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!

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Ithyphallic - Nile
Advantages: BRUTAL and kick ass!!!! Disadvantages: None
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 ... ...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 friggin ass. They've still got the ancient Egyptian influences.
Two bonus tracks on the album are:
11. "As He Creates So He Destroys" (Instrumental; ...
