this is true death metal. I play this loud in my car when I pull up to someone playing rap music lol. They look over all pissed and drive off really fast I love it!
@skitzoification Try seeing this guys in concert shit you not your mind will be blown out the water. The intensity level is beyound any concert ive ever been to. Nile owns death metal.
@zeropluszeroiszero I wanted to see them when they did a U.S tour for Those who the gods detest, but I never got to make it. I'm pretty sure they kick ass live, It's the live experience that counts for me.
@DARKxRIFTmusic the two sound different actually. i think nile is closer to traditional death metal. necrophagist is a bit more guitar driven and a little bit more complex in song structure. nile has more emotion going on though that's why i prefer their sound
@rohanpogi Totally, I really like Necrophagist a lot, cause of their insane sweeps on them 8 strings, Nile kicks ass in making deep vivid music and powerful machinegun drummin, both fuck shit up on stage in my opinion, great bands
NILE TAKES MY MIND TO OBSCURE AND TERRIBLE PLACES ..... THAT ARE NOT SO FAR AWAY FROM WE ARE NOW ..... ITS JUST THAT NOT EVERYONE IS READY TO PERCIEVE THEM . HAIL NILE FOREVER !!!!!
i would like to listen to this band but how can i understand the lyrics he is saying without reading?? I suppose i should just listen it until i hear them right or is there a better way?? please tell me, cause when i listen them on my mp3 i can't bring lyrics with me
@plasticnasarma You could buy a large, black dildo to use as something to suck on to remind you of a penis. That should make you happy, you cock sucker mother fucker.
@plasticnasarma with gutteral vocals, i feel that the best way to hear the lyrics is to listen to a wider vairity of death metal, so u get a feel for the vocals, or if all else fails u could look them up and memorise them
@plasticnasarma Meh, don't listen to that weird beeeefcurtains, what a weird ass dude. Personally, the best method for me is to read the lyrics and memorise. Then everything becomes crystal clear. (:
@KryoWarrior yeah i love Karl Sanders for that exactly hes so intellectual, and he turns all that knowledge and imagination into the best music i've ever heard!
@metalhead9838772 Been there done that, 9 hour car trip, listening to every single Nile album, over and over.....couldn't hear jack shit for the next few days hahaha
@TheMattTrivium haha yes no problem at all i just wanted to apologize for sounding like a prick i had red over my comments and sounded pretty arrogant (like"like the little snotty nosed 14 year old i am" as some people would put it)
@TheMattTrivium yes but im not pionting any fingers at anybody saying there selfconscious about the music they listen to if there self conscious about it then like you said hide it and no you can not make an ignorant people like or even not think that metal is just utter but as for me i think its the best music ever
and also im sorry if i came of arrogant sounding like a prick i did not mean to
very true people have no right judging you on what music you listen to nor do you have to be a metalhead to listen to it,in fact i get classified as a ''hick'' or''redneck'' but i listen to deathcore and deathmetal
go this album a while back, it's so worth the money I never heard the album ahead of time, and it blew me away I like all their stuff but this was pretty awesome...Nile is coming to Vancouver , but I probably won't be able to see them:(...but I will see them live...I hear they explode brains all over the fucking place with their awesome live shows
@We2OwnAll This is who is going to terror you for the rest of your life if you will be found guilty of listening to pop, rock, or even non-exreme metal.
@VonHendrixTV lol I hope that doesn't include early carcass, Napalm Death and Cattle Decapitation all of which are grindcore style death metal bands, and are awesome....hopefully you are referring to metalcore and deathcore
@Spect8er1 i never said his drumming wasnt necessary, i mean the style of drumming just non stop blasting, it ould compliment the guitar much better if it was more simple and groovy.
know yours kid. if you really had any music intelligence you would know last beats almost the whole song sounds like shit. know my place, dont make me laugh
@damonfortune2 Love the music or hate it, whatever. But don't go saying you could make it better unless you got the artistic balls to back it up. Musical "intelligence" has shit all to do with it. In case Kollias vs Damonfortune, you got fuck nothin'. Or do you intend to cover the song, and better? If so, good luck. If not, I say again, know your place.
@RX120D very well put my fellow metalhead this music takes tremendoes skill even for more than just sped,it takes skill to play this fast an CLEANLY AND TIGHT,now with that being said im not bashing say...jazz players that takes skill too but as far as not understanding if thats the case LOOK UP THE LYRICS,they may think were nuts for listening to this but if you think in one hand and spit in the other witch one fills up quicker?let them keep thinking we all love metal and it does not suck
