This is the most atmospheric album Nile did. The drumming got even better on In Their Darkened Shrines. The drumming may well have improved technically in terms of speed on Annihilation of the Wicked, but it wasn't as interesting as on the 2nd or 3rd album.
There are 20 second that i repeat over and over and over, i`m going insane, i`m serious. When 3:20 kicks in until 3:40, and at about half, the deep change of the vocals... goosebumps every time...
This is definitely one of Nile's best songs. It's kind of ironic that for a band so obsessed with speed, its best song is also one of its slowest. The same is true for Children of Bodom too I guess (Everytime I Die).
@siddharthp1983 Nile always included slower doom-inspired songs on all their records. On Those Whom the Gods Detest it was 4th Arra of Dagon. Ithyphallic - The title track, Eat of the Dead and Even the Gods Must Die, In Their Darkened Shrines - Sarcophagus and I Whisper in the Ear of the Dead and Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka - Opening of the Mouth. They have also started including many doom-inspired passages on many of their newer songs including Kafir!
@BathorysGraveland True. I haven't heard 'Those Whom the Gods Detest' or 'Ithyphallic' so I will check out your recommendations. Sarcophagus is a brilliant track, possibly my favorite on that album along with Execration Text.
@Thatmetaldude590 Well, you made this comment a month ago, so you may already know the information or don't care. But those strange chanting vocals on the two verses are actually done by an album guest called Scott Wilson. I don't know if he's in any other bands or anything.
i own any nile record except for bsov and catacombs. even in the beginning... but this song is heavier than user-maat-re and unas together!!! WOAH!!!!
@qaz121212 Ur is a temple in iraq or iran i don't remember well i think was mesopotamia during the Ubaid period is in sumerian, I think this kind of music try to recreate ancient history and that is why i like this so much and the music is awesome soon the sumerians gods will return and will take what is belong to them!!
It would be my pleasure to see these guys live and sacrifice myself inside the pit for them. Even better if someone opened me up to let my bloody guts hang out.
Also, did you know that Karl Sanders had a guest role in "The Final War (Battle of Actium)" by the death metal band Ex Deo? Their themes are based off ancient Roman history.
@Manas10101 Yeah i've listened to their stuff but most of it is pretty generic music, and at the end of the day the themes of the band come second to how good it sounds. Nergal also did a track if i remember correctly.
@Maddlord4 your aunts friends with KARL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dude where the fuck does your aunt live, i want to meet karl so damn bad, he is like my favorite guitarist other than dallas and petri lindroos
Nile is pretty new to me and I really love them!! The music is awesome, but they manage to give it all a very special and mighty atmosphere too which makes it all even more epic!
Is there any other bands like this I should check out?
anyone else think this has to be by far the best solo that karl sanders has ever written? seriously none of the new solos compare in atmosphere to this. fucking love their old material, its a shame very few people know it, probably also due to all the ethnic instruments used, but fuck they do it brilliantly and in such an original way
i don't know about you, but i don't need to smoke weed to imagine the desert when listening to this song. All music that is not mindless shit conjures up images and conveys messages.
nile tą płytą pokazał światu jak można grać death metal trochę inaczej zachowując oczywiście standarty tej muzyki.śluchałem tej muzyki na kolanach.zajebisty album
It wasn't Spires. His vocals were equal to Karl and Dallas. Example, Cheif did the parts on this song "Of ages past when the world was young, when babylon was blessed of Marduk" and "Of bronze gates arrayed in splendour." calodax is right, that was Scott Wilson doing the evil sorcerer vocals.
Desolate an Forsaken Eerily Moaning Dark Winds Murmur Incantations Dusk Calla forth Shadows Spirits of the Glorious Dead Lingering Bound to this Place They Whisper of Untold Sagas of Long Dead Cities the Seven Shining Cities Sacred to the Aphkhallu of Ages past when the World was Young When Babylon was Blessed of Marduk and the Sound of her Armies was the Blare of Omnious War Horns and the Clash of Immortal Cymbals of Bronze Gates Arrayed in Splendour and Magnificent Walls of Sunbaked Brick
you are right about one thing it is an eerie song...but whiney vocals? you must be hearing my chemical romance that is playing in your room little boy. Nile is badass and THEY DONT HAVE WHINEY VOCALS ANYWHERE IN THEIR MUSIC. get your ass to the store and buy some nile albums and wake the fuck up!
yh i meen the vocals tht are abit more black metally at the beging havnt herd tht from nile before there usual low vox like the ones tht come in at the double bass
and ive got 4 nile album Nile are my fave band im going to see them in sept \m/
I Love the eerie sounding guy at the beginning of the song he's awesome! He sounds like a sorcerer or a witch doctor... Kinda reminds me of parts of Unas and "Die Rache Krieg..."
This isn't Egyptian though, because Ur was a city in southern Mesopotamia. Not only does Nile do Egyptian things, they've also incorporated H.P Lovecraft stories, and Mesopotamian sounds/lyrics.
they are all very similar, and the ancient egyptian empire streched very far with great influence as it was the biggest, most advanced empire of its time
Actually, Mesopotamia is a geographical region, not a civilisation. It has seen many different cultures, among which are the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Assyrians and the Babylonians...
