Nile - The Language of the Shadows

one of my all time fav nile pieces number 9 from album Ithyphallic

Abandon hope
And I shall become free
And with freedom acquire emptiness

With the mind cleansed and empty
There is the void known as despair
A gateway upon an emptiness endless and vast

In despair the language of the shadows is intelligible
In madness all sounds become articulate

Terror and despair they guide me
Into nightmares that follow one upon the other
Like windblown grains of sand

I have become as the wastelands
Of unending nothingness
Now shall the night things
Fill me with their whisperings
And the shadows reveal their wisdom

If Nile and Behemoth wrote an album TOGETHER that would be the apocalypse of humanity.... and I would die happy as fuck

[PharaohJed]

@BlasphemyDivine Karl Sanders worked with Behemoth on "Xul" from Demigod. Both Nergal and Karl worked on Ex Deo's album, but yeah, it would be pretty epic if they did!

pedal is fast.the others it isnt all time.

[PharaohJed]

Yes, double bass speed isn't everything.

All the Egyptian gods we've learned about have all reformed into human beings of today otherwise known as the members of Nile.

[TheDisembowelment]

my favorite and maybe the most hellish song of the album...Γιωργο εισαι θεος,κανεις ολους τους Ελληνες περηφανους,ν αγιασουν τα ποδια και τα χερια σου!

[MrFiendster]

I feel sorry for George's snare drum. haha I wonder how many he burns through.

[sodorth]

Nile is one of the best metal bands out there right now, when i first heard them, i was like wtf is this shit ?? but once you understand their music, you cant stop listening to it... right now, i am obsessed with Nile for two years and it doesnt stop...

[somedude140]

i love this band i am gonna to buy all of their albums!

[BlasphemyDivine]

@PharaohJed yea i know they have collaborated a bit together, hell even nergal jumped on stage with nile before and started singing... but i mean a full on album... would be goregasmic
