If you didn't know, Nile is a technical brutal death metal band (and they are NOT from Egypt,) Most of their lyrics are about ancient Egypt, Egyptian mythology and even some songs about the middle East and India.
1-Kafir! - 8.8/10 - Great intro. If your Muslim you might get offended by the lyrics...
2-Hittite Dung Incantation - 9/10 - Shorter then most of the other songs on the album. Very fast drums. Great guitar solo. The ending gets heavy...
3-Utterances of the Crawling Dead- 8 - Great vocals.Very Heavy. Very fast drumming.
4-Those Whom the Gods Detest - 9/10 - Starts off with a cool intro, I have no idea what instrument that is.... then it gets fast and brutal..... Great chorus, sounds a lot how Nile should, makes you think of Egypt. At about four and a half minutes in it goes back to the intro, but for just a few seconds before the song comes back, and starts off the second half of the song with a crazy guitar solo.
5-4th Arra Dragon - 9/10 - Longest song on the album. Great guitar parts, for some reason at 2:10 it reminds me of Nirvana... in a really strange way... Doesn't the drummer get tired playing these songs live? At around 4:55-5:20 and again at 5:40 there is some high pitched sound going on and off that I am not sure whether it is part of the song... The second half of the song is better then the first on vocals.
6-Permitting the Noble Dead to Descent to the Underworld - 9/10 - Second Shortest song on the album. There is a lot of music packed into 3:32 seconds, traveling at a very fast speed. The guitar solo is great.
7-Yezd Desert Ghul Ritual In The Abandoned Towers Of Silence - 6/10 This song is short, and more of a weird interlude than anything... It sounds like some kind of Ritual.... The lyrics are not in English, I think they said it was Arabian.. This song will also win the award for "most useless long title".
8-Kem Khefa Khesef - 7.5/10 Starts of fast and brutal and stays that way the entire song, although it isn't the fastest or heaviest song on the album...
9-The Eye of Ra - 8/10 - THE SOLO. THE GUITAR.
10- Iskander D'hul Karnon - 9.1/10 - Starts off with a great intro. Every instrument is perfect on this song.
Near the beginning the drumming reminds me of really fast thrash metal. Great way to end the album.
The average is 8.8, if it weren't for the song Yezd Desert Ghul Ritual In The Abandoned Towers Of Silence the average would be much higher, and since its more of an interlude I will give the album a 8
The album comes with a very large booklet (large for album booklets) that has info (sometimes multiple pages) on every song.
