SACRIFICE UNTO SEBEK
Sebek, Sochet, Suchos.
Dread Lord of the Marsh.
He Who Crawleth,
Amongst the Sacred Waters,
And Devoureth the Flesh,
of That Which is Sacrificed unto Him
Tua Ashemu.
Tua Ashemu.
Rekhes Au Sebek.
Rekhes Au Sebek.
Tua Ashemu.
Tua Ashemu
Sebek, Neter, Ashemu.
Whose Teeth Rendeth and Teareth With Terrible Violence.
Restore the Eyes of the Dead.
Collect Their Skulls.
Join Their Bones Together Again.
Lord of the Temple of the Mount of Sunrise.
Open the Way unto the Underworld.
Cause the Dead to Rise to New Life.
Bring the Child Horus upon the Throne of Osiris
Sebek was the prin l crocodile God in Ancient Egypt. In primitive, pre-dynastic times, during seasons when the canals dried up, the crocodile wandered the fields at will, killing and eating whatever or whoever crossed it's path *

ANNIHILATION OF THE WICKED
Written by MDHGuitars3
If you haven't heard any Nile, stop reading this review and do so now. Few bands have made me remember my mummified interest in death metal so poignantly as these South Carolina headbangers
Annihilation Of The Wicked is every bit as an awesome alb*m as say In Their Darkened Shrines as it has all the grand hallmarks of a Nile landmark. Take unnerving Egyptian themed samples, manic drum pieces and some of the best riffs in American death metal today, and lambast it with a slew of growls so deep you'll swear you are hearing the voices of the embalmed calling from beneath depths of fathomless, windblown sand. The egyptian history and mythology lyrics are as interesting, unique, and oddly fitting as before, and none of this takes away from the music
The title track Annihilation Of The Wicked spews forth some softer guitar messings before a full blown set of face tearing riffs spew forth with frantic double bass and a wailing guitar lick that sounds like a lonely jackal howling mournfully beneath the desert stars. If a nine minute epic like this hasn't got you, nothing will. The Burning Pits Of The Duat is hellish in it's manic intensity, and the guitar harmonies a little into Sacrifice Unto Sebek had a friend and I laughing with unbridled joy at the swalkness of it all. Cast Down The Heretic has a solo so long and utterly breath taking it could be a mini song of it's own, and the simply grandoise, slower paced riff*ge on User Maat Re sounds a little like a Mastodon song lost on a desert crossing past the oasis.
All in all, Nile simply are one of the most entertaining bands to have a release this year so far. It might be I enjoy their death metal so much, or it might be they have built the death metal equivlent of the pyramids at Giza, trasncendental monuments of man, only able to by timeworn yet never destroyed. The obelisk of death metal called Nile, should they keep pumping out simply neuron melting metal such as this, will cast a shadow over all acts for eternity, just as the pyramids do on the architects of today
