To all the people who say this album is shit, you really should just fuck off. Just because you think it’s shit doesn’t mean that it really is shit, that’s just your opinion.

Agreed. Darkened Shrines is a great album, but Annihilation of the Wicked is their most technical, and best-written. And I also agree with the review in the fact that Ithyphallic was disappointing, but mainly because AotW was so strong before it … and this new one is more of a return to form (while not quite as good as AotW or ITDS).

I can’t lie, I got that from an interview with Karl Sanders I have posted up in my room. But I’m majoring in music theory, so I fully understand the brilliance of Karl Sanders.

+1 for knowing the scales that Nile uses. Most people look at me like I am crazy when I explain why Nile’s music is so badass and unique.

God Nile sucks. Anyone can play guitar like Karl Sanders. There’s absolutely nothing special about their songwriting, all he does is throw some Egyptian shit into generic death metal. Anyone can play those ancient instruments that he plays. Psssh, 20+ strings in a tuning completely foreign to Western music? Child’s play. And so what if he plays fast in completely unconventional modes. Any guitarist worth a shit can blaze up and down fifth-mode, harmonic minor, Phrygian, and diminished scales…

Just kidding, I fucking love Nile. Always have. Their musicianship, songwriting ability, and unique vision are top-notch. I don’t know a single person who knows his death metal and doesn’t listen to Nile.

i have trouble deciding whether this or annihilation of the wicked is better, they are both phenomenal.

This deserves a perfect rating and there probably will not be a better death metal album released this year. If you don’t like Nile, you don’t like death metal.

No, he’s using it correctly. “High water mark” and “watermark” as in the watermark on paper are two different things.

Love me some Nile!

So far it has been hard for me to get into this album. Im for more shred, less middle-eastern influence (lyrics aside), but what-the-fuck do I know?

Bash me but this is the only Nile album I’m actually digging

You don’t like AOTW?! Really i don’t know whether to treat you as one of those “undergrounder than thou” types, or feel sorry for you.

But the song’s have a nice mix of all of their styles WITHIN each track, not just songs that sound like they could be from “place-album-name-here”.

Regarding “Sanders’ throaty barking”:

Not to hairsplit, but Dallas handles most of the lead vocals now. Karl does the low growls.

pretty sure he’s using “water mark” incorrectly
