I have not completed the listening of this album yet; i am on the begining, i should say, but I have already been AMAZED by the amazing riffing on that. it is magnificent. it is just awesome. execration test and wind of horus are the best songs imo till now!
what i just dont like is the fact that it contains 9 songs and 3 -i'd call them interlude/instrumental songs. some of them have some moments when they are DM but i find it boring to listen to 6 non-DM minutes in a Nile album...
EDIT: this album rocks, i'd easily call it a Masterpiece and has probably the best music ever created by NILE. it would be a 10 "hands -down" but now it is a 9 because of the not needed interludes...

Actually I enjoyed those interludes as much as the DM songs. Great balance between brutality and oriental stuff. Great album. I agree about the riffing being amazing
I heard only once, all the tracks are good, but the best are "Execration Text" and "Unas".

This album is masterpiece  . The ancient Gods of Egipet are fans of Nile.

I think I'm starting to prefer this one to Annihilation... They're both so fucking insane though.

I do enjoy that Candlemass homage. I always forget about it until I hear it.

Nah, that's always gonna be Annihilation Of The Wicked.
Never particularly cared for this album, even prefer Those Whom The Gods Detest to it. The last bunch of songs are good shit, though.

Same here, haha. I also always forget what band they were referencing until I hear the Candlemass song...

I prefer In Their Darkened Shrine - it's the pinnacle of their career IMO.
Still not sure, but I've been listening to this one a lot more than I used to  I might agree with you now.

Pinnacle of their career with George Kollias, yes. Pinnacle of their entire career, no. This album is definitely the pinnacle of their entire career.

I prefer this to AotW all day long. It feels more varied.
One of the few technical and "brutal" dm bands I like.

Perfect combination between Egyptian elements and death metal. Nile always doing this kind of stuff, but this album finds a perfect balance to make it exotic, brutal but still melodic. None of those features are overstep the boundary. Not too brutal, not soft, enough exotic but still extreme that blows your mind. Everything just belong to the right place, combined together to create a great atmosphere makes you imagine the ancient empire, the desert. So its always fun and enjoyable while listen to. One of the best death metal album ever made. 10/10
My favorite songs are Unas Slayer Of Gods and the In Their Darkened Shrines Quartet.

The best Nile album. I have nothing but praise for this tech-death masterpiece.
