 (2 Customer Reviews)
It's hard to not be impressed by the sheer sonic onslaught that is otherwise known as Nile. Except to the most hardened death metal fanatic, the genre has a way of sounding the same after a while, but Nile is one of the few exceptions -- able to put their own unmistakable fingerprints on this heavy duty style (Egyptian-influenced lyrics and musical bits, highly impressive instrumental dexterity, etc.). And on their sixth studio effort overall, 2009's Those Whom the Gods Detest, Nile has once again proven that they are a step ahead of the rest of the pack. Although some of the sonic depth has to be attributed to producer Neil Kernon (after all, he worked with such sticklers for audio perfection as Queensr˙che in the past), it's the true metallic fury that Nile create themselves that makes it all extremely impressive. Case in point, such delicious death metal ditties as "Kafir!," while on selections such as the title track and what's sure to be top metal song title of 2009, "Yezd Desert Ghul Ritual in the Abandoned Towers of Silence," Karl Sanders shows why he is considered by many to be the finest guitarist of the extreme metal genre (both songs incorporate Sanders' love of all things Middle Eastern). "Exotic" and "heavy metal" are not often terms used together, but in the case of Those Whom the Gods Detest, they go together as splendidly as peanut butter and jelly. ~ Greg Prato

Those Whom The Gods Detest Music Those Whom The Gods Detest Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  As brutal as it gets!!
There's little doubt that this is by far their best recorded album. But not only that, its also an amazing album. For those who have dissed Nile in the past because of the quality of their recordings, this album will definitely please those who are looking for an intelligent, fast-paced and progressive death metal album! Definitely one to add to your collection! Also, sounds amazing under headphones!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Best nile album
This album is amazing!!! The first thig you will notice with it is rhe production, it's the nest sound ever on a Nile record... Legendary Erik rutan produced the drums and Neil kernon finished te rest, it's really good!!! The speed is also incredible, if you haven't listened to Nile before you should they are insanely fast and heavy!!! The songs are epic in all aspects ov the word, their last album ithyphalic was amazing as well as all ov thier albums but I think this one beats it, the production the speed and the solos are better with this one too!!! Over all this is a must buy for any fan ov death metal and quite possiby the best this band has released!!! I would also suggest annihalation of the wicked, and ithyphalic

American death metal bands have been seriously outnumbered by Scandinavian death metal bands since the mid-1990s, but let's not forget that during the early years of death metal, some of the most important groups were from the United States-including pioneers like Obituary, Death, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Necrophagia, and Deicide. And when it comes to technical death metal, there is no denying how influential American death metallers Suffocation have been since the early 1990s. It's safe to say that when Suffocation's original lineup was formed, the last thing they had on their minds was a 19th anniversary--death metal was so extreme, so left-of-center, and so blistering, those early death metal bands weren't exactly thinking in terms of longevity. But Suffocation's influence endured, and BLOOD OATH offers a vicious dose of the stubbornly technical death metal they are known for. Suffocation, like many other ...

Those Whom The Gods Detest
$12.15
Behemoth is one of the most ferocious-sounding metal bands on Earth. Vocalist/guitarist Nergal roars less like Cookie Monster and more like a blast furnace; his voice pours from the speakers and blows your hair back. Since 2000's THELEMA.6, the band has been on an unbelievable hot streak, releasing one marathon of unrelenting punishment after another. The nine songs on EVANGELION don't represent any stylistic left turns for Behemoth. The brutal riffing, avalanches of drums, and firestorm vocals are all present throughout, ...

Those Whom The Gods Detest
$13.59 
Norwegian black metal band Immortal were always a little ahead of their peers; even on primitive early albums like PURE HOLOCAUST and BATTLES IN THE NORTH, they had a gift for anthemic melody that came through the almost bassless, lo-fi production. When they shifted into high gear with 1999's classic AT THE HEART OF WINTER, combining the hard-charging black metal of the early albums with the crushing thrash of German acts like Destruction and Kreator, they became one of the best metal bands around, regardless of genre. They released two more equally impressive albums - DAMNED IN BLACK and SONS OF NORTHEN DARKNESS - then called it a day. Seven years later, they returned with a truly epic statement that's one of the best metal releases of 2009. The production on ALL SHAL FALL is a thousand miles from the caveman blare of BATTLES IN THE NORTH; they're making truly larger-than-life music as befits their pro-wrestler/barbarian-warrior ...

There was a time when metal bands needed to fly under the radar in Eastern Europe. Back in the Cold War days, communist regimes thought of metal as subversive -- and while metal wasn't impossible to find in Russia, Poland, or the former Czechoslovakia, it was rare and very, very underground. But times have certainly changed; in the post-communist, ...
