Nile are probably the most worshipped band in the death genre nowadays. They are good at what they do and deserve the admiration they get. Creative (intros, arrangements) and always heavy (part blast part chug), a throwback to the bands of old. This disc offers up 'Festivals Of Atonement' and 'Ramses Bringer Of War' in one release. Maybe this'll start a trend. Get ready Egyptcore is on it's way. Most will probably fail to make bricks without straw though. May they find a locust in their falafel for such blasphemy.
