Nile - The Black Flame

[thewarlord333]

Huh I recognize the back ground music in the Intro, its so familiar from something else.

[UnseenEntityMetal]

@thewarlord333 ...i dunno if they loaned it out but i do know dallas composed it w/ an egyptian dude the work w/ regularly to make sure their acurrate...they call his name in the liner notes but its beem a loooong time since ive had the liner notes...or cd case for that matter

[sp4rtucus]

I love all the Egyptian stuff that nile do, it's so great! The atmosphere is so fuckin evil and mystical at the same time XD TRULY METAL

[DerAnstifter]

EPIC FAIL, the starting sound was taken from a TIBETAN TEMPLE recording... nothing to do with Egypt. Actually, I have the cassette, LOL!

[rozorahk]

@DerAnstifter Nile has songs about mesopotamia and refrences to mythology from elsewhere aswell as songs based on the works by H.P Lovecraft just cause they stick a mummified guy with a snake in his head on the album cover doesn't mean every thing is gonna be about egypt.

[RihardsLacplesis]

@rozorahk Nevertheless, the black flames refers to the Egyptian myth.

[Midnight6405]

Nile has been Blessed my the Egyptian gods them selves, and even more so Possessed by them to continue to rule this world even in in death in metal form they rule through nile

[SerpensIgnipes]

i love the part when he says "chains bind meee...", it sounds so fucking evil

[headbanner666]

i remember well it was yesterday i was at this bus for a feald trip with my friend we were listesing to songs on my his ipod so i heard this and i said this is sick!!! i love nile now

[DTaliPort]

Sounds great, one of my favorites. I'll have to remember to watch the video response after I listen to the song.

[VicariousReality7]

One of their best songs i say

[fablan6]

Only 1 thing is worse than those so called emo kids that "pollute" metal. The metal "crusaders" who want to "clean the world" from them... Get a fucking life idiots. Just listen to the music and shut up.

[BroadwayRonMexico]

@fablan6 Last time a bunch of preppy tendsters infested metal to the extent they do now was back in the 80s when they were called "hair bands". Said hair bands almost completely killed metal as a whole

[juvedoo99]

@BroadwayRonMexico morbid angel was part of the "hair metal" death metal and because of them we have nile and other badass metal bands. just saying.

[HeavyMusicGuy16]

This band has never had a bad song/album haha. By far my favorite band of all tine.

[Styraeos]

This is the soundtrack to my life

[PcCAvioN]

awesome, because i have a diverse taste, i'm supposedly an emo who's trying to act hardcore.

[H2Zman]

Thumbs up if Karl Sanders and Lustmord should make an album together.

[ImtheCauseofDeath]

Thumbs up if this is your favorite song from Black Seeds of Vengeance \m/

[DTaliPort]

@ImtheCauseofDeath it's kind of short though.

[MrScorn]

also I must say, there's a small resemblence between this song, and the Shadow Temple music from Zelda.

[signofsatan]

now i get it. ok, this might be the weed talking, but hear me out. during the heavy blast beats and aggressive riffs the Gods are angry or disturbed. then during the slower tempo changes and ambient effects, the Gods are at rest for they have accepted the offering or act of the subservient. fkn'a.

[XCWDrake]

great song for the gods

[45tyler64]

@PharaohJed ive been told by many music teachers even one that dont like death metal but can agree on this and jazz are some of the only genres that stick true to classical

[JSPAG518]

OMFG from 2:06 on this song gets SICK!!!

[Sythiis]

I'm a serious Death metal fan, my life is dedicated to metal yet...I find it hard to like this more extreme niche end of the spectrum. Can anyone give me some kind tips on how to open my mind further? :(

[CelestialDependency]

@Sythiis "I'm a serious Death metal fan" explain how when this is death metal and you find it hard to like it. What are your favourite death metal bands? Are you confusing death metal for another genre of metal? On how to expand your mind consider death metal songs like a mind puzzle dont try to figure them out straight away cause that will just bog you down. Let them open themselves up to you over a period time. The pieces of the puzzle will show themselves and you will appreciate the design!

[Disnamesucksass]

@CelestialDependency cant be put any better

[M200Shnitzel]

@Sythiis I have been only listening to death metal for 5 years now, and all I can say is let the music flow into you. It's hard to explain, but every time before I go to bed I think of this song.

[TheGunn94]

@Sythiis uhm.... listen to cannibal corpse or skinless or behemoth or something..... and nile

[MoOsHw]

@Sythiis I just took a look at your favourites: Manowar, Blind Guardian, Hammerfall. You seem to be more of a serious Power Metal fan to me dude, but I just cant judge you on those.

[GoatBorn]

@PharaohJed I agree. This and jazz are, in my opinion, the two most difficult styles to play (other than a classical piece, of course).

[GuttedAtBirth]

at :32 dallas just sounds fuckingt crazy awesome!

