nile, Morbid Angel, Behemoth, Absu, Waitain, all sing about the ancient ones in one form or another, any other bands that you are aware of? id love to hear some other bands up this alley.

Keep the black flame alive my brother!

aVe

[jesterheadflame666]

There is chthonic - they lean more towards black metal, but are also arguably death metal, with symphonic elements. From Taiwan - about Taiwanese history and folklore, with the Hena, the oriental 2 string violin.

[Thetruthinall]

The intellectuals who honestly debate religion are not here... from Jeds opinion i can gather people are being childish and just find religion such an easy lie to explode... Funny how religion is as real as air but yet our governments stick it to us every second... Why don't we care about something with substance besides a dream some ancient brotherhood drew up.

I gather most people have no clue about who really runs the show, religion aint it!

[Thundermaned]

No it is I!

[1q2w3e2w3e4r]

hmm from reading what you wrote, youre right, the intellectuals arent here

[SaintSanguine]

i always liked apep..... the only nile song i cant agree with lol

[superspammer69]

ancient egypt is really interesting

[SouljaBoyMadeRapCrap]

That wasn't really directed towards you, but yeah, you're right. I don't know why I posted it here, lol. I was tired. I fail. XD

[SouljaBoyMadeRapCrap]

What's up with all these comments about Christianity? Since when does Nile have Christian messages in their lyrics? And I also don't understand why everyone here hates Christians.....2% of Christians are actually normal people, lol.

[PharaohJed]

I hath nonne idea.

[terror2thecore]

it's called epic

[philoveritas]

Nile oh Nile! You do amazing things such as this..

[steakNeggs44]

I wonder what death tastes like....

[arghydoodles]

omg you actual emo

[steakNeggs44]

Oops. I must have been high when I wrote that.

[arghydoodles]

lolage I did find it amusing though

[Airline28]

man dude,Nile is fucking crazy man! the way they play guitar FUCKING FAST and growl at the same time is fucking FANTASTIC!!!

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Fiery ithyphallic death metal. Hail Nile.

[antirapmissle]

gotta be the best song off ithyphallic. its just so fucking metal!

[TheBirdsGoTweet]

Man these guys fucking rock. Their lyrics are just so awesome

[trueoriginals]

fuckin rock on man!!!

[InsanityInManyForms]
