Someone on a chat board somewhere asked what Nile was like, and the guy who replied said one line that summed it all up: "These guys don't fuck around!" Make no mistake, this is totally brutal, in-your-face death metal. Many songs have an obvious Egyptian theme, especially the kick-ass "Ramses Bringer of War" (based on Holst's "Mars, Bringer of War") It's short, but necessarily so, because it leaves you feeling like you've had your head slammed against a brick wall!
