Nile strikes me as the type of band that might sound pretty lousy live -- like all that fast playing would just blur together. I'm thinking of seeing them too, but I don't want to go if I can't even tell what song they're playing.

Nile is tight as all hell live. But like that other guy said, they have no stage presence.

^ With song titles such as ""Dusk Falls Upon the Temple of the Serpent on the Mount of Sunrise" I wouldn't expect them to. I hear Karl Sanders is an absolute pro though.

Oh trust me, I was not complaining with that comment. It was quite an impressive show and had a good time. But it is quite different from another extreme band like Suffocation, where they're tight and at the same time they're going nuts headbanging, they're a blast to see live. It all comes down to whether you enjoy seeing some dudes just standing there doing their thing playing super fast metal or not. If I like the band I don't really care what they're doing, but I can see why some people would have a problem with that.

I may be going to the Nile show in Greenville, SC which is their tour opener I think. I haven't listened to much of their stuff, but gently caress it, death metal within 30 minutes of my house.

I thought they were just grumpy the other night in Louisville.Edit: KingKapalone posted:Anyone have anything to say about Nile live? Dittoing the "zero charisma or stage presence" although the first couple of times I saw them it felt refreshing that they just shut up and played. They sounded fine the other day but I'm not so familiar with the last couple of albums so the setlist didn't grab me as much as it has in the past

I'm listening to the new Megadeth and it's.... not bad?????? What sorcery is this? (Then again it doesn't take much to be better than Super Collider) I mean there's some awful moments (that Mega Man song that's the loving title track is laffo). But the Conquer and Die+ Lying in State is actually pretty cool (for a thrash band on their 15th album) Probably best since Endgame (which was criminally underrated), but nowhere near their heyday. Sound about right? (Yes Dave Mustaine is an rear end in a top hat- opinion without mentioning Dave being a nutjob thx)

This may be borderline for the metal thread, but I really enjoyed this new Venomous Concept album. Pretty no-frills grind-influenced hardcore from members of Napalm Death + Brutal Truth. It's the most fun I've had with an album so far this year. I just wish King Buzzo was still in the band.

I didn't really have the time to notice Nile having any "stage present" at all as I was headbanging the gently caress out in the middle of a massive pit when I saw them two years ago. They sounded really tight and passionate. I'm not even a huge fan or something although Annihilation of the wicked is a pretty good album.

I'm trying to remember the name of a certain pagan metal band, whom I believe are Ukrainian, but I can't think of their name. They've got an album cover where there's a big guy in a fiery kind of workplace hammering an anvil. Also, they might be fascists. Any ideas?

Saying that a Ukrainian band might be fascist is pretty redundant. edit: oh also, you're probably looking for Голос сталі by Nokturnal Mortum http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Nokturnal_Mortum/%D0%93%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%96/257430 Nokturnal Mortum are 100% definitely and completely neo-Nazis.

I've been on a viking/pagan metal kick lately with Moonsorrow announcing their new album is coming out on April 1st. ... The neo-Nazi fun fact is unfortunate.

Popular Human posted:I'm at work and can't listen to it, someone tell me how hilariously cheesy the new Dream Theater song is: Okay, I took one for the team. First of all, I was totally distracted by this photo and was laughing while I was listening, so keep this in mind.  The bottom line is that it's your totally generic Dream Theater song. Start off with piano, a few strings, then come in with chugga guitar pattern, typical La Brie chorus, break to typical beep boop beep instrumental run with guitar/keyboard harmony. It doesn't suck and I guess you'll like it if you're a fan, but it's the same poo poo they've been doing since forever. C+ edit: I read a little more and apparently I missed the AWESOME story... the song is about Gabriel communicating to his brother Arhys that he has a plan that he thinks can save them, “but there’s a betrayal theme that’s going on in the story that comes to a head,” says Petrucci.
