  The American masters of death metal are rising again by another amazing album, and the sound of Egyptian culture has returned  again from another territory of the world but in Nile’s way. Anyway, the kings of death metal "Nile" have knocked by Force in this release. The brutal riffs are, as usual, fast and heavy as well! I noticed that there’s a change in their sound it’s  not a Traditional death metal it’s more Technical death metal    with organic Middle Eastern tones. Their unique lyrical approach was inspired by Sanders and GEORGE KOLLIAS has changed many things in the band with his strong drums. it's
monstrously creative.

They have enjoyed some Egyptian melodies that bring the mommies from their graves because the new Modern sound brings  everything until the dead ears, this strong sound has been anticipated, Nile was always the source of the great music as the Nile’s river was the source of life and still until nowadays.

 Ithyphallic is the perfect example to show us who are Nile, Sanders has put a powerful voice with great inspiration in his lyric from ancient Egypt history. Anyway The album full of amazing and Perfect songs. if you re a real fan of Nile you must have this special album, I’m sure from that you will not regret if you buy it. just give it a couple of time then you'll  discover interesting things about this release.
