^I've never been huge on Nile. I like them, sure, but there are more
memorable technical/brutal death metal acts out there! Also, welcome
back Khaliq!! ![]() ![]() |

I used to be a big fan of Nile several years ago, but as I've gotten older and realized what makes music resonate with me (Primarily anything that evokes a primal response, but good songwriting is a key thing for me), most of their stuff bores me these days. At the Gates of Sethu and What Should Not Be Unearthed had them going in a direction I liked and are pretty good, but that's about it. As far as tech death goes, there's no beating Atheist, perfect example of fantastic songwriters not letting technical bravado get in the way of great hooks. and thanks

Yeah, I get why they'd appeal to anyone who really loves impressive technical skill. Just for me, technical skill doesn't mean anything to me if they don't have the songwriting skills to go with it.
Concerts are always a completely different experience, even if a band isn't your favorite on album, they can still put on an entertaining performance. I haven't seen Nile (lol almost did on the What Should Not Be tour), so I can't give an opinion on them live.
