The members of Nile are bona fide ancient Egypt freaks, and the fascination creeps into their music in ways other than crypt-focused morbidity. Exotic eastern instrumentation adorns songs like "Kudurru Maqlu" and the epic battle blast of "Ramses Bringer of War." Some of this sounds tailor-made for Conan the Barbarian, but Nile never forgets that they're a death metal band first and foremost; their brutal guitars and free-jazz level drumming create dust devils of scouring noise.
Unknown Contributor Role: Tibetan Monks.
Personnel: Karl Sanders (vocals, guitar); Pete Hammoura (vocals, drums, dumbek); Chief Spires (vocals); Tibetan Monks (chant).
Recording information: Sound Lab, Columbia, SC; Sound Lab, Comumbia, SC.

Call it Discovery Channel metal if you must, but Nile runs circles around the majority of death metal acts that churn out cookie-cutter records crammed with juvenile gore-splattered lyrics and incomprehensible blastbeats. While their third full-length, In Their Darkened Shrines, finds these genre-leaders advancing their sound in minute increments from previous platters Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka and Black Seeds of Vengeance, all can be forgiven when taking into account Nile's staggering, well-researched thematic depth and impressive musicianship. Plus, like Black Seeds, the CD booklet details the weight of mastermind/guitarist, and unofficial Egyptologist Karl Sanders, which means the band's work captures the nastiness and pitch-black themes of death metal, while at the same time being a work ...

Instrumentals in metal are nothing new (heck, Metallica used to put one on every record!), but what is a new occurrence is the veritable wave of purely instrumental bands that seem to have spewed out of nothing in the waning years of the first decade of the ol' 21st. Some, like Pelican, are bands that have just simply brushed aside the need for a vocalist, letting guitar parts handle such melodies and harmonies and keeping a basic song structure that is, for the most part, band-driven. Others, like the "guitar collective" that is Tone, are more, well, collective in sound, sort of a wall of music, with guitars layered on top of guitars, all playing the same chord changes to produce something that sounds more like heavy-duty ripples emanating from a common center. If there is one band that manages to capture the grey area that the aforementioned bands create between them, it is certainly Red Sparowes, who do it to ...

Symphonic black metal will always be first and foremost associated with Norway, a locale that seems to spawn a new band sporting ghoulish face paint every bloody day. But by 2007, the style had long crossed over into other faraway territories, as evidenced by the emergence of Taiwan's ...
