Nephren-Ka literally sounded like a bunch of mummies dug out of a catacomb playing death metal. It sounded rustic and authentic, that growl at the end of Stones of Sorrow...inhuman...
The newer albums sound, dare I say, human, polished. I'm not sure it's a production thing because Darkened Shrines had HUGE production and still managed to sound pretty nasty so it's hard to pin down, but they just seem to have lost their va-va-voom lol, although they're still a sick death metal band.
Epic = Unas Slayer of the Gods.
You don't think, say, Von Unaussprechlichen is awesome?

Sorry for the bump! Now I actually own the album and have spend some time listening to it, it's grown on me greatly, easily their best work since ITDS. The vocals aren't quite as inhuman as they used to be in places, but in terms of songs and memorable riffs this is doing way more for me than either Ithy or Annihilation.
