The first three albums
are great, the third, "In their
Darkened Shines", representing in my opinion the artistic summit of
the band because achieving a perfect symbiosis between brutal technical death
and the atmospheres of ancient Egypt, and this, from very epic songs and The
4th album,"Annihilation of the
Wicked", if it is also very good, was still a slight disappointment at
the time, the band having chosen to focus on the brutal aspect of its music in
offering shorter pieces and abandoning the epic side. This
orientation continued there after
About "Vile Nilotic Rites" firstly
the sound quality is pretty awesome the cutting edge technology sounds
much clearer
The band formula has not really changed since the
beginning and we can sometimes have the impression of having already heard some
things or stuff.
Dallas Toller-Wade leaves Nile
two years ago, we were concerned that the band sound would be changed.
Although Karl Sanders
composes most of the music of the Nile since Among the catacombs of Nephren-Ka,
Toller-Wade was an essential link in the Nile machine from its beginnings.
But in my opinion the fans
won’t really be surprised by anything that’s going on here. Vile Nilotic
Rites does not suddenly top Annihilation of the Wicked , Ithyphallic
, Annihilation of the Wicked , or the master piece of Nile….. Black Seeds of Vengeance yeah ,!! in the pantheon of Nile albums. If you
liked What Should Not Be Unearthed, check this out. There are impressive
moments throughout. If you hated their last album, nothing here will change
your mind. I find this to be a mild improvement on Nile‘s recent efforts, but
not one that changed my opinion about the band at all. When a band has a
history like Nile’s, that alone is impressive. In any case , you should have Vile
Nilotic Rites in your collection,If you want
because you can like or dislike ………… compared
to their previous stuff .