[GuttedAtBirth]

@cprostudio Try and cover this song. I bet you cant keep up. Try any of thiers songs, I bet you cant even keep up with "Ruins" Death metal (true) death metal take more talent than pretty much everything!

[blacklegionairsoft1]

@cprostudio

HAHA!!! Really? Ooookay then. YOU would know what its like to get bullied I assume.

[45tyler64]

@cprostudio bollocks,junk spunk?wtf kind of mental disorder do you have

[disciple2288]

@PharaohJed how do you figure that Nile is mainstream? Being well known doesn't make you mainstream.

[richnaerz]

@PharaohJed tbh i wouldnt say nile is mainstream anything mainstream would be something thats in the top 40 or something like that

and CC isnt in it just for the money they're in it for the music hence why they've been going so long and if you're intersted in making large amounts of money you dont join a death metal band tbh lol

[666x666Slipknotx]

I know right, CC has been here since like late 80's

[richnaerz]

@666x666Slipknotx yeah and they most definetly do it for the music

[veonix2]

I feel like dying from suffocation for the Duat to crawl like a wingless scarab into the great halls... and BLASHPEMY as an Enemy to Osiris!!!

[disciple2288]

It doesnt really matter if emo's listen to real death metal bands...its not like you are gonna see them at the shows or anything (if they know whats good for them).

[Ninjistic]

What, you'd actually beat up an emo kid if he showed up at a death metal show? Its too bad that death metal fans are malicious assholes.

[disciple2288]

@Ninjistic No, I don't personally care that much. But I know the nature of real death shows, and emo kids will stand out and be targeted because the true death fans don't generally take too kindly to the lil' suburban tweens that have bastardized their scene.

[Ninjistic]

What is a "true" death fan? Why can't somebody like both death metal and emo? An emo can be just as much into death metal as some elitist who doesn't listen to anything else.

[disciple2288]

@Ninjistic Like I said, I don't really care. I am not the elitist death metal fan you speak of. But they do exist and I can sorta see their point about not wanting their traditions to be exploited to kids for market value. However thats not really me so you're preaching to the wrong person.

[666x666Slipknotx]

Im not emo or nothing but i like all kinds of metal and im a slipknot fan, people take music so seriously nowadays..... just because im a slipknot fan means i can't like anything else well no one made a rule for metal

[sixfootcorpse]

There is a difference between mainstream in the underground metal scene, and metal in "reality," i.e. - metallica, ac/dc...Nile are pretty god damn popular in the underground scene for example with acts such as BEHEMOTH, Cannibal Corpse, In Flames ect. But when compared to Metallica...No they are not mainstream. It's almost common sense. But we all know who the better band is. FUCKING NILE.

[GrindThizzleFu]

@sixfootcorpse So true, I mean thank the stars I can go to sleep knowing that Nile would never do a song with Ja Rule.

[beer4life101]

Who is this scum you speak of?

[GrindThizzleFu]

Well the only thing I could say is be thankful you don't know.

[MINIWHEAT70]

@sixfootcorpse, maybe someone should poison Lar Ulrich, Metallica will need a drummer to fill in for him...

Get George Kollias to fill in for him, record the performance...

People will be asking whos playing drums, people will tell em thats Kollias from Nile, they'll search up Nile, like it, recommend it to their friends, and Nile will be even MORE popular...

Almost seems like a dumb idea...

But think about it...

And Nile are very popular, it would just be a treat to see them MORE popular.

[LordDraxxos09]

i guess you'd say Alcohollica is metal, but Nile is DEATH METAL

[Metalhead4569]

Well put.

[MetalFan141]

YES! Fucking Nile

[extrememetal100]

@sixfootcorpse

Actually Cannibal Corpse is my favorite,for some reasons but i love Nile since i'm here

[strahinje]

@sixfootcorpse fucking yeah man

[TacoLuke]

@Kelter911 Nile isn't very mainstream, and even if they are they are keeping true death metal alive versus hardcore bands that really are mainstream. Nile is just...well known, i wouldn't even say popular cause most people think there stuff is way too over the top.

[EmptyGraves420]

Ive seen them live and when they did this song it blew my mind

[CreatorOfChaosxx]

Nile isn't Mainstream at all. Just because they are popular doesn't make them Mainstream.

[Pandem9]

love the brutal ass vocals

[TheID3000]

Nile is so cool...i like them especially bicause they(SOMETIMES) use Egyptian(cant spell) language....

[MrScorn]

Typical emo kid into bad music and likes one or a few death metal bands to make up for his failure and try and make him look hard core.

We got thousands too many of your kind fucker.

[xSkraelingx]

I doubt these type of kids actually like the death metal bands they mention, they just name drop a few of them in the hope that the person they're trying to impress hasn't heard of them and will later look them up and then think that the kid is into metal...

