People say Nile's stuff is hard to play. I don't know what they're talking about. I just load up a cd or mp3s of theirs & press play. Boom, I'm playing Nile. Simple.
Not hard to listen to, either. Just nod your head to the rhythm. Really fast. BTW, Tylenol (paracetamol) and aspirin work pretty well on those neck muscle aches...
haha yeah. I remember when i first started playing guitar YEARS BACK, the first day, I pulled up a nile tab and tried play some of their songs. You can probably guess how that turned out. I gave it about 1 year before attempting again
Even though i've been at many Nile's concerts, i've never being able to yell "PLAY CHAPTER OF OBEISANCE BEFORE GIVING BREATH TO THE INERT ONE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CRESCENT"
I had the hoodie they released for this album. It was my prized possession, I wore it every day. One night I went to a house party, got black out drunk and when I woke up in the morning the hoodie was gone. I searched everywhere for it but never found it. To this day, some 17 years later, I still miss that hoodie and get periodically pissed off I lost it. Such is life.
I mourn your loss brother. Actually felt the pain in your writting, since I also have a beloved Defeated Sanity hoddie I wear basically everyday. It is still with me, so I'm lucky. Hahahah Stay strong! \m/
What I love is that this is heavy as FUCK all while still sounding like greatly composed music. Not just noise or br00tality for the sake of noise or br00tality
I like how I actually can hear lyrics in the vocals...as opposed to unintelligible death metal where there's no point to even having printed lyrics since it doesn't sound like it at all
I agree 100%, it was years ahead of his time. At the first listening i was speechless. You should also check out the new Hideous Divinity EP, the drumming is something out of this world: fast and technical but musical at the same time. If you dig "Annihilation of the wicked " you won't be disappointed.
ElectricSoldier i saw one of their older guitarists live in his own band... may one of this album's ... blondie...i was always out of it... on an mtv headbangers ball tour in a small venue in shreveport. he was nice as fuck tho!!!
I still remember buying this album in 2005 then taking it home and delving into it after smoking some weed. I was still exploring death metal at the time and when I heard this everything clicked and it blew my ass away like few albums have done before or since. It's one of those game changers for me as far as musical exploration goes. User-Maat-Re is probably my favorite Nile song ever.
Throughout time there have been only a handful of brutal albums that will live forever. This, my friends, is one of them. When you go years and years without hearing an album and then you put it on and remember every nuance and note, every riff by heart from the depths of your mind - you know it's one of the legacy albums. So many memories from this album. Metal will never die.
This was the first death metal album I ever bought when I was about 15. I'm now almost 27, and I don't think I have bought one since that's been as good. Nile absolutely slays.
literally same. Buddy of mine mentioned this band to me in high school, I went home and listened to AoW (song) on TH-cam. When those triplets came in over the lead in the beginning of the song my life was permanently changed.
This was me except with Black Seeds when that came out haha. Same age. Those were heady times. A golden age the likes of which will probably never be seen again cuz it was all still new.

It's incredible how heavy this album is while still managing to have sections that are so soft and melodic. This album is a majestic death metal symphony.
The riff in Chapter of Obeisance... at 23:34 is one of my favorite Nile riffs ever. The way it comes in out of nowhere is sick. Its only a 8 second or so riff. Nile has a lot of riffs like that where they could build a song off of it or maybe do a fading outro but for some reason only tease you with it.
I remember buying this album the day it came out, and being absolutely blown away by this death metal masterpiece, didnt take this out of my cd player for months, George Kollias took them to the next level. Still one of the best in Nile's catalog. You shall be lashed to the slave stick..
That drumming, these basslines and fast string plucking, these fast guitar passages and these riffs, this agressive and low vocals! Every fucking instrument is played at a very high level of musicianship, everything is perfectly combined, everything is perfectly mixed and the mastering is just amazing, the album cover artwork is also great. I love Nile and I really love this album. There are not many gems like this and it's fantastic that albums like this one do exist!!!!!!!!!!
@@dimifisher Entombed has one good record. Two ok ones, and the rest are god awful. Get past you introductory knowledge of Death metal. Entombed isn't even in the top ten Death metal bands. You have no idea what you're talking about
In the past 10-15 years I've become a lot more selective about my music. Back then, I just went for the most brutal and more importantly, the most obscure things I could find. The more my internet forum echochambers proclaimed "this is more brutal!" the more interested I was. Anything on the level of popularity of Nile was quickly abandonend. Lo and behold 15 years later, what stuck around? Nile. I haven't listened to this album in at least a year or two but the riffs are still fresh in my mind. The "brutality" is comparable if not better than whaterver shit Unique Leader band I was into at the time. The opening riff of Sacrifice Unto Sebek is burned into my brain and there it shall stay.
Been listening to this gem for 17 years now, about 500 times. I will never ever grow tired of this. No album in my catalogue comes close to the amount of plays I have on this one. This level of brutality has never before and never since been combined with this amount of atmosphere. I feel more powerful than Cthulhu every single listen. Absolute masterpiece!
On Myspace, Nile ran a draw to see who would attend the Master Class given by Karl Saunders before the Concert in Cleveland. I was one of the winners, met the band and took the lesson. Then saw the soundcheck with back stage passes. I had made a King Tut themed flying V using Warmoth components, gold leafed with 24kt gold. I had stayed up all night to be ready and then asked Dallas if he wanted to use my King Tut Guitar for soundcheck. He realized I didnt tune the lowest string to D from E and handed it back. I was so close to hearing my guitar play this albums music, but he posed for photos with it after the check. Then we watched this albums concert.
