Great to see you in the comments again!! I need to check out your Nile review actually, haven't had the time recently but will make sure I do. Ahh wicked man, in all honesty, I think that if you're a fan of Nails then this'll be great. It's a little faster than what I might prefer but it's definitely a good record. I am sure you'll love it mate!

@@TheMetalTris Can't wait to hear it.

Oh awesome! I'll be excited to hear what you think of it. It was definitely mine but then it just didn't click for some reason. I guess it just is what it is! I'll still give it more goes but glad that people are excited for it :)

Thanks so much my fellow coucher haha - will this be appearing on the couch?

@@TheMetalTris I am doing Leprous or Wintersun.

Hey there my friend! I'm not being funny here but the band are pretty damn niche in the first place so I don't think that they have really tried to 'sell out' considering their fan base are going to be hardcore Nile fans and this record is just as brutal as their other stuff haha - I get what you mean though, it's different but doesn't mean that they have sold out!

@@TheMetalTris Today's death metal is recorded to appeal to as many people as possible. It's supposed to be more accessible. I don't like that.

Oh awesome! Let me know what you think of the new record when it comes out tomorrow. I have to say though, if you like that more old school sound, definitely check out Black Seeds of Vengeance but my absolute favourite has to be Annihilation of the Wicked. That's a top tier banger for me!

Hahahahaha amazing! It's very difficult whatever the weather. I think that this might be the longest title that they have ever had right?!

Well I think that one of the key things about this record is that there's a lot of new energy here and there are different ideas that are being discussed you know? Which is one of the positives for me. However like you say, that level of heavy hasn't really been in the band since TWTGD I think, I would really love a reissue of that record haha - but hey we've always got Black Seeds, Annihilation and Shrines to go back to right?!

Boredom??? Wow...I'm sorry to hear you no don't have modern Nile in your collection. I encourage you to give albums like ATGOS, WSNBU, and VNR a chance. Tons of creative, atmospheric brutality.

Thanks ever so much Dunc! I think that this might be one that you'll be a fan of too mate

Hahahaha you're telling me mate! That's why I made the blooper reel haha - same here man. I think that Annihilation is my favourite record of theirs. It just hits SO hard. I think if you like VNR then you'll find a lot to love with this one. I was a fan of this for sure but missed those kind massive stomping riffs that we had on Gods and What Should Not Be Unearthed

We're definitely in the same DM camp of philosophy. They're so unique and so creative all the while being that ideal combination of brutal, technical and atmospheric. Been hooked ever since hearing Ithyphallic....and been catching them live since the TWTGD days HAILS \m/

In all honesty, I think that some of the songs that have been released are definitely not the strongest ones. Though To Strike With Secret Fang I think is a great little ripper. It's more towards the latter half of the record that I think it really kicks into gear. Naqada II and the title track itself is wicked not to mention True Gods of The Desert as well. Lots of rippers so I Will be intrigued to see what you make of it! Thanks for checking out the video all the same though, it's hugely appreciated!

​@@TheMetalTris There are more Karl Sanders interviews being uploaded this week (for promotion ofc)....and he has continued to emphasize that the first half is meant to just suck you in with the speed/brutality, while the latter half is a bit slower,/dimmy more progressive...taking its time.

Vile Nilotic Rites was awesome, there were some moments on there that I thought were more in keeping with some of the ideas on Shrines wit those more, for lack of a better word, symphonic elements I guess? Still killer records! I just wish that we would get a reissue of Those Whom The Gods Detest!

@@TheMetalTris My first taste of pre-ordering a new Nile album and seeing them live was on the TWTGD cycle! Great channel, stay metal.

And Lovecraftian lore.

@@FearFrontierOFFICIAL yes

Hahaha yeah man! Pyramids or bust haha

@@TheMetalTris walk like an egyptian lol

Haha thank you ever so much! I went to a French school when I was younger so that definitely helps with the pronounciation of all of this stuff. It's a great little chill out record for sure. Also thank you for checking out the video! I hope that I did the record justice?

Hell yeah man! A totally brilliant band one that I am sure will end up on a lot of people's end of year lists. Great stuff, thank you for checking out the video and appreciate you leaving a comment as well :)

Hey Robert! Great to hear from you as well dude, so much stuff coming out this year but I definitely think that they have saved the best for last with some of the material that is coming out in October for sure. Exciting times!

Hell yeah! Me too, cheers to you too my friend :)

Oh yeah, that will be interesting. I have heard about this band but not properly delved into them yet, I'll definitely do so though soon. Thanks for the reminder! Let me know what you think when the record is out there.

I would say that there's a good balance throughout the record of having clean vocals but that unmistakable snarl is definitely very much still there so I wouldn't worry in case you were haha!

