With today's death metal scene glutted by substandard bands lacking
conviction and skill, the search for quality acts can seem like a
hopeless journey across desolate desert sand, one which leaves fans
desperate and disillusioed with an ever- growing thirst for the talent
and bruality they crave. Hailing from South Carolina, NILE
represent a ray of hope on a bleak horizon.
Formed in 1993 by Karl Sanders(Guitar/Vocals),Chief Spires(Bass/Vocals),
and pete Hammoura(Drums), NILE wasted
little time in creating a unique style of music blending the ferocity
of modern day deathmetal with the ancient tones of the Middle East.
NILE's self-proclaimed "lthyphallic
Metal" contains the strength and dynamics needed to transport
the listener to distant landscape now buried by the sands of time.After
releasing a single demo in 1994,the band honed in on their vision
and began work on the well received Festivals Of Atonement cassette/CD,
relased in 1995, At about the same time,the band played a number of
shows in the Southeastern U.S. supporting such acts as OBITUARY, DEICIDE,BROKEN
HOPE,and SIX FEET UNDER. NILE quickly
gained the exposure needed to climb to the top in their local scene,Drawing
more rabid fans with each show.
'
With "Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka,"
NILE brings the past to the present and carries death metal
in to the future. Tremendous drum blast beat down upon you like the
oppressive midday sun in the heart of the Sahara. Howling vocals cry
out from beneath the crypts of pharaohs long since past.Swirling guitar
encircle the listener like vicious sandstorms, while venomous soloslash
out with a swiftness of a desert asp. just subject yourself to the
controlled chaos of Smashing the Antiu,the crptic barbarity of Barra
Edinazzu, the crushing weight of Stones of Sorrow, or the sickening
blast known as Pestilence and Iniquity.With a production job as messive
and heavy as the pyramids themselves, Amongst... threatens to squash
all non-believers while thousands of new followers are indoctrinated
into the cult. Worshippers of the dead and devotees of the extreme
will feast on those offerings like manna from the gods - NILE
are an oasis bringing new life to the world of death. |
