Really great debut. Definitely better than some of their later albums. xD

I'm really not a Death Metal fan but I would say it's the only Nile album I can moderately enjoy. They went too much plain Brutal Death after this album.

Although I like quite a lot of Nile's later stuff as well, the reason why I have a particular fondness for the debut, is the sound is more textured, and the egyptian influences are allowed to shine through a lot more. This is also why "Black Seeds Of Vengeance" is the album of theirs I like the least. The brutality is a tad too overwhelming, which for a band like Nile, who's uniqueness all comes from their egyptian influenced sound, wasnt a good thing. The debut is brutal, but not overtly so. So the songs, and their unique sounds have much more room to breath. Really, it is IMO one of the classic death metal debuts, and one of the very few that is also compellingly original.

That's pretty much how I draw a line between this album and the rest of Nile's discography. After that, they went too much for sheer brutality, at the expense of the other elements.

I have to say this is their best album. Best song length, brutal, atmospheric, the attitude is there. Good stuff. Recommend to ANYONE who likes ANY death metal.

Unless you like metal core. Then you should go gut yourself with a wooden cooking spoon.

I agree. Tracks 5 and 11 were real good, but the rest is just a reminder of why I don't like American Death Metal. There's no emotion or atmosphere/ambiance/spirit/whatever you want to call it. No FEEL to it.
