Let me know you favourite Nile album down below 🐪

I am so fucking grateful to Nile, all of their albums are excellent, and most of them are death metal masterpieces. Was trying to rank Nile albums by myself, and I felt that it's almost impossible. My favorite Nile album is whatever I listen to at that moment. (I listen to Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka most. When I first heard the album, the opening track made my head explode.)

Nile has grown on me to become my favorite death metal band, so much that I end up buy all their albums. Really nice production on those who the gods detest. Some other death metal bands repeat and repeat the same sounds, Nile shows high level of musicality and technical mastery… love it. Keep it on please. Great video though 👍

My ranking: 1. In Their Darkened Shrines (my favorite for it's consistency and for Unas, Slayer of the Gods) 2. Annihilation of the Wicked (amazing follow-up to ITDS) 3. Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka (classic debut and with more brutality and less technique) 4. Ithyphallic (my first Nile album I heard and love the intensity) 5. Black Seeds of Vengeance (over the top technical wizardry with a classic in "To Dream of Ur" 6. What Should Not Be Unearthed (a great sendoff to Dallas Toler Wade and with a classic opener) 7. Those Whom the Gods Detest (Solid, but thought the production was a bit too clean) 8. Vile Nilotic Rites (feel like this is a transition album for the next one, since it's the first one with Brian Kingsland) 9. At the Gate of Sethu (not bad, but did not like the production)

"Those Whom the Gods Detest" for me, all the way. There's times I think it's not as good as I remember but the moment I hear the chant-singing of "THERE IS NO GOD, THERE IS NO GOD" I'm all f**king in

I just found your channel this week. I love what I’ve seen so far

I always wonder how this band can be so fast, technical and catchy as fuck at the same time. Nothing tops Annihilation Of The Wicked For me

1) Annihilation of The Wicked (Masterpiece) 2) In Their Darkened Shrines (Masterpiece) 3) Black Seeds of Vengeance (nearly a masterpiece, still a stone cold classic) 4) Those Whom The Gods Detest (so many sick tracks, might as well be tied with Black Seeds of Vengeance. also, come on, this is the album with 4th Arra of Dagon) 5) Vile Nilotic Rites 6) What Should Not Be Unearthed 7) At The Gate of Sethu (underrated as HELL. The Gods Who Light Up The Sky At The Gate of Sethu has some of Nile’s nastiest riffs of all time) 8) Amongst The Catacombs of Nephren-Ka (don’t kill me, it’s low for the same reason Quest For Metal ranked it low: I rarely listen to it) 9) Ithyphallic (still a really good album, just doesn’t stick with me like their other records. feels like Nile-by-the-numbers, which isn’t a bad thing by any means, ‘cause Nile going through the motions is still much better than most bands at their best)

Honestly your #2 and #1 Nile albums are also my top 2. They both change all the time. Nile is awesome

It's cool to hear your passion & love for Nile. I completely agree about every album being excellent. For me it's Annihilation...but ask me again in 6 months... Maybe a little bit of brutality was lost when Dallas left...just a bit...

Annihilation of the Wicked is my favorite album, Those Whose the Gods Detest is a very close second though

In Their Darkened Shrines' drumming (tony laureano) is the best, most creative I've ever heard.

Absolutely agree with your number one pick!

I slept on In Their Darkened Shrines SO bad... I knew of Execration Text on it before listening to the full album. - And Execration Text is probably a top-3 Nile song for me... But yea, literally like a month ago I went looking for Execration Text again then just decided to listen to the whole album, and goodness gracious... what an album. Definitely between In Their Darkened Shrines and Annihilation of the Wicked for me.

yeah those whom is just amazing flat out 12/10 album its so good wtf

Cryptopsy hoodie! Agreed that Those Whom The Gods Detest is the best album.

Thanks for the video. If you want crazy song titles then check out Quadratura Cinetectura. Not a metal album per se, but one of the genres there.

Nile was the band to get me into brutal death metal, darkest shrines is my favorite. I wish they would incorporate more rotten dissonant horns

My most favorite Nile album: ANNIHILATION OF THE WICKED. My least favourite Nile album: NOPE, NOT YET. But let me go with Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka, because I have never listened to the whole album except Ramses Bringer of War. Favourite Nile songs: 1) Sacrifice Unto Sebek 2) Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who is In the Water (hell yeah!!) 3) Sarcophagus 4) Enduring the Eternal Molestation of Flame 5) 4th Arra of Dagon 6) Kafir! 7) Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld 8) Invocation of the Gate of Aat-Ankh-Es-En-Amenti 9) Dusk Falls Upon the Temple of the Serpent on the Mount of Sunrise 10) Negating the Abominable Coils of Apep And the list goes on.......and ON......AND ON!!!!

I enjoyed the hand gesture you made when you mentioned Masturbating The War God, good times. My favourite is probably Black Seeds of Vengance. I love the title track and To Dream Of Ur on that one. I havn't heard the last bunch of albums though, something I will remedy one of these days.

Annihilation of the Wicked and In Their Darkened Shrines. My chihuahua, Horus, agrees.

Favorite: Annihilation of the Wicked. Lashed to the Slave Stick alone makes this album. Least Favorite: What Should Not Be Unearthed; thought this was pretty boring.

I agree with ithyphalics’ production but I got used to it during the listen but still an amazing album

I Like "At The Gate Of Sethu" over "Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka". But I love boths. while pick which of the others is the best Nile album, is a very hard choice. Normally do have my temporal Nile favorite album. I listen to it for a while and switch to another Nile album.

My favourite is Ithyphallic followed by In their darkende shrines.

I agree with this ranking.

