Product Description
Product Description . Amazon.com 2002's In Their Darkened Shrines may have launched Nile into metal history for groundbreaking, synapse-snapping releases--and into the record-buying consciousness while crystallizing the unit's long-building promise. Annihilation Of The Wicked is rife with epic riffs, crisp, intelligent arrangements and playing that's masterfully focused. Simply put, it is a continuation of their campaign. Karl Sanders demonstrates once more that he is among the most accomplished death metal guitarists, possessing as he does not only acumen but an all-too-rare knack for creating the almighty death rock groove (best demonstrated on the title track, "Lashed To The Slave Stick"). "Cast Down The Heretic" is an instant genre classic. Jedd Beaudoin Review "Death Metals amswer to Iron Maiden" -- Metal Hammer May 2005 See more
Customer Reviews
When it comes to modern technical death bands, there are 2 trains of thought: Nile and Dying Fetus. Virtually all of the tech death metal bands follow either one of the two bands.The first wave of death metal ended around 1996-1998. The second wave of death metal began 1998 with Nile's Amongst The Catacombs of Nephren-Ka.Apart from Death, all of the other bands were beginning to sound stale, even Morbid Angel (though Formulas Fatal To the Flesh is a great album, it still sounds a bit old school). Death stood out from the rest of the first wave bands and did their own thing and that's what made Chuck so brilliant. So anyway, around 1998 the world needed something different from the death metal community. Out came Nile with Catacombs. It was fresh, it was exciting and that's the way tech death has been ever since. Dying Fetus' Killing On Adrenaline is also from 1998 and has the same kind of freshness as Catacombs.Annihilation, for me, is Nile's best album and sounds like what they were working towards their whole time. Annihilation is Nile's Sgt. Pepper.Best track: Cast Down The Heretic for sure.
