NILE

Release Year: 2000
Artist Origin: USA
Style: ominous dramatic intense death metal

two years past the genre-altering longplay debut, the masters of all things mysterious and archi-extreme are back with what is perhaps their career-defining moment - utter masterpiece of an album number two expands lyrical and musical range to an unheard consistency and depth, triumphing with a merciless, scathing death metal that remarkably builds on the energy and color, and presents Nile's fury in an even more epic, brutal and profound light, purifying peculiarly cinematic drama, raising the enigmatic stories of ancient millenniums with liner notes detailing topics behind each track for the first time, that eventually became a traditional practice, while Derek Roddy [ex.Hate Eternal] performs all drum parts in a blistering way as a session member; rare Dutch picture disk edition is limited to 2000 units
