NILE

Release Year: 2011
Artist Origin: USA
Style: intricate eerie technical death metal

the very first steps of Egyptian death metal guru's, twenty years back unleashed as a demo tape, recently were re-introduced again via this re-issue: five track recording stands quite firm on the ground, so it is no surprise they have shooted to the top quick enough after this; rawer production reveals a more thrash metal in the riffs and vocals, otherwise intricate structures already show the eerie, mystified side of the band - Nepenthe is a central track here that might raise an eybrow or two even today; exclusive three panel digipak edition, US import
