It's not just the use of dual vocals - it's the way in which they use them.
He might think they're awful, but he shouldn't doubt their originality. They have a unique sound to them as in my post above. They go at whatever speed suits their music - not always fast, but usually fast. It isn't really any more done to death than going at medium speed or slow speed. Thousands of bands have done each.
I didn't like Nile at first because it just sounded like a mess of noise. I find that when I listen to them, I have to change my speaker setup because there's quite a lot going on at once. But even if I didn't like them now, I wouldn't doubt their originality.
Karl Sander's solo album is pretty good - just beware that it would appeal more to ambient/post-rock/prog fans than metal fans.
