Background
By the time the Blue Nile: - Paul Buchanan, Robert Bell and P.J.

Anything played by Nile must be BRUTAL. Notice the word brutal was in capitals. I have never once been dissatisfied by a Nile album, and this one certainly was brutal enough to satisfy me.
The album was released fairly recently, which was July 17, 2007.
The track list on this album is:
1. "What Can Be Safely Written" - 8:15
2. "As He Creates So He Destroys" - 4:36
3. "Ithyphallic" - 4:40
4. "Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks from He Who Is in the Water" - 2:56
5. "Eat of the Dead" - 6:29
6. "Laying Fire Upon Apep" - 3:25
7. "The Essential Salts" - 3:51
8. "The Infinity of Stone" - 2:04
9. "The Language of the Shadows" - 3:30
10. "Even the Gods Must Die" - 10:01
Niles style of death metal still hasn't changed from anything but unique and kick ...
