NILE - NEW ALBUM ARTWORK + TRACK LISTING REVEALED



The reigning kings of technical, historically-themed brutality, NILE, have revealed the track listing and artwork for their latest state-of-the-death-metal-art release Those Whom the Gods Detest.



Produced and mixed by Neil Kernon (NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, QUEENSRYCHE), along with a stellar drum recording job by Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, VITAL REMAINS, GOATWHORE), Those Whom the Gods Detest features the bands strongest production and perhaps their best material to date!



The cover artwork was brought to realization this time around by Michal "Xaay" Loranc, whom Karl Sander’s had previously worked with on his 2nd solo record Saurian Exorcisms.

Those Whom the Gods Detest is scheduled for release in North America on November 3, 2009.



Catch NILE on their North American headlining tour with legendary label mates IMMOLATION, the Brazilian death metal kings KRISIUN, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS and female fronted blackened/deathsters DREAMING DEAD.



Confirmed dates can be viewed on the bandsMySpace Page.

Decent art this time around. If this leaks, someone let me know. The way Nile's albums have been not-quite-BSoV-or-AtCoNK lately makes me really want to preview it before buying it.

Yeeeeeeah I caught that a few minutes ago. *getting*

this is why you should check the file sharing section before making a thread like this.

wisdom.

Easy thing to forget. Still, the album kicks much ass.

I've heard its bad, but I'll download it to see regardless.

you must post on the smn boards because that's the only place i've seen people say negative things about it.

i only visit the death metal forum over there, and there are only a couple of people that don't really like this album that much, but they weren't really vocal about it.



anyway, i agree with some peeps over there that some of the riffs sound rehashed, but overall i enjoy the album much much much more than Ithyphallic, i may like it more than ITTS after 5-10 more spins, and i'd like it more than BSOV if it had a song like To Dream of UR

People who listen to this album and don't go "DAMN." should probably be stabbed . It's what AotW and Ithyphallic were not (imo).

i lke AotW better

Overall, for now, it feels like a sincere album. I also like this somewhat vintage-y sound. Maybe it has some rehashed stuff going on from time to time ( it's not "original"), but after this few listens I can say I like the atmosphere, and it feels a lot more solid as a whole than their 2 previous outputs.

Nope. This is the only metal forum I post on regularly. Every other metal board seems retarded. They all seem to hate pirating, so fuck em. Plus I try not to spend much time on the internet anymore.



EDIT: This album is awesome.

That song is epic incarnate.

The new song on myspace is great.

This album is their best since shrines. So much better than Ithyphllic.

The production is absolutely ball-crunching.



NIce to have some audible bass. The leads are amazing as usual as are the riffs. I'm stunned.

I've grown to almost hate Nile, but my inner 15 year old is interested. *gets*

I'm not even going to bother with this stale bread

why would you, the commies are more broots toots from the poops chutes

I have to ask, what is it with you and tuning to A?

best album since shrines, thus, win

Little does he know that I'm tuned to G.

well that's just gay.

[quote name="zim"]well that's just gay.[/quote]

You're just jealous.



(In all seriousness, I do think tuning below A or Ab is dumb)

why exactly

[quote name="Tyreese BIGGUMS"]why exactly[/quote]

That's the bass's range.

i agree, i think it's becoming a new trend to get an 8 string guitar and tune it as low as possible.

I tuned mine so low the strings are all flaccid and bendy. It produces subsonic vibrational forms which move me to my core very deeply. I have also moved two people to tears and three to orgasm.

it's not instantly heavier if you tune down.



it's not instantly more fruital if you play it at 160bpm plus.



that is science and athletics and should be left to scientists and athletes. Music is meant to be made by musicians who can evoke the heaviest and most fruital atmospheres with skill and talent.

You mean Dave Mustaine right?

and a bass can go into guitar octaves, what is your point exactly?

Because we measure range generally by lowest note in the bass family. A Contra bass is a contra bass because of how low it goes. An 8 string guitar is essentially a contra bass.

I think you're right.

yeah cos playing in G on a baritone guitar, and playing the open G on a standard-tuned bass definitely results in the same tonal properties.

well i think we're just trying to say that tuning that low sounds like complete ass.

haha that sounded funny when dallas said it

Iskander is the best song on the album

I love how pissed Nile BB gets over piracy.

And most likely 50 % or more of them have downloaded it already.

it shouldnt matter, if you are a real fan you will buy the album regardless to support the band you like so that they can continue.

The term "real fan" or "true fan" is pointless.

I suppose, but why would you if you can get them for free.



As I say, I like the music, not the people.

Then what format you prefer is not relevant.

the ginger one just pointed me to this win and im glad he did