It's always difficult comparing different cultures, but I don't think the Mesopotamian culture was less advanced than the Egyptian: it can even be argued the Sumerian culture was more advanced than the Egyptian (higher degree of urbanization, earlier development of intensive agriculture etc.).
the thing is though, the egyptian empire survived for over 6000 years. this is because they excelled in all things especially adaptation. many other empires like sumerian excelled in just a few areas but that was their downfall. even if the mesopotamian culture was more adavanced at their height egypt peaked at many times only to be crushed by the superpower of the Romans(barbarians>:()
6000 years? I always thought the 'traditional' Egyptian culture lasted from around 3000 BC till Cleopatra. And the problem here is: although the Sumerian culture lasted less long in the formal sense, their heritage didn't: the Mesopotamian region has since seen other great civilizations (Babylonians/Assyrians etc), all of whom were very much influenced by the Sumerians. And if you look at Egypt: the Old Kingdom is very different compared to the Middle or New Kingdom.
they have found mummies dating from 5000bc, even though they werent advanced they founded the religion at that time. africa is by far a much bigger place than the average person would think. the "world atlas" is far out of propotion. egypt started as three seperate kingdoms. this became 2 empires which were finally united after many struggles in around 3150bc. allthough not united until 3150 the 2 nations were ruling for many centuries beforehand and were both advanced and powerful.
Obviously your original comment was ignorant, no matter how much pseudo-arguments you throw in, it is two very different cultures of whom you speak so comparing them is extremely difficult and relative to preset terms and interests.
Besides there was no ''Egyptian empire'' there were just different dynasties with kings that ruled a bunch of linked villages (not so much cities or urbanized until very late) that shared a common culture that evolved through time.
Egypt was not actually an empire until quite late, like you said, and it was divided into two Main parts upper and lower, (Memphis being the captial of Lower, and Thebes/Ptolemias being the capital of Upper).
These "kings that ruled abunch of linked villages" had actually invaded and controlled syria and palestine, achieved buildings of unequalled architectural difficulty, and had repelled attack after attack from mostly all of the neighbouring countries.
Actually this is quite true, however I can see where confusion may arise. Using the term Egyptian Empire is assuming a-priori a link between geographical-political-cultural etc. terms based on the same people with the same culture who view themselves as such. The former is not an easy debate (and for example what defines ''Egyptian''?) therefor if you wish to be prudent; there were different dynasties who controlled (vast) empires, but those were not Egyptian but the empire of (insert king).
Well said; in Ancient Egypt the polictics/culture and even mythology changed Drastically with each different pharaoh/dynasty. Its like saying The Victorians were the same as the Tudors (for example) because they lived in the same area.
Mesopotamia was more advanced, if you ask me. Sure, individual cultures were shorter, but the Sumerians, being the first, had major impact on all the following. You rightfully mention urbanization and agriculture. Egyptians waited for the Nile to flood, but the Sumerians dug canals and thus took things into their own hands. Also, cuneiform writing was more widespread than hieroglyphs. Egypt might be fascinating, but Mesopotamia is much more so...
Waiting for the life-giving floods of the Nile was more religious than not being able to build canals.
I think the reason that Egypt is "more" fascinating is that we know so much more about them than the Mesopotamians, and they are more universally known.
Well, yes of course, but the environment in Mesopotamia was a lot harsher, so the people living there needed to work more together to accomplish something. It is this 'working together', particularly the specializing in specific skills, that forms a civilization. And I have a bit of doubt about the knowledge about Egypt being greater than the knowledge about Mesopotamia: yes, it is pretty clear normal people know more about Egypt. But under historians I think the difference is not so big.
haha, the Egyptians relied on a much more efficient and quicker way of accomplishing things.
Generally, concerning hieroglyphs and cuneiform, scribes were the elite of egyptian society and a lot would know other languages as well as their own. With the Egyptians life was very religious. Hieroglyphs were considered art which is why these are only really found on tombs/ monuments. Most scribes of egypt would write in hieratic(from before the 1st dynasty) or Demotic(25th dynasty)
But the egyptians also dug canals allowing the water to go from the nile, through canals, into the farmland alongside of the Nile. So they also had knowledge of irrigation. I also think (but this is my own opinion) that if they dug canals to receive water from the Nile, ands thus not waiting for the Nile to flood, they wont receive the fertile clay (dont know the word for 'slib' in english) the river brought with it
ancient egyptians referred to their land as "Kmt" or "Kemet" meaning "the black lands" not only because of the black fertile soil but because they were black africans (despite how hollywood portrays them)
Black Africans? Are you serious? The Egyptian genepool remained largely continual, the Arabic genetic influx is the largest.
If you want a good representation of the Ancient Egyptian population you can take a look at the Copts, who are the Christian Egyptians that didn't intermarry with the Muslim invaders.