I don't know if this is my favorite death metal album but it's definitely my most revisited. It manages to be blisteringly fast, bludgeoningly brutal and dizzingly technical while staying CATCHY. Not an easy feat, hats off to these mythological lads.
One has to be careful when listening to extreme metal, because once your ears become attuned and you develop a taste for it, nothing else satisfies in quite the same way.
I remember hearing about some Egypt based death metal band and thinking haha. But then I was at some show where they opened and was completely blown away. I can’t even remember who I was there to see. I just remember Nile.
It's fucking funny when they name a track that is at least ten words long. I'm waiting for the day when one track is an essay on the back of the album.
Bal-Sagoth do it a fair amount; they have an album called "Starfire Burning Upon The Ice-Veiled Throne Of Ultima Thule" with song names like "And Lo, When the Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth, Then Dark Sorceries Shall Enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown" Don't let the long names put you off though, they're excellent and not as edgy as they sound
Bolt Thrower's name is far less known these days that it was 20 years ago, yet other bands from the same era are more known these days than Bolt Thrower is. I've mentioned their name to many people who listen to death metal yet have never heard of them.
I sat down to listen to Sacrifice Unto Sebek a little while ago and I just ended up listening to the whole album. I couldn’t stop. The songwriting is just too damn good. Every song is catchy or brings something interesting to the table.
@@edwinhassid.7337 Late comment, but Egypt is awash with civil violence and unrest (has been for some years now), tourism overall has taken a devastating dive. Also, being a Muslim nation now Metal music really isn't embraced or accepted as any kind of norm, there have been several metal musicians native to countries in the region who have been killed because of it or imprisoned on basically heresy charges. It isn't safe for them to play there. Slayer had some problems even back when they recorded Seasons in the Abyss in the region, they had a pretty substantial production team and a lot of security around them to keep them safe for the short time they were there, but still isn't nearly as dangerous as it is right now in the country.
Love the lyrics department of this album, Cast Down and User-Maat-Re, have really epic lyrics, and contain great storytelling. Great album in general, hail Nile.
17:10 you can pinpoint the moment at which an ancient mummy explodes at the chest, hundreds of feet below the earth in the catacombs of a pyramid, unleashing a whirlwind of scarabs to wipe out all those who ran and hid from sacrificing blood and sweat so the ancient gods may save our world from the horrors of modern man
1"Dusk Falls upon the Temple of the Serpent on the Mount of Sunrise" - 0:51 2"Cast Down the Heretic" - 5:45 3"Sacrifice Unto Sebek" - 3:03 4"User-Maat-Re" - 9:14 5"The Burning Pits of the Duat" - 3:52 6"Chapter of Obeisance Before Giving Breath to the Inert One in the Presence of the Crescent Shaped Horns" - 5:21 7"Lashed to the Slave Stick" - 4:18 8"Spawn of Uamenti" - 1:14 9"Annihilation of the Wicked" - 8:36 10"Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten" - 9:46 11"Sss Haa Set Yoth" (Bonus track Japón) - 5:15
I'll always remember the night I was blasting User-Maat-Re from my home stereo and my neighbor came over to smoke some weed. He walked in the house as I left the song playing full blast and he said "damn bro, ok, wow, you doing alright?". Yes, yes I am!
I would say in their darkened shrines has some pretty technical drumming while annihilation of the wicked has very advanced guitar work, not that either isn't proficient at both!
Once you're hooked your hooked, forget about it , game over. I'm 58 and I appreciate almost any genre of music that takes talent to play, sure it sounds like noise to the average listener but anybody that gets it realizes how technical alot of this type of music is .

FUCKING INSANE. Cast Down The Heretic, Lashed To The Slave Stick, Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten are the best songs of the album IMO.
Do NOT miss a chance to see these guys live... great stuff
masterpiece, I've appreciated Nile ever since 2011!
great composition
Reason enough to buy a good pair of headphones
One of the best LP ever recorded. EVER. Pure awsomness
One of the best death metal albums, ever! Amazing energy!
My fave NILE album ever! It is so stupidly perfect from start to finish!
just amazing
I'll always remember the night I was blasting User-Maat-Re from my home stereo and my neighbor came over to smoke some weed. He walked in the house as I left the song playing full blast and he said "damn bro, ok, wow, you doing alright?".
Yes, yes I am!
And another very underrated album, this is epic music
literally their top rated album by fans 🤣
Just bought this album in digipak CD form! One of my favourite Nile albums
Dead ass this is the best technical death metal album of all time imo. Masterpiece after masterpiece after MASTERPIECE.
My favorite Nile album. It's probably a lot of people's favorite Nile album too. Who agrees with me?
that pinch harmonic at 10:30
Their best work published and one of the best Death Metal Albums of all times.....10!!!
This album is just phenomenal!
I'm 34. I still remember when this came out.
扣人心弦 賺人熱淚🤧🤧
傑作
One of the Best DM albums ever released. 50 plus minutes of pure brilliance
😮
✓ Kiefer Sutherland
Betty Crocker
I would say in their darkened shrines has some pretty technical drumming while annihilation of the wicked has very advanced guitar work, not that either isn't proficient at both!
It's pretty cool of Relapse to put up full albums on YT like this
I use to have this album I remember reading about the meaning of each song it's very interesting.
I swear this is the best album ever recorded. Eargasm
Fuck man, I think I'm finally starting to GET death metal.
Once you're hooked your hooked, forget about it , game over. I'm 58 and I appreciate almost any genre of music that takes talent to play, sure it sounds like noise to the average listener but anybody that gets it realizes how technical alot of this type of music is .
For me this is their greatest album that I do not feel they will ever be able to eclipse, absolute masterpiece!!!🤘
