Nile - Ithyphallic Review

Ithyphallic continues Nile's brutal death metal sprinkled with Egyptian/Middle Eastern lyrics and influences. Most of the time they careen forward at warp speed with crushing riffs and devastating blast beats. There are times they slow down the tempos and ease off the throttle before stomping on the accelerator again. Those tempo changes are a much needed change of pace, and the Middle Eastern sections also add some variety. The album is bookended by two long and epic tracks with more focused and shorter songs in between.
