From the song names to the aesthetics to the music, everything here screams "Nile." However, as long as the quality is as high as it is on "Xul", I don't mind at all. Solid material until the next album of the supposed role model.

It has a great quality sound, very much like Nile like mentioned above, the heavy tone is excellent but the songwriting is kinda dull, there's alot of technicality involved, it's got a tight but complex structure and it's undeniably brutal and well made, but it certainly doesn't exite me.

I totally get where you are coming from. Strangely I somewhat feel the same, and then there´s a strange kind of groove in the monotonous delivery, that gets me listening to this again and again.

Certainly does sound like (older) Nile - their previous albums don't. One of the key things they get right is that the drums sound organic rather than triggered.
