Nile, wtf?

[exo]

So I'm guessing some of you have heard the new Nile song?

Nile: 'The Fiends Who Come to Steal the Magick of the Deceased' (PREMIERE) - Noisecreep

Personally I had great expectations for this, thinking it would be even more epic than their last two albums. I was wrong.
- The song has no structure
- The vocals sound like someone puking and generally being ill
- The whole just feels pointless, it goes nowhere
- The mix is absolutely abysmal. What the hell?!

What do you think?

Uhh.....this sounds EXACTLY LIKE NILE. I don't get the bitching about anything other than the mix............

 

[Lirtle]

The only thing I hate is that fucking snare. Everything else sounded pretty good to me.

 

[Adam Of Angels]

I don't mind the vocals. Mix could've been a bit thicker and drums could've been a bit lower but it's perfectly listenable.

What I'm worried about is the promo shot... Nile gone pretty boy?

....where are the pretty boys?

....where are the pretty boys?

The fat one on the right,

I AM BIG FAN
MAKE LOTZ OF MUZIK. LOTZ.
BUT IF YU CHANGE ANYTING
I WILL FIND YOU


Seriously though. It sounds like a livestream of a rough mix of a Nile song. Pretty much what I expected.

 

[FrancescoFiligoi]

Song is good for me, but the mix is very different, and way less brutal and raw than their previous work.

 

[shellbound]

i don't mind the clean vocals, actually, but the shouted ones are fucking awful. guitars are kind of thin. and that snare blows.

bummer.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

I was trying to figure out what the guitars sounds like...and I realized they sound like a pod xt

 

[Icecold]

If been a big Nile kick recently and I really enjoyed this song. This band needed a change at some point down the line, on the last 2 albums it would get to a point to where I could barely tell the difference between most of the tracks.

 

[Quantumface]

if anything the production is my favorite part. Solid clarity on everything IMO. as far as the riffing, typical Nile riffing with terrible ear for harmony. Idk if theyve always thought that shit sounds "egyption" or what, but god damn. and what were they thinking with the vocals this time around.

Guitar tones are iffy, but that may just be my shitty headphones.

Vocals are super awesome though. Reminds me of Disma.

 

[Nirob]

i heard it for the first time and i thought wtf happened to their massive guitar tone???! I did'nt like the guitar tone at all... sounds really thin, scooped for my taste.

 

[imlikemike]

I'll agree I'm not fond of the guitar tone this time around, but I'll hold my judgement until I've listened to the whole album when it's released.

 

[wrongnote85]

that sounded exactly like.......





every nile song, ever.

 

[IronGoliath]

Way to jump the gun lads. Nile is the most consistent and best death metal band PERIOD.

Wait for the album to come out. Keep Calm and Kafir!

 

[in-pursuit]

this thread is worse than the snarf snarf one.

 

[Ninjahat]

Stopped taking your comment seriously here.

I really like it. The mix is a bit weird, but more Karl vocals/a the thrashier style of vocals are cool.



I hate to break it too you, and it may be a surprise, but the new song is in fact not either of the songs you posted, it's a new song by the same band.

Also just because the song isn't Kafir doesn't mean George isn't doing hard stuff, or going to to do "krayzzee" stuff on the album. If you are listening to a band purely for blast beats at 290 you are doing it wrong.

PFFFFFFFT! The ONLY thing I care about is blast beats. If a band doesn't have any blastbeats, why bother listening?

 

[RuffeDK]

I like it.

Me too. What's wrong with these people No offense.

Nile has done better, but I don't think this is bad at all.

 

[gunch]

Having listened to so much Mithras, I quite liked the shouted vocals.

I don't get the comparison between this and Black Seeds of Vengence though. Even Black Seeds of Vangence had massive balls guitar wise.

Sick album art though.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

Can't say too much until I hear more, but I'm all for different sonics and slightly different style. Some of us have been following Nile for 15yrs now, so stylistic drift to some degree is welcome IMHO.
