Who here likes Egypt? Cool, I have a band for you.
It's not often you find a band that's as lyrically theatrical as Nile while actually giving information. If you listen to what these guys have to say, you'll actually get a load of Egyptian mythology thrown at you. Most of that's because the primary writer, Karl Sanders, is a huge Egypt buff.
On top of that their songs are crushingly brutal. I remember checking these guys out in the past and really not enjoying what they had to offer, but listening again I'm fully willing to believe I just picked up the wrong album. I mean, I enjoy Death Metal a lot more now than I used to as well, but no biggie.
QUESTION! What's been your favorite song I've posted so far this month / What band have you been most excited to get introduced to?

I love everything to do with ancient Egypt, but I don't think Death Metal will ever be my favourite kind of music. I think Edenbridge or Il Nino have been my favourites so far!

I can fully accept that, haha
DeleteI'm glad you've enjoyed Edenbridge and Ill Nińo too! They're both pretty solid acts
A bit heavy for me again, but I like the idea of a band with an Egyptian theme :)
