I think I will wait until the proper release, but I have listened to the new track that's on the myspace - 'Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld' - it sounded pretty good. Mostly fairly typical Nile (not a bad thing) with a couple of interesting ideas in there. Unfortunately it does sound like they've retained the kick drum sound from Ithyphallic, which I was not keen on, I was hoping they would go back to the AOTW sound.

 

[Dudley]

Been listening to this a hell of a lot over the last few days, it's surprisingly decent and a big step up over the last few records I think.

 

[mazzy maz]

Sounds great, I have the CD on pre-order. I love the vocals on Kaffir, clear but brutal.

 

[abysmalrites]

It's a good album. Like a few others, I was hoping for another AotW. The main thing I was kind of wishing for is that they would go back to the vocal style on the earlier works. Dallas is a capable vocalist, but his vocals aren't quite what I'm used to with Nile. Sanders should do moar of his low craziness.

I'm gonna wait to buy this, but it's Nile so I'm pretty confident it'll be awesome.

I like it a lot.

 

[drmosh]

you guys that downloaded it better buy it too!

 

[reptillion]

im listening to the single for the third time. this is awesome. vocals kick ass too

 

[Pauly]

Sounds good to me, although In Their Darkened Shrines and ATC of Nephren Ka are still my faves.

 

[Adamame]

Wow! I haven't heard Nile in years!

 

[st2012]

you guys that downloaded it better buy it too!

Don't worry, I already have it pre-ordered.

 

[vampiregenocide]

Holy crap thats the first Nile song I think I've liked might have to check out the new album!

 

[DiezelMonster]

Nephren-Ka will always be my favourite! It's funny in all the ads and interviews they always talk about how much more "epic" and "grand" the newer records are, but it never sounds as awesome as Catacombs! they just sound faster, and in fact have less epic songs, but this one sounds pretty awesome! hopefully the rest of the record is not just a speed freak out and it has some dynamics and "Opening of the Mouth" will always be my #1 nile song to crank!

Sounds really good. I wasn't really happy with their last album, so this is cool.

 

[Pauly]

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.

 

[Nick]

it's surprisingly decent

 

[All_¥our_Bass]

Have they gone back to having more of the exotic instrument parts?

I really missed that on AoTW and Ityphalic.

 

[liamh]

Bloody crap, that artwork is nice.
I'm waiting 'till this comes out to buy it.

 

[Nick]