All their albums are great but Annihilation of the Wicked is my favourite!

For me the best nile album is the debut. I just love the rawness and the fact that it ain't wanky at all.

My top 3 Albums are (in no particular order) “Annihilation Of The Wicked”, “Those Whom The Gods Detest” & “Black Seeds Of Vengence”.

For some reason despite listening to them in passing for almost 20 years I’ve just never fully gotten into this band. Might be time to dig in again.

Also listen to Worship the Animal, hearing the thrash vocals with tech death instrumentation is weird

I liked their classic stuff. Nephren-Ka to Annihilation of the Wicked are great albums. Afterwards, it just didn’t hit right with me. I know it’s still Nile but Annihilation and Darkened Shrines are incredible death metal masterpieces.

Those whom the gods detest is a death metal masterpiece and likely in my top 5 albums of all time

in thier darkend shrines definitely

Oh man Anhilation is my favorite death metal album of all time I like for those who the gods detest but I'd have to put it at #4

After a few listens, I actually think At the Gate of Sethu is quite good. Like God's Detest, but not quite the same quality, which is fine because that album is amazing.

Ithyphallic's sound is underatted, I bet it inspired a ton of cavernous dm.

I always listen at full blast and ithyphalic is my second favorite

9. At the Gate of Sethu 8. Ithyphallic 7. Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka 6. What Should Not be Unearthed 5. Black Seeds of Vengeance 4. Annihilation of the Wicked 3. Vile Nilotic Rites 2. Those Whom the Gods Detest 1. In Their Darkened Shrines

1. Those Whom the Gods Detest 2. Annihilation of the Wicked 3. Black Seeds of Vengeance 4. In Their Darkened Shirnes 5. Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka 6. Ithyphallic 7. What Should Not Be Unearthed 8. Vile Nilotic Rites 9. At the Gate of Sethu

Neph's as second to last... pains my heart. For the longest time it was my favourite, until it got overtaken by AotW. Still love it tho.

I've come to the comments to be berated for being the person whose favorite album is the newest one. I'm sensitive to production, and man, that production is just so much better than any other Nile album (or clean, at least). I'd love to hear what I should listen for in the other albums though

1. Ithyphallic 2. Annihilation of the Wicked 3. Those Whom the Gods Detest 4. In Their Darkened Shrines 5. What Should Not Be Unearthed 6. Black Seeds of Vengeance 7. Vile Nilotic Rites 8.At the Gate of Sethu 9. Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka

Annihilation of the wicked, top tier Nile! \m/ Cast down the heretic!

ive never been into tech death. But it seems like niles gonna be an exception. I just listened annihalition of the wicked last night,i didnt like like it tbh. Then i listened those whom the gods detest and it was really good. Its tech death but still keeping the groove in it. Lot more meladic and catchy than annihalition of the wicked imo as well.

It changes everyday, today it would be: Annihilation Vengeance Shrines Catacombs Ithyphallic Gods Unearthed Sethu Rites

I actually prefer the demo and ep to the actual debut. Extinct is a fucking banger

before i watch the video my fav is annihilation of the wicked

Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren Ka and Annihilation of the Wicked are the best. Nile's best song is Unas Slayer of Gods

For me the best by a mile is Nile - in Their Darkened Shrines - they really did something radicaly different on that album and went hard into melody and atmosphere in a way taht really works - for me the weakest is probably Black Seeds of Vengence or Annhilation very many boring songs on thoes albums

This is just one of those bands I'm destined not to get. The respect for the musicianship and the artistry, but, I just don't get the God-Tier status...there are incredible moments, incredible breakdowns, etc...but, I just don't hear anything "memorable."

This is the only band that has no bad album besides Death. I personally can’t put anything other than Annihilation as my number one though.

At The Gates Of Sethu is their worst album, but also, it's 7.5/10 imo

AotW all the way.

This is missing worship the animal

I saw them and Monstrosity live back in 1999 for my first death metal show in Spartanburg SC. So for me its Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren- Ka and then Festivals Of Atonement which you can't find anymore. They are more brutal and raw sounding. The newer stuff after Blacks Seeds Of Vengeance all blends together and sounds too samey.

9. What Should Not Be Unearthed - Whay should not be Released - what a mess in all ways possible: forgettable messy tracks, messy sound, zero atmosphere...ugh... 8. At the Gate of Sethu - some tracks are really great and catchy, some are a total lackluster and yes, dull plastic sound of elder Nile. 7. Vile Nilotic Rites - some light of hope shines through this masterful, yet somehow tired work of brutal art. 6. Those Whom the Gods Detest - overall great material compromised by thin and plastic sound. 5. Ithyphallic - somwhere brillint materiasl and somwhere really mediocre, but compromised by the crawling plagued of all their forthcoming albums: thin, plastic and sandy sound plus Kollias tends to play as many hits as he can, totally neglecting all the groove. 4. Black Seeds of Vengeance - transitory LP when they pushe shredding far, but the ramains of old atmospheric features here ant there, especially To Dream of Ur, also a bit chaotic drumming but they had issues with Pete Hommure and Derek Roddy blasts great for only a two-weeks of studio work. 3. Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka - hits lite a paleolithic meteorite! Blazing fast and remarkably furious plus tons of original ethinc features in every minute and probably their best sound: high dynamic range and punchy mix in such a dense package! 2. Annihilation of the Wicked - their second peak, that raised their level far above the others, once again: overpolished and overcompressed sound and as usual a pair of unremarkable tracks. 1. In Their Darkened Shrines - my personal peak of their career, but not without wrinkles: compressed sound and some unremarkable particular tracks, but Unas is the best epic in whole genre!