And if you look at Egypt: the Old Kingdom is very different compared to the Middle or New Kingdom.

they have found mummies dating from 5000bc, even though they werent advanced they founded the religion at that time. africa is by far a much bigger place than the average person would think. the "world atlas" is far out of propotion. egypt started as three seperate kingdoms. this became 2 empires which were finally united after many struggles in around 3150bc. allthough not united until 3150 the 2 nations were ruling for many centuries beforehand and were both advanced and powerful.

Obviously your original comment was ignorant, no matter how much pseudo-arguments you throw in, it is two very different cultures of whom you speak so comparing them is extremely difficult and relative to preset terms and interests.
Besides there was no ''Egyptian empire'' there were just different dynasties with kings that ruled a bunch of linked villages (not so much cities or urbanized until very late) that shared a common culture that evolved through time.

Egypt was not actually an empire until quite late, like you said, and it was divided into two Main parts upper and lower, (Memphis being the captial of Lower, and Thebes/Ptolemias being the capital of Upper).
These "kings that ruled abunch of linked villages" had actually invaded and controlled syria and palestine, achieved buildings of unequalled architectural difficulty, and had repelled attack after attack from mostly all of the neighbouring countries.

you talk about pseudo arguments while you claim there was no egyptian empire, your ignorance is impressive

Actually this is quite true, however I can see where confusion may arise. Using the term Egyptian Empire is assuming a-priori a link between geographical-political-cultural etc. terms based on the same people with the same culture who view themselves as such. The former is not an easy debate (and for example what defines ''Egyptian''?) therefor if you wish to be prudent; there were different dynasties who controlled (vast) empires, but those were not Egyptian but the empire of (insert king).

Well said; in Ancient Egypt the polictics/culture and even mythology changed Drastically with each different pharaoh/dynasty. Its like saying The Victorians were the same as the Tudors (for example) because they lived in the same area.

Mesopotamia was more advanced, if you ask me. Sure, individual cultures were shorter, but the Sumerians, being the first, had major impact on all the following. You rightfully mention urbanization and agriculture. Egyptians waited for the Nile to flood, but the Sumerians dug canals and thus took things into their own hands. Also, cuneiform writing was more widespread than hieroglyphs. Egypt might be fascinating, but Mesopotamia is much more so...

Waiting for the life-giving floods of the Nile was more religious than not being able to build canals.
I think the reason that Egypt is "more" fascinating is that we know so much more about them than the Mesopotamians, and they are more universally known.
PharaohJed 2 years ago
Well, yes of course, but the environment in Mesopotamia was a lot harsher, so the people living there needed to work more together to accomplish something. It is this 'working together', particularly the specializing in specific skills, that forms a civilization. And I have a bit of doubt about the knowledge about Egypt being greater than the knowledge about Mesopotamia: yes, it is pretty clear normal people know more about Egypt. But under historians I think the difference is not so big.
KolonelOrtega 2 years ago
haha, the Egyptians relied on a much more efficient and quicker way of accomplishing things.
Generally, concerning hieroglyphs and cuneiform, scribes were the elite of egyptian society and a lot would know other languages as well as their own. With the Egyptians life was very religious. Hieroglyphs were considered art which is why these are only really found on tombs/ monuments. Most scribes of egypt would write in hieratic(from before the 1st dynasty) or Demotic(25th dynasty)

They're different genres, so its harder to compare them. They are equally skilled at their individual genre, but i prefer Nile definately!
PharaohJed 2 years ago
But the egyptians also dug canals allowing the water to go from the nile, through canals, into the farmland alongside of the Nile. So they also had knowledge of irrigation. I also think (but this is my own opinion) that if they dug canals to receive water from the Nile, ands thus not waiting for the Nile to flood, they wont receive the fertile clay (dont know the word for 'slib' in english) the river brought with it

'Silt'
And yes, when it flooded annulally, it brought rich mud/silt which was high in nutrients that the crops needed to grow effectively.
PharaohJed 2 years ago
ancient egyptians referred to their land as "Kmt" or "Kemet" meaning "the black lands" not only because of the black fertile soil but because they were black africans (despite how hollywood portrays them)

@13b1cdw8g
Black Africans? Are you serious? The Egyptian genepool remained largely continual, the Arabic genetic influx is the largest.
If you want a good representation of the Ancient Egyptian population you can take a look at the Copts, who are the Christian Egyptians that didn't intermarry with the Muslim invaders.

@13b1cdw8g The 'black african' history of egypt refers to the nubian culture. Now modern Sudan. They conquered egypt at one point.
