Their best so far!

Advantages: you will bow down to these masters of death metal
Disadvantages: once you have played it to death, you have to wait for the next release!

I have been a fan of Nile for many years, probably since Black seeds, I have since bought all of their albums and eagerly awaited each release and have not been dissapointed yet. I really believe that since George Kollias joined the band, Nile have been able to acheive a level previously not able reach with previous drummers, and right from the get go in 'what may be safely written' the seamless machine gun perfect precision double bass blasts and ...
...album I get chills because what they produce is almost inhuman. Karl and Dallas, as usual, pull of alltime beautiful melodies, crunching rhythms and that quintessential egyptian sound. The way their guitars intertwine with each other is just unbelievable! 1. What may be safely written: Hands down best song on the album, it has everything, awesome build up of authentic sounding instruments that a pharoah would be pleased to listen to, followed by ...

Review of Ithyphallic - Nile

A brilliant album

Advantages: Tremendous, consistent songs
Disadvantages: It can all get a bit cheesy at times

...are highly commended by me. Battle Metal took seven years in the making, which is possible a bit excessive for any band, although some have certainly taken longer. But the result is simply amazing. The album is essentially a battle cry, fuelled by guitars, strong vocals, an accordian, a beating drum and so on. Their image gives a good idea of what to expect - they pose in fur, with swords etc. It must all be taken in good fun, with a touch of irony. ...
...than at first it may seem - that they are about daily life, not just war. Regardless of what you may think of the lyrics, the songs themselves never disappoint, with the title track being particularly grand. Its not necessarily the kind of album you would want to play to someone who is not into viking metal, because it can all get pretty cheesy at times, and is likely to make them cringe. But if you are a metal fan, I strongly recommend this album. ...

Review of Battle Metal - Turisas

Cryptopsy -the unspoken KIng -''perished into nothingness''

Advantages: the price
Disadvantages: everything you can think of as being poor and lacking originality

...to him. This album The Unspoken KIng has gone beoynd all frames what it used to be earlier. Pure metalcore defaming Cryptopsy's core concept. There are only 2 remaining band members. I had an opportunity to talk to the remaining band members after one gig and they said it wasn't what they wanted in terms of musical production and composition. They were pursuing better label offers and more gigs. I cant even compare and draw any parallels between ...
...''The PLague'' from their last album is sheer blasphemy of Cryptopsy. ''None so vile'' is Cyptopsy's first and last achievement the band can be proud of and will be remembered for. If you liked the band previous wrorks, then You will definitely be questioning this album's originality and usefulness. To cut the story short -the band has perished into nothingness... ...

Review of Unspoken King, The - Cryptopsy

Review on I Monarch by Hate Eternal

Advantages: KICK ASS as usual
Disadvantages: none

I do not own this album, but I own the one that came after this, but I plan to buy this one because I LOVE THIS BAND. This is your chance to become a real metal head and prove that you can indeed listen to something this kick ass and brutal. I can confidently say to you that they are one of the best bands about right now. Still in doubt? The track list for this album is: 1. "Two Demons" - 03:55 2. "Behold Judas" - 04:21 3. "The Victorious Reign" ...
...- 04:15 5. "I, Monarch" - 04:37 6. "Path to the Eternal Gods" - 03:28 7. "The Plague of Humanity" - 04:02 8. "It Is Our Will" - 04:41 9. "Sons of Darkness" - 04:56 10. "Faceless One" - 04:39 Unlike some bands' albums, every single song on this album is great, so the album is very worth getting. Erik Rutan's voice is just as powerful. ...