@RX120D if someone should think this is easy to play, they're welcome to play it in the same tempo, all instruments included. then see if the song would sound remotely the same.
@RX120D only 12 idiots have clicked disliked. the stupids were not invited here anyway. i rather have retarded people like them lurk somewhere else and stay the fuck off death metal videos.
haters can talk all the shit but death metal is really hard to create. only the smart people can tell that nile is composed of superior intellectual musicians.
@death66663 my mom tried to convince me that metal vocalists have no talent.... she listens to contemporary christian, where the ONLY talented 1s are the singers. most of the time
Love the instruments, but not sure on the vocals myself :S
No contrast in them, and the timing is well... non-euclidean :P
The outro vocal were ok however, I just think something a little lighter for some of the earlier bits would be a better compliment, as it makes the heavy heavier. As it is, you get accustomed too quickly, and the line length is a little off.
I guess considering the subject matter it works I guess tho :/
Its hard to believe that some individuals would think this band sucks. That is a narrow minded approach to this music. I consider this music genius. Just imagine being on stage having to play this song from memory. I consider that an amazing feat of musicianship and technicality that only this band can accomplish. This band has a one of a kind sound that is like no other!!!
wooohoooooooooooooooooooo man all u shitheads trying to bash metalheads.. i dont consider myself a metalhead i just like the music, good shit high vibrations.. u know.. but ya all u shitheads bashing this shit.. when i actually listen i dont see it as a negative thing rather as a positive force.. it just feels so.. natural and to me.. thats all i gota say PCE OUT BASHERS :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
this song is one of my eternal favorites because of the epic pumping riffs in the last two minutes (from 2:45 on). I play it while driving to work -with or without collegues.
This is truly one of my favorite Nile songs , along with Execration Text , Sacrifice Unto Sebek , and Smashing The Antiu . This one I love because of the great lyrics , and of course , Nile´s excelent music . \m/
@bcrich6 ya there's quite a few about Lovecraft's work i think Metallica has 3-4 songs with references but i think this is the only one I have heard with a direct reference to Azathoth
@ProjectMaelstrom he didnt leave. haha he is still part of the band for sure...why would he leave to begin with? especially after Those Whom The Gods Detest
@Joeskateapool dont know.... in gr we hear a thing or two that he left..... or "Thinking to leave...." answering the second part of your comm..... dont know many members from many bands have left after a great album :P thnks gods that this thing didnt happen with nile :P
If you guys get a chance, please check out my vocal cover of this song. My buddy thinks it sounds almost exactly like the original but I'd love to get some other opinions... Thanks everyone.
Its funny how pretty much all the lyrics in this song, What can be safely written, eat of the dead, essential salts, language of the shadows, and others are excerpts from the Necronomicon writtem by Donald Tyson. Check it out fucking sweet read if your into the whole Cthulhu mythos ; ) RESPECT TO ALL WHO LOVE THIS BAND!
As much as I enjoy Nile's work, I have to say this album was not their best. It was the most creative, but it lacked good, memorable melodies, instead using a lot of minor chords and too much palm muting. The Annihilation record was much better than this, and their newest album is even better
Azathoth, the blind idiot god, plays his flute, creating and destroying indiscriminately at the center of the universe. Yog-sothoth is the key and the gate.
His snare has power in it, they describe it in the album cover basically. It's like the lash of a whip haha Nile's a bunch of hardcorefuckingbrootalassmotherfuckers :P
is this meant to be good or something?

If you guys get a chance, please check out my vocal cover of this song. My buddy thinks it sounds almost exactly like the original but I'd love to get some other opinions... Thanks everyone.

Its funny how pretty much all the lyrics in this song, What can be safely written, eat of the dead, essential salts, language of the shadows, and others are excerpts from the Necronomicon writtem by Donald Tyson. Check it out fucking sweet read if your into the whole Cthulhu mythos ; ) RESPECT TO ALL WHO LOVE THIS BAND!

As much as I enjoy Nile's work, I have to say this album was not their best. It was the most creative, but it lacked good, memorable melodies, instead using a lot of minor chords and too much palm muting. The Annihilation record was much better than this, and their newest album is even better
