Nile – Black Seeds Of Vengeance (2000)

May 25, 2023

You know the score by now – absurdly technical, down-tuned and blurry death metal that is intricately composed yet verging on the possibility of completely falling apart and sounding like completely pointless mush. It is indeed a fine line to walk, and such a constant barrage of Egyptian-theme barbarity can grate on the ears, with or without decent production (Black Seeds… is somewhere in the middle). However, if you are in the mood for have your sense completely blasted with unforgiving technical death metal, then I can’t really think of a better band off the top of my head that does it as well as Nile.
