I picked this particular album because it's one of the ones that most Nile fans will tell you is a classic. Personally, I think their newer albums are better. At the Gates of Sethu is my personal favorite. I decide what album to pick for this thread a bit differently than in the album club, where I'm just going to pick albums that I personally like.
I mean, I like this album. It's good stuff. I like the atmosphere, the very low end guitars, the bussy riffing and the horror movie vocals. It's Nile by the numbers, but then, what Nile album isn't? I do like this album a lot, but it's pretty much straight death metal and nothing else. I'm not typically interested in the genre, but Nile speak to me somehow.
I voted 8. At the Gates of Sethu would be a 9 or 10, but like I said, I chose to let the Nile fanbase have a say in what to recommend.
