If one is in need of music that is merciless enough to damn
your enemies into the darkest depths of the underworld (or possibly intense
enough to bring back those who have already crossed over) then look no further
than the extreme metal that is brought forth every couple of years by the kind
South Carolinan boys in Nile. Torturous to listen to of one’s favorite music
falls under the “Taylor Swift” category, Nile are the curators of some of the
most extreme music ever created on this planet thus far. They are truly brutal,
but they don’t place that quality above everything else like many modern
deathcore bands, for example, that whip out their “br00tality” and wave it all
over the place when, in all actuality, their music sounds a bit silly, even
laughable. Nile is no-nonsense and there’s absolutely nothing funny about them,
and while many will roll their eyes at their strong emphasis on ancient Egypt
(the exclusive topic of their lyrics), no one should deny their tremendous
level of musical integrity. At this point, Nile have become death metal Deities
and dauntless defenders of the metal faith, and the world is a heavier place
with them on it.