One time a girl (with typical scene hair btw) said that she loved Cannibal Corpse. I asked her what her favorite songs were and she couldn't name a SINGLE ONE! I was thinking "wtf poseur bitch!?"

even worse, they go to the shows too!

[oxside]

one emo said they liked immortal and i said name your fave album.

and he couldnt name one!

so i tied rope round his neck then tied it to my car and went for a 2 hour drive

[Godsmack9494]

WIN!

[Kelter911]

I cant stand people like that!!!!

they infest my city

its terrible

only i and a few other listen to good Oldschool Metal

but its sad because the posers only know CC and nile because the achieved Somewhat Commercial success

[progemetalheadbanger]

@Kelter911 What I think is sad is this prejudiced and closed view of the world.. Why are you a better person compared to those (us) who listen to lots of differend kinds of (or just different..) music? I like good old-school(ish) stuff, when it really is good, but I also like music with a newer sound if it's well made. Same goes with jazz and rock and everything. The age or genre of the music does not matter, it's the quality that counts.

ps. Nile, Origin, Death etc. really is kick-ass stuff.

[latinodude85]

@Kelter911

You're right on everything that you just said there, except about Emperor, which are solely Black Metal.

[demoniclord91367]

@MrScorn Join me and together we can get rid of the emo scum polluting Metal, there are too many scene kids calling their shitty deathcore music metal and we must stop them from ruining Metal and preserve only the traditional ways of Metal not that core crap. Death to emos death to scene kids let them all perish only True metal reigns supreme.

[MrScorn]

@demoniclord91367 Indeed, I can't remember who I replied that to, but hopefully they saw it.

[YTisMyPlaylist]

@demoniclord91367 What are you gonna do? Spam emo kids on youtube? Kill them?

Nah, make a band, make originial metal music, thats how you will keep the metal flame alive.

[6Iron6Whore6]

@MrScorn Damn right

[Trollscience1]

@MrScorn Best comment ever.

[hotpotato64]

the fuck?

[BadJoker72]

my favorite album with the darkened Shrines album!

[15Iodas93]

Sick intro!

[19deadman76]

The true definition of an epic album...I love the wolf howls the guitars make at the end of the song....

[COBHC279]

Derek Roddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DEFINEMETAL]

1:33 fucking scared me,

i turned it up because i could hardly hear it

then that shit blasted out at me

[Nattskog]

Just went to Wikipedia...and the featured article was ANCIENT EGYPT!

[DEFINEMETAL]

o.O

[poopsinhispans]

irony huh

[EpicB0]

1:33 is damn random.

[crassisdead]

No, it's awesome.

[EpicB0]

Ofc it is. I just mean the first time you listen to this you have no idea that at 1:33 it will go from slow to crazy in no time. Theres no transition from slow to fast like in most songs.

[crassisdead]

Yeah man I know. I was just joking.

[XVictoriousMarchX]

Fuck yes it's awsome!

\m/

[shlempnar]

roddy always pulls out the best sounding snares

[Plasmapyro17]

This video reminds me of mushrooms looking at surf boards while looking at key chain necklaces

[RPExecutor]

i love this album for Derek Roddy being on it. man, i wish he stayed... he fits like a fucking glove.

but then, he is a studio drummer, so i guess he does what he has to do...

[winterSTU]

Nah I think George is much better with Nile :)

I miss Derek in Hate Eternal though - I monarch pwned.

[Saugori]

kolias suited nile better roddy suits a more normal death metal band because he usually only plays blasts and fillls and those drummers can get boring

[CannabisMix]

This intro is so deep and epic flying through my fucking soul, i listen the intro 10 times repeating. Does anybody feels the same?!

His vocals are so fucking 100% metal spirit.

Nobody could go more epic like Karl, in my opinion. (although he is a cool and funny guy!)

[RejectYourMorals]

I totally agree with you. \m/(^_^)\m/

[riffeishonman]

he has the best voice ever.

[xMasterSgtKimx]

@CannabisMix Dallas is pretty good too.

[RyanLVMetal88]

My fav Nile album. The guitars and recording sound more natural than the sucked out mids of the more recent albums. Not to say that those albums dont totally fucking kick ass.

[carnivaldiablos]

Open the gates for the naaanaaaa!

[ninjapriestbrown]

herd this live monday at wolvo, fukin imense!!! it was so tight, exatcly like the record, karl, george and dallas are gods! there new bassist is pretty sick too

[Grimreaperguitarist]

i used to have band named the black flame

[Rothkeen]

One of my fav... Because it was the first song I heard with Nile :D

[ninjapriestbrown]

FUCKIN' MENTAL! i love this song

[kilogram19]

Yes!

[joelistenstometal]

this is a very hard song to play, first its very slow, then all of a sudden a really fast techincal rifs comes in,

thank you Karl and Dallas now my fingers hurt :P

[DeathMetalFan310]

so metal........ so fucking incredible,

[poopsinhispans]

thnx