Hey there Steve, ah mate thanks so much for the kind words there. It is hugely appreciated and I know what you mean, I thought that there were - if you'll pardon the pun - moments where that record shined and there are here too but for me, I think maybe I've just grown out of this a little. Still quality stuff though!

No way! Well that's one more time than I've seen them. Man I hope you're doing OK with the storms, it seems things are just getting more and more crazy in the US and Puerto Rico with the storms these days - be safe out there, protect that Couch at all costs!!

@@TheMetalTris the couch will stay dry

Thanks so much mate! That is hugely appreciated for both the kind words and missing the reviews haha - I do often think, would be people miss me if I just packed up this little channel? Bloodstock was mint! Arctangent this weekend, then one more festival and then sleep until the end of the year I think hahaha - not quite!

@@TheMetalTris I think without doubt you would be missed. I genuinely enjoy all of your content and I have checked out many bands because of it. Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much! That is very kind of you to say :) I think that sometimes just taking a break is important and getting that time to recharge a little bit. This summer has been a doozy! Thanks for still tuning in after all of these years!

@@TheMetalTris yep, nothing more important then taking care of yourself! 🤘🤘

That's the thing, I think it's the reliability of things that can make bands a little tricky to still get my head around. Still though, you've got to respect their legacy and what they have done for the sound right? I'm just glad that they're still going too! Thanks for the kind words my friend, it's not fun when things become not fun anymore you know? It's a clumsy way of putting it I know haha

Ah that's awesome! I hope that you'll enjoy it lots, I am sure that there will be something for you here I just wish there was a little bit more for me you know? haha

Thanks so much Justin and loving the new name as well, you're smashing it. Appreciate the kind words here my friend. I think that's the thing, I used to really like the band and that being said I don't think that this is a bad album by any means but perhaps I have just grown out of it personally. There's a hell of a lot more stuff that's coming down the pipeline!

Oh that's awesome to hear! It definitely surprised me for the level of experimentation that is on here and has had me coming back for more and more ever since. Are you a Converge or Red Chord fan as well?!

Me too! It's been in the background for a couple of my videos now and I absolutely love it as a record. Definitely going to be in my albums of the year at the end of 2024!

Hell yeah man! Leprous is going to be great. I've got Nails and Leprous in my sights for next week as well which should be fun :) - I hope we can all take the next year off hahaha

Oh no way! What a discovery. I absolutely loved this record when it came out, huge Baroness vibes on here but also their own thing at the same time you know? Have you ever seen them live at all?

@@TheMetalTris I'd love to some day :)

@@TheMetalTris hopefully they make their way down to Australia someday haha!

Merci beaucoup!! I went to a French school when I was younger so now it means I can pronounce French band names and even interview bands in French too haha! Such a great record. Also I'm not sure if you might have seen but there's a video where I interviewed the band as well at their show at Underworld. Such fantastic people!

@@TheMetalTris No!! But im gonna check it out for sure !!! Will see the band Live again this friday !!! So HYPED!!!

Thanks mate! Sorry, just getting through to all of the comments here but all of you guys are just so sweet and kind :)

Yes! I found this out later as well, apparently each track is a different paragraph essentially throughout the reading of the album. I'm really excited to hear what's next and how the record kind of works together with the older sound of the band but also the newer era as well. Exciting times!

Thanks so much man! Sorry that it's taken me a bit of time to get back to you, I took a bit of a break after this video and just thought - this is a nice line in the sand with everything you know? Appreciate the support as always!

@@TheMetalTris no problem. We all need to take a break my friend. Cheers

Hahah couldn't agree more right?! History repeats eh!

Me neither my friend, it's going to be righteous!

*interview

Oh wow thank you so much for the kind words here! I saw that you mentioned interview instead of the record, though you wouldn't be wrong about that haha - that is very kind of you though. What else have you been enjoying this year?

@@TheMetalTris I enjoyed Necrot's album very much, been listening to it non-stop now for months and I have also seen them live for the first time in Slovenia, Tolminator in July. From extreme metal - I have enjoyed Realms of chaos (album "The seed") from Slovakia, Dom zly - "Ku pogrzebaniu serc" from Poland and Guyod -("Heart of the abyss") from Austria lately. From Slovenia I strongly recommend Kamra ("Cerebral alchemy" album).

Thanks so much! I love doing these anniversary pieces but things have just been so crazy of late that I have had them put on the back burner a little you know. I'll bring them back though I think!

Dude I couldn't agree more. Nick is a good friend of mine and a truly wonderful human, not to mention the other 'Elders' shall we say. Totally brilliant people and Innate Passage still gets regular airplay from me all the time. Thanks for checking out the interview man!
