I just watched the clip for 'Sarcophagus', - which was the first song that i heard of them awhile ago - and really liked it. I didnt have any expectations for it, and the clip seemed to fit the mood/atmosphere of the music. Oh and they have a video for 'Sacrifice Unto Sebek' ... cool i'l give that a watch!

Be sure to check out their "Execration Text" video. You can find it on YouTube.com pretty easy.

Oh thanks! I'll definatly be sure to do that tomorrow ... my net isnt fast enough at home so i'll do it at college. Good to see im spending my time well

Hmm, what is your favorite song fromthem? Mine is 'Unas, Slayer Of The Gods'. It is soo stunning..

His Existance, Is Everlasting. Awesome shit.

Ah yeah, I can agree with you.

I'll just make a top10 list (in no order):

Sacrifice Unto Sebek
Cast Down The Heretic
Smashing The Antiu
Beneath Eternal Oceans Of Sand
Kheftiu Asar Butchiu
Sarcophagus
Execration text

Had to leave out so many great songs... As you can see I prefer their latest work (ITDS and AOTW) but I like everything they've done. To listen to their earliest stuff I have to be in a certain mood though.

That's one of my favorite Nile parts in any of their songs. I love how Mike Breazeale, I believe it is, yells that line and then it jumps into those heavy ass guitars and those low, gutteral growls of Karl.

As for favorite songs, I can't choose really. I enjoy them all.

Yes, I find it amazing too. It is also weird how it fits perfectly with acoustic guitar..

A lot of favourites. Some include:

Black Seeds Of Vengeance
Lashed To The Slave Stick
The Blessed Dead
Kheftiu Asar Butchiu
Sarcophogus
Winds Of Horus

....looking back on it, the last two especially. Also, the Nile instrumentals are great.

I have known Nile for quite some time. But it wasent until about a week ago it suddenly hit me, "Black Seeds of Vengeance" is such a fuckin great song. I am definitly going to get that album soon to hear more stuff from Nile.

That's weird, the same thing happened to me. It took a little time to get into that song. I love it now, probably my favorite at the moment actually.

Nile were on Graspop Metal Meeting, well, I had to miss them unfortunately .. they just didn't have what it takes to keep me on the festivalground, so me and some friends went down to the camping again .. smoke some pot .. and return for a better band (it was a twenty-minute walk .. goddamnit)

I just got "Annilation of the Wicked" yesterday, and the only thing I had heard by them previously was "In the Beggining". Im looking to buy "In their Darkened Shrines", is this a good album compared to their most recent (which I have enjoyed greatly in the past 48 hours)?

In Their Darkened Shrines is their best work to date. And by far.

Their previous material is definitely worth listening to. The Egyptian ambiances are more present than on Annihilation... (In their Darkened Shrine is probably my favourite Nile album so it's obvious I'll tell you it's a good one )

Saw them yesterday. My god, my god, my god.

They started with 'The Blessed Dead' and played songs like: 'Cast Down The Heretic', 'Sarcophagus', 'Annihilation Of The Wicked' and as last one 'Black Seeds Of Vengeance'.

They are hell! They were awesome, amazing, asthonishing, mindfucking, crazy, destroying, destruction..

Glory to the Egyptian Gods! They came, they saw, they trampled us all!!!

I only own Annihilation of the Wicked currently, but its an awesome album imo. Will be picking up more just as soon as I can spare the cash!

Get 'In Their Darkened Shrines'! It is wicked.

Their hometown is about an hour and a half from my town so I'm sure I'll catch them at one time or another. They're supposed to put out a new album in 2007, so there will be another tour, which I will catch.

Well I saw them this weekend... on the waldrock festival (NL) and is was amazing how much they are grown in their sound. Perfect gig and with a good vibe on stage:)

I agree. It's my favorite Nile album. It has more variety and change than the others but they all are good.

Currently listening to: Cast Down the Heretic- Nile

@Silvia, hell yeah, it was great.

And moshpit was good too.

My favorite album of theirs changes all the time. I enjoy them all so much, right now I'd say BSOV is my favorite.

BSOV is fucking awesome too. It was the first Nile album I got and the first one I heard.

I've heard all this band's albums, and they didn't really do it for me. It came across as an overuse of blast beats / drum fills, and the vocals had no variation, and the solos all seem to have the same feel. Granted, I loved 'Cast Down the Heretic' and that album is pretty bloody good, but overall Nile don't seem to do anything very special. Maybe I need to give them more of a listen? But after playing through their material once I hardly find any motivation to give them a second chance.
